INTERFACE

MISCELLANEOUS

A ¼” female-female phone adapter is provided so that DI can be used with a regular guitar cable and plugged into “difficult” instruments such as Fender Stratocasters. Use of the adapter will, of course, disable the automatic mute on the DI’s Silent Plug. So care must be taken when plugging into the instrument and vice-versa.
Some instruments with active pickups have very high output level. In this case the instrument level should be reduced for maximum clarity.
The DI was manufactured and designed (by hand and brain …) in Canada.
Each DI is subject to lengthy burn-in period - for maximum reliability
One year warranty (for manufacturer defects).
Usage of the amplifier output while connected to a console may cause a ground loop and hum. Changing the grounding of the amplifier may resolve this problem
