Re: [Harp-L] Amp>DI box>PA

[Greg Heumann <greg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a function of the way your amp's line-out is wired, not the DI  
box. Some line-outs are wired to the pre-amp section of an amp and  
will be cleaner than the sound coming out of the speakers. However  
that isn't always the case. The line-out circuit on my Sonny Jr.  
Cruncher comes from the output transformer - i.e., it is the same  
signal being sent to the speakers, just reduced in power to the proper  
level. The result is excellent tone through the house system. The  
sounds guys I work with love it - it is easier for them to manage and  
doesn't introduce extra noise like a mic does.
