[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 90172, member: 42"] Re: Bass guitar through DI settings? Any passive DI that cheap is going to have a crappy transformer in it which means low frequency rolloff, saturation, and distortion with hotter sources. Avoid them. When it comes to passive DIs, spend the extra money for something decent. With active you can often get away with the cheapies, but not always. Generally speaking, you usually want to use an active DI with any guitar/bass setup with passive pickups to present minimal loading to the pickup in order to maintain frequency response and minimal distortion. With piezo pickups and no preamp, you want really high input impedances, usually >2 megohms. [/QUOTE]
