My knowlege to this tobic is very limited
so while searching the web i found the most cheaper and common solution was the (DI box) unfortunately there are no music stores where I live to try different solutions and see which is best. so I usually rely on online stores. so for now I have two option 1- the ibanez screamer http://www.amazon.com/Ibanez-TS9-Tube-Scre...z+Tube+screamer 2 - the DI box http://www.amazon.com/Whirlwind-IMP2-IMP-2...keywords=di+box so thinking about this money wise i guess the DI box will be my best option. what do you think ? Dipping in to the red is generally fine You have to push it a bit to get software sims to sound good. One easy way around it is to use a hardware boost pedal (Ibanez Tube screamer or clone of such) after your guitar and before your input. It will allow you to drive your signal a bit harder before it goes in so you can use less level and stay out of the red You can use a lot of things to boost your signal a bit. I used to use a direct box with a 20db boost switch. Just something to make things a bit hotter before they reach the preamp But a simple overdrive stomp can do the job and be more portable and probably cheaper and overall easier to deal with. |

You can use any tube screamer clone and be just fine You can get really cheap tube screamer clones on the net. For what you are talking about, I'd say get a clone/cheap tube screamer. It will give you far more options that the direct box you linked to. I didn't see any boost/cut of any kind on the DI box you mentioned.
Here is a used tube screamer mini for under $50 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ibanez-Tube-Scream...=item1a03567205 you can find just about anything on ebay Used gear is often cheaper. You can get a brand new behringer tube screamer clone even cheaper. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Behringer-Vintage-...%3D111725146629 This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jul 30 2015, 06:44 PM |

Two suggestions are the Tremel-No which many people use, or place your palm on the bridge and apply slight pressure when doing double stop bends to hold the bridge in place
