If the sound is ok, than it is ok! You can not measure how a guitar does sound. Usually all direct inputs, if made for guitar or not, don't provide the full mids and bass provided by a guitar amp and guitar speaker. Guitar frequencies are all low to mid range. Hi frequencies are an issue, but more problematic is the missing mid and low fullness provided by a real amp and speaker. A good guitar amp and speaker bias the guitars sound a lot, they don't provide a neutral sound. This is wanted, not bad design! However, if the sound does not satisfy you, then get a guitar preamp and not a DI box! maybe a Hughes & Kettner tube thingy (not a speaker/amp simulation, just a guitar preamp). If you anyway use stomp boxes, at least too low output level could be compensated by a stomp box, but it unlikely provides the sound enhancement you get with a guitar pre-amp. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
