L.R. Baggs Pickups - Venue D.I.MPN: Venue D.I. The adjustable boost on this L.R. Baggs Venue DI is very useful and the notch filter, which eliminates feedback, is noticeably helpful while maintaining solid tone. The built-in tuner makes this unit an all-in-one D.I. perfect for any acoustic instrument player. - Matthew K. Got to use this for an all acoustic set. It's really exceptional. I had been using the Paracoustic DI, which till now was the best unit I've found. The Venue really smooths out the harsh qualities that come with acoustic pickups in general. I basically plugged it in, set it flat, ran the DI to the house and another line to a Fishman Loudbox 100. I did fiddle with the EQ a bit which is really nice and gradual in response. I'm sure if I had more time I could have dialed in an even better sound, but I must say at flat response it was very enjoyable. Two really nice surprises on this... First, the tuner is deadly accurate. I was using a Collings OM with a Fishman Natural and the tuner is so easy to see, and spot on. Secondly, the Boost switch sounds fantastic. In fact, I left the boost on and used my vol pedal to pull is back a bit, but still have room to get over the top if necessary. All-in-all this is a really nice unit and considering the tuner and boost, I think it's a great deal. It's also built like a tank. I just ordered my own. - John F. Make the very most of your true sound at any venue. This is so much more than a DI box and will easily become an essential element for any live acoustic player. You've got a 5-band adjustable EQ, a boost footswitch, a chromatic tuner, with mute, plus a notch filter and ground loop eliminator to cut out feedback and noise. There's even an auxiliary send/return effects loop. Did we mention how well built this is? Check out Lloyd Baggs giving this a real roadworthy test - running it over with a truck! This L.R. Baggs Venue DI really is innovative, designed to withstand real road use, and lets your true sound come through beautifully and easily. $399.00 retail $299.00
