Acoustic guitarists need a good DI for live use and LR Baggs have got the perfect DI in their range called the Para DI.

It’s a studio grade DI box that will boost your guitars signal going into a mixing desk or act as a preamp in studio.

Total EQ Control

It doesn’t matter what guitar you have because the Para DI can sculpt the EQ range of any acoustic as well as provide enough gain for passive or active pickup systems.

It’s got a 5 band EQ range for total control and if you need to take the boom out of your jumbo or boost the low-mid of your triple O then you can do so with the Para.

Having a tuneable mid-range makes it really easy to get a good sound, no matter where you’re playing. Different venues will make your acoustic sound vastly different which is why you will want to have control over your acoustic sound. It also means you can dial yourself into a band mix so that your acoustic will be heard.

The sturdy chassis will mean you use the DI at any gig, along with the fact that it can be powered by a 9v battery or phantom power (48v) from a mixing desk.

Here’s What LR Baggs Say About The Para DI

Due to its studio quality performance, powerful tone shaping EQ and rock-solid reliability, the Para DI has become an indispensable stage tool for countless musicians around the world. This roadworthy box effortlessly tames the stage and enhances any acoustic pickup for a fuller, more complex sound. The Para DI features a 5-band EQ with a tunable midrange and notch, variable gain control for passive or active pickups and a high-quality DI output for a pristine signal to the board.

  • 5 band EQ with tunable notch and midrange bands

Brand

LR Baggs

In the current JustPedals catalogue, LR Baggs is represented by Preamp & DI Pedals, EQ Pedals and Reverb Pedals. Current listings include Session DI, Venue DI Pre-Amp and Align Series Reverb. That makes the range relevant to players looking for time-based effects and ambience, plus modulation and movement. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Preamp & DI Pedals

Preamp and DI pedals shape an instrument signal and can feed a mixer, interface, PA, recorder or amplifier with a more controlled level and impedance. They may add EQ, gain, cabinet simulation, balanced output, ground lift or instrument-specific voicing. A bass, acoustic or electric-guitar preamp can solve very different problems, so check the input headroom, output format, phantom-power behaviour and routing. Decide whether the pedal should drive an amp, replace one for direct use or perform both roles.

Acoustic

Acoustic products are designed or voiced for acoustic instruments, including piezo, magnetic and microphone-based sources. Input impedance, body resonance, attack, EQ, compression, ambience and feedback control can all affect the result. Check whether the product is intended for acoustic guitar, another stringed instrument or general use, and confirm the connection, power and output format before placing it into a live PA or recording chain.

Battery Powered

Can operate from an internal replaceable battery, usually with different available current and running time from an external supply. Battery chemistry, access and automatic disconnection through the input socket affect practical runtime and storage. High-current digital processing generally shortens battery life more sharply than a simple analogue circuit.

EQ

EQ changes the level of selected frequency bands rather than adding one fixed effect. Graphic, parametric and sweepable designs can remove resonances, shape a drive stage or place an instrument more clearly in a mix. Centre frequency, Q, cut and boost range, output headroom and bypass type all matter. EQ before gain changes the frequencies that clip; EQ after gain acts more like finished tone shaping, so placement should follow the problem being solved.
