Behringer ADI21 V-Tone Acoustic Driver DI Box

Semplicemente un prodotto ottimo ad un prezzo eccezionale.Al contrario delle recensioni che parlavano di qualcosa di "plasticoso", io ho trovato il prodotto resistente. Ovvio che non è acciaio ma qualcosa bisogna pur sacrificarlo per tenere questo prezzo ed io sinceramente preferisco stare un po' più attento ma non sacrificare la qualità del suono.Inoltre, chi dice che non fa nulla, o ha problemi alla chittarra o all'ampli o a entrambi: consiglio di provare alcune impostazioni consigliate nel manuale. Ci sono varie regolazioni a seconda del genere: io ho imppstato su "jazz" e appena acceso ho sentito subito un suono più morbido, meno "stridulo" e più equilibrato. Questo prodotto non è fatto per stravolgere il timbro ma per migliorarlo, intensificarlo - non è la stessa logica degli effetti a pedale.Visto il prezzo non si può che aggiungerlo alla propria pedaliera e imparare a conoscerlo, magari provando prima tutte le regolazioni consigliate nel manuale.

A steal for the price! I enjoyed using this gear. Sound quality coming out from my guitar is enhanced, perfect for the small church sanctuary.

Nice features in a somewhat delicate package. It beefed up the sound of my Guild 12 string that I purchased it for but, also works well with my Eastman E3D and believe it or not, my Autoharp.

Guter Sound für Akustikgitarren!

Certes on ne présente plus les créations "Behringer" qui concernent les pédales d'effet, un prix dérisoire pour un résultat étonnant.J'ai essayé cette pédale qui a comme particularité de creuser le médium avec un filtre paramétrique,c'est très propre,il en résulte une possibilité de travail sur le son intéressante, comme d'habitude le rapport signal/bruit est très bon, il reste sans doute la fragilité du boîtier, mais on n'est pas obligé de le laisser tomber du douzième étage !

I normally use a fender acoustic amp because my guitar sounds horrible direct into a PA.(under-saddle piezo w/o active on board electronics).This makes my guitar sound as good or better than the amp direct into the PA.Took a bit fiddling with the knows to get it to sound right: now it sounds great.This box is way smaller and light than lugging around an amp.I will be doing light gigging with it.They cheaped out and had single-color knobs. I added white dots of nail polish with a toothpick.If that rubs off, I'll make a small dimple with a dremel and re-do. I also highlighted "in" and "out" in white.I can't even fault them at this price point.

superb DI for any semi acoustic guitar, boosts up the tone of guitar, many settings, sturdy.

Hace más natural el sonido de mi guitarra electroacústica al conectarla.

I'm Mr.Tom, I'm a songwriter/composer under performance rights organization, BMI Inc. Here is my review on this DI acoustic boc.The good:The price of the unit is very low, and I like that. There is a lot of control for tone shaping. I also like that it has both a XLR and 1/4 out jack on the back of the unit. For hooking up to an "guitar amplifier" that is what this pedal is good for... tone shape in a "live" setting through an guitar amplifier.The bad:This is for piezo pickups in a acoustic guitar (or other string instrumental with the same type of pickups) hooked up to an guitar amplifier ONLY. The main issue is that this part of the product description: "Direct Recording Preamp" - is "not true", if you are using this to record directly to your computer using a USB interface box, you are going to find out that the signal "does not" get increased by any significant "db's". Again, this is only useful when hooked up to a guitar amplifier for a live performance.

Update: Upon further experimentation with this DI and the Headway Band violin pickup, I have to say that it sounds best (clearest) when you turn it off. ("Off" means turn off the effects and filters with the pedal switch; it's still plugged in and the actual DI is still active). After you turn the effects on, there's a muddiness that it smears into the sound. I'm now using this in the turned-off mode as a transparent DI with a simple cheap graphic equalizer pedal before it (just to pull down low frequency hums and bumps), which sounds great. I'm starting to wish I'd gotten a legit full-price acoustic DI like the ones from Radial or LR Baggs. But, honestly, off or on, this DI is very usable and sounds perfectly fine with just a fiddle pickup on one side and a PA on the other side, so I can't complain. Another important clarification from my original comments below: I am *no longer* getting any distortion sounds from the blend function, even turned all the way up, now that I've taken down the =Original Review:I use this DI with my fiddle and a Headway Band piezo pickup. For the price, wow, this is a really functional and versatile DI. First impression from my bandmate who is a career audio pro: "This gives us so much control, and it sounds good! You done well!!!" The only improvements you could get on this in any alternative piezo acoustic DI units would require paying at least five times as much. Honestly, my setup sounds pretty good with this box in transparent mode (foot switch off, which deactivates the eq and effects) but I'll be using it in the "on" position with some of that "blend" magic (I guess it's a combination of compression and reverb?). Don't use too much Blend though, on this pedal -- here's the hard but true secret we've discovered: the "blend" effect gets overloaded really easily. That means I can get distortion really easily when I play double stops on the fiddle. The only way to avoid it is to turn down blend, and turn down all the eq knobs well below the mid point. Unfortunately though turning everything down makes some of the subtle stuff a bit muddy. It depends on your pickup, but I've subsequently put a 6-band graphic EQ between the fiddle and DI to cut down the super low end (100 Hz) solely to avoid the distortion from the blend function, and that helps. I don't totaly understand but I guess the blend effect doesn't respond well to a big dynamic range, and my fiddle pickup booms too much in the low end for this pedal. What I *really* want on this pedal, if not a more robust blend function, would be a "low cut" switch like some other DI units have. With another more "tin can" sounding fiddle piezo pickup, though, we found that you have to turn down everything but especially the mids to avoid distortion. NOTE: this pickup and DI combo *never* give me any distortion with the "blend" turned down all the way, or with the effects switch in the "off" position. When this pedal's effects are "off," (the active DI still functions when "off" but not when you cut power) I actually sound clear as a bell, I just lose all the control and effects.. So, verdict: it sounds good for playing fiddle in a band, with the right tweaks, but it definitely makes everything either a little distorted or a little muddy/underwater, depending on what compromises you make on the settings. Anyway, I'll be saving up for a clearer more robust active DI from Radial, but that'll be hundreds of dollars. In the meantime this box seems to be making everyone happy and it's a terrific value for the price.
