The worship team guys kept telling me how clean the signal was from my acoustic guitar. My acoustic guitar had the K & K Trinity system, and it came with a belt clip external preamp. I used to feed this into the church's no name active DI box. Not only did it overload my signal, but the sound was grainy and somewhat distorted. With the Radial JDI, it was the purest, most transparent, uncolored sound I ever heard from my acoustic guitar plugged in. I play a lot of finger style, and each tone came out crystal clear. Money well spent, no doubt about it. If you are looking for a DI box, look no further. Thank you John for recommending this.
