[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 48159, member: 34"] Re: Acoustic guitar into passive DI I don't know what brand the DIs were that you were using - but this is a huge reason to spend more money up front to get better gear. I have no problem spending $150 on a DI if it's going to last 10 years without a hint of an issue. I can't afford to have a show-stopping failure because of a crappy piece of gear. Same thing with cables. I only have the highest quality cables I can get because I can't afford to have a show stop because one of them fails. It doesn't matter what they cost. Not saying this was your fault at all - you weren't using your gear. This is one of the big reasons that I'm really wary of doing walk-in gigs; most of the time the gear isn't up to my standards and I can't afford to have a show-stopping failure blamed on me when it was really the gear I didn't provide.
