The Korena take

Session DI is a compact direct box and preamp for bringing an acoustic pickup into a live rig with LR Baggs’ studio-inspired sound approach. It is configured for active pickups and provides a preamp gain range from -12dB to +26dB, giving the player control over the input level before the signal continues through the rig. Its straightforward format suits acoustic players who want a dedicated DI/preamp rather than a larger unit.
