LR Baggs Session Acoustic DI

The Session DI is LR Baggs' latest offering. I've long been a fan of Baggs preamps like the Para Acoustic DI, and this moves the Para DI concept to a new level.

The Session DI enhances your acoustic pickup and imparts the rich sonic character that you'd expect from an experienced audio engineer using some of the world's finest studio gear. LR Baggs have captured this studio magic and put it into a compact, easy-to-use DI that will transform your live sound. All the essentials in one very well designed package.

Analogue Saturation

Often used by studio engineers in post-production, saturation adds warmth, dimension, and pleasing harmonics while smoothing the signal for an enhanced mix. The Session DI's proprietary saturation is voiced specifically for the acoustic guitar and transports studio analog warmth and inspiring playability to the stage.

Compression EQ
 
Unlike standard compression that can squash the entire range of your signal, the Session DI's Comp EQ features 3 narrowly focused bands of compression that tame common problematic frequencies and uncover the voice of your guitar. The low, mid, and high frequency compressors are essentially "touch-sensitive" EQs that respond in real-time to your dynamics. The harder you strum, the more they compress and vice versa.
