A must have for Acoustics
I have used this on my Double Bass to kill feedback & boost the passive signal...It is the perfect fix for all my problems & I guess it will be useful on other acoustic instruments when I need it. <<5 stars.>>

This will transform your sound
As an acoustic guitar player im struck with a familiar issue that occurs time and time again, how do i get my acoustic guitar to sound as good plugged in as it does acoustically? Well this pedal is the answer. I own Martin M-36, and i love the clarity and richness of the tone when playing at home on my own or at intimate gigs. However, even after i fitted it with a K&K pickup it still lacked the fullness of sound when put into an electric full band environment, until i bought the L.R. Baggs acoustic preamp. Not only does it give you full control of your eq settings, it boosts the signal of your guitar without breaking up the signal or colouring it in anyway, allowing the quality tone of your acoustic guitar to shine through unaltered. Overall this pedal is a great edition to any acoustic players board. It may seem pricey, but after using it at your first gig it will of paid for itself twice over.

Essential
If you perform in live situations with with your acoustic guitar, then you better not leave your house without this. L.R Baggs make top class equipment and this Para acoustic D.I is a prime example if their amazing work. It's compact, robust, very appealing to the eye and it has very useable straight forward layout. No more hums, squeals or "honky" guitar tones. This D.I is an acoustic guitar players best friend and absolutely will not disappoint or let you down.

Great for the job
The Para DI came recommended all over the internet because I have a bridge plate transducer P/U - the L R Baggs iBeam (this P/U/ was an early answer to piezo quack, acting like a mic inside the guitar, but had inherent feedback issues to go with its superior sound) in my acoustic guitar. I , can pull out offending frequencies with the notch filter, and sweepable mid section (though id prefer to boost with this function). It's a handy eq close to hand before i send to the desk, and I can send to the desk seperately before I apply a whack of effects pedals to the amp as well. It's an expensive convenience, but a necessary one at that. I only have it a week, but it's doing what it says on the tin so far.

Great solution for gigging with acoustic guitars
I have had this device for three years and am still very satisfied with it. I use it to play several acoustics, all of which have K&K soundboard transducers, through a PA. The high input impedance keeps ensures there is enough bass. The controls are perfect for dialling back in a natural sound, and the notch filter is great for eliminating feedback. It is capable wide tonal variations, so two very different sounding pickups, for instance from my arch top and flat top, can be made to sound very good indeed. Eliminates all piezo quack. I use it at every gig and would not be without it.

Transformational and astonishing
I bought this to use for 2 guitars: a Faith FECS with a shadow 4020 preamp which always sounded thin , and a guild F-1512 fitted with k&k pure 12 string passive pickup.
Having heard the difference this little box makes it is coming with me everywhere I need amplification. These guitars now sound cleaner , brighter, and considerably more expensive.

Fantastic DI
This is an excellent DI box for taking an acoustic guitar into a PA. I bought it on a recommendation from a friend, and was a little sceptical that it would make a significant difference from the (good quality) general purpose DI box I was using. I was really surprised at the difference it makes - the guitar sounds so much more alive through this DI, with sparkling trebles, and a really natural sound reflecting the high quality sound out of my Taylor guitar. No regrets buying this!
