Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I'm not sure how well the Shark would work as a DI as I haven't tried them for that. Behringer makes an excellent DI. I have several. They are silent, have attenuaters, ground lifts, very full featured for the price. Paul might know if the pre-amp mode of the Shark would work as an effective DI, I only use them for emergencies to fix the otherwise unfixable. |

Location: Scotland | The Shark will work perfectly as a DI box, as it has balanced & unbalanced inputs & outputs. In addition to the DI facilty you get a high pass filter with user-definable roll-off point, a compressor (not a great compressor, but it's OK) a noise gate & of course the 24-filter automatic Feedback destroyer. It also works as a mic-preamp & phantom power supply. The only disadvantages are that it has no EQ & it needs a wall-wart. Also YOU MUST READ THE MANUAL CAREFULLY as the correct input gain set-up is vital.
I use a Baggs Para Acoustic & a Boss AD5 with a Shark at the end of the chain, but as a one-box problem-solver for acoustic intruments the Shark is unbeatable for the money. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Thanks Paul,
I've only used the Shark on mic's and inline in LOUD stage situations. I wondered how the preamp was for use on a guitar or just basically as a DI. I figured it would, but didn't want to guess. |
