In this episode I dive into the emerging trend to have a single amp in a single pedal and to use it without another amplifier, instead going direct to the PA, to FRFR speakers or to a recording interface

When playing instruments that have high impedance outputs and needing long cable runs, we suffer signal loss.

If you play live through a distant PA, acoustic amp or to a recording interface, an inexpensive DI box can be a game changing thing,
