what to get? 312DI or Ferrite Passive DI

[drew571]

I'd like to get a nice DI and have been looking at the Ferrite Passive DI and the VP 312DI.

I've already got some VP26's that I could plug the Ferrite Passive DI into. Anything I'd be gaining from running it through the 312?

Just curious. Thanks.

Well lets look at it this way one is just a passive di the other is a full mic pre with a di. both will do the job so, if you ask me,  it comes down to weather you could use another mic pre.

or economy ,
a separate d.i. you can plug into any  preamp , if your tastes change or your inventory grows
if you want a particular preamp , the d.i. is a bonus , some gts like active others work better passive
fine to have both .

This is a DIY forum, so why not build your own? Bo Hansen's DI box is easy to do, is well documented and what's more it sounds good too!
