[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 48055, member: 34"] Re: Acoustic guitar into passive DI My thoughts: Guitar with active pickup? Battery sounds dead. Guitar with passive pickup? Needs active DI. Every time I propose the 'battery dead' option the guitarists always insist it's fine, with any number of excuses. You need to hand them a brand new battery and watch them install it, and you'll be fine 90% of the time. Possibly a bad cable somewhere - was it a real, proper, TS instrument cable? Most active pickups are turned on by a TS cable being plugged into a TRS jack - the sleeve and ring get shorted by plugging in the cable, turning on the pickup. If it was a TRS cable it would not have turned on the pickup and you'd have a big issue. [/QUOTE]
