[Harp-L] Re: Line out question



I asked Gary when I bought my Avenger since my first gig using it was outdoors and I needed to know if a direct box was required.
Gary recommends using a direct box for the line out on all SJ amps that have a line out to the pa.


I found it best to use a passive box rather then active. I own both. An active box uses a battery and depending on the wiring of the venue
is prone to picking up radio signals. I couldn't use it at one bar I played because it picked up a local radio station loud and clear. I had to switch over to a passive box
which I later mounted to the inside bottom of my amp. It's there when needed.


The boxes are easy to unscrew and there isn't much inside. I drilled a hole through mine and mounted it to a low watt amp I was using at the time. I don't want to drill holes in the
Avenger cab so I mounted the box with heavy duty velcro. IT's wise to buy your own direct box and perhaps a good quality 50 ft. mic cable if the sound man doesn't have a "snake."

Rolls makes an inexpensive passive DI called the "Matchbox" that's
very small (easy to carry around) and works very well.
