Hi all, I need some help. I'm looking to try out different DI boxes to record my amps direct. I have a Weber Mini Mass so I have my dummy load/attenuator needs taken care of. I'd like to get one with a speaker sim just so I have one if needed, but I'm currently experimenting with using IR's for speaker/cab simulations, so I'd like the DI box to allow me to turn off the speaker sim so I can try using the IR's with it.
My budget is only about $200, so I'm a little limited. Also, I'm currently using a Behringer Ultra G, but I'd like to see what the other units can do soundwise (can they get a bit more realistic/warmer sounding). If they're no better sounding than the Behringer, I'll just stick with that.
For recording gear, I'm using a Zoom R8 for an interface going into Cubase LE on a windows machine. Guitars and amps are Fenders or a tweed like fender clone. Also using a variety of OD boxes when OD or distortion is needed.
Currently I'm thinking about units from Radial, Palmer (PDI-09) and the Red Box, but I'm not sure which of these will allow me to defeat the speaker sim. There are a bunch of units from Radial, but again, not sure which have speaker sims and if I can shut the sims off or not.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
