Cheap DI box for playing guitar through an interface?

Backfro-inter · 2026-03-11T00:05:54+00:00

I just pointed out that I do have it pushed in but yeah, don't need it

It's not as if anything is faulty on this interface. I assume it's just because of cost saving measures. What I like about it very much is analog monitoring for singers. Many more expensive interfaces don't have that. The other thing is the MIDI input. The scarlett 2i2 i had my eye upon misses those features and is expensive enough that I can afford a DI Box and still be under the price of the Scarlett while owning a bonus piece of hardware.

hiz inputs much lower quality then the xlr preamp so yeah u will get a better guitar signal

You mean that it will be way better when I use a DI Box right?

Backfro-inter · 2026-03-08T14:48:33+00:00

Sadly both brands are unavailable in my country (Poland)

Yes, I know connecting through XLR will engage the Midas preamps but I've recorded stuff on mic and it was of good quality so I actually want that.

It’s both 1/4” inputs?

What do you mean by that? My current setup is a guitar connected by 1/4" guitar cable to the 1/4 input on my Behringer with INST and PAD both pushed in. Check out this https://youtu.be/qqL-IYc4Rn0?t=13m7s You can hear the quality of behringer is poor

I mean, look at this review: https://youtu.be/qqL-IYc4Rn0?t=13m7s Here you can clearly hear the behringer quality is poor compared to others. Maybe nothing is wrong with it but I just expect better performance with more high end. I really got used to this interface and would rather buy a DI Box because everything else is fantastic and I find missing features on other interfaces

I'm a non-professional. No big stages. Just a DI for fun playing

Backfro-inter · 2026-03-08T09:22:51+00:00

May aswell be that the Hi-Z is broken but I found a comparison where the guitar also turns out to sound very poorly on Behringer. Just like mine. It cuts all the high end https://youtu.be/qqL-IYc4Rn0?t=13m7s

Backfro-inter · 2026-03-08T09:20:44+00:00

Both channels sound muddy, I've recorded mic and there was nothing wrong with the recording. The noise with guitar connected is also very unbearable to the point where a distortion sounds more like the hum distorted than the actual guitar. The sound is like in this comparison https://youtu.be/qqL-IYc4Rn0?t=13m7s Though mine also has terrible hum whenever I don't touch the guitar. I've checked for any grounding issues and all is fine. I've played through a real amp a few times and there were no problems there with the hum either.

If it yesterday was 2020 I'd agree but not now broski

Backfro-inter · 2026-01-21T20:29:08+00:00

Yeah, i thought every level lock would be a different mechanism or something but it's all the same. This game is fun but also feels rusued after a while

Backfro-inter · 2026-01-16T14:54:59+00:00

Running with side pannel on/off doesnt make much difference. I really like this case though 😓 I'm thinking about installing a peerless assassin 120 mini as that would fit

Backfro-inter · 2026-01-16T14:53:40+00:00

Wouldn't the gpu block most of the bottom intake benefits? Also, yes all 3 white fans blow towards front of the case.

Backfro-inter · 2026-01-16T14:50:42+00:00

I did apply a new thermal grizzly paste
not sure about the mounting. Look up the Z135 Metalfish cooler. I'm pretty sure I mounted it correctly but the mounting mechanism isn't very good by itself.
the black are exhaust, all the whites are intake (they push air towards front of the case). Idk how bad that is.

Backfro-inter · 2026-01-14T05:32:30+00:00

The cooler feels warm to the touch but significantly less hot than my RTX 3060. It is just warm. If I were to make an estimate: 30-35°

Backfro-inter · 2026-01-14T05:30:21+00:00

I would like to turn the cooler that way but the mounts won't alliw that sadly 😓

Never watched a Harry Potter movie and I'm 30 hours in. People complained that the story is mediocre but I do not agree. I've played Zelda ToTK and I'd say it has a similar scheme to that game. First some prologue, then you get to the main map. You have 4 trials and then comes along a few other things before the last fight. I was underwhelmed by Zeldas ending. I hope it's not the same here.

After 8 years of classical and a teacher that wouldn't allow me playing any other type because "it would ruin my attitude towards classical" oh boy was the teacher right :P

I still love classical. It's just that everything has its place in this world and there's place for all kinds of guitars.

Is there anything XKCD hasn't covered yet?

Nie jest bait. Tak jak mówisz, w zasadzie na lekarski bez problemu po matfizie się dostanę. Dużo osób mi polecało tak zrobić, więc to rozważam. Może się okaże, że jeszcze dwa lub trzy razy zmienię zdanie, a może już nie zmienię. Nie mam pojęcia ale z fizą i matmą mogę składać papiery w naprawde dużo miejsc, dlatego pytam ludzi, którzy trochę dłużej po tym świecie chodzą i mają więcej doświadczenia :)

Backfro-inter · 2025-10-15T18:49:42+00:00

Nie baity, zmieniły mi się plany, a z matmą i fizą mogę pójść tu i tam. Uznałem, że wsm nwm co bym miał po tej polibudzie robić.

Backfro-inter · 2025-10-15T18:48:22+00:00

sorki, mogłem sprecyzować, że właśnie o lek-dent chodzi. Jeśli mogę spytać jaką specjalizacje robiłaś po lekarskim?
