Description
For acoustic performers who need a clean, controllable signal reaching front-of-house, the L.R. Baggs Venue DI consolidates the job of three separate stompboxes into a single, roadworthy unit. It’s built around a transformer-coupled DI circuit that keeps your instrument’s signal isolated and free of hum or ground-loop noise as it travels to the mixing console, whether you’re plugging into a small club system or a full-size PA.
Feedback control is where this preamp earns its keep on stage. The Garrett Null notch filter, sweepable from 60Hz to 320Hz, lets you dial out the specific resonant frequency that howls before it becomes a problem, while phase inversion gives you another tool to tame stage monitors and floor wedges. A 5-band EQ with tunable low-mid and high-mid bands lets you shape tone to match the room’s coverage and the instrument’s natural voice, rather than fighting a fixed curve.
Practical touches make it a soundcheck favorite: a built-in chromatic tuner with footswitch mute function, an adjustable volume boost pedal for solos or dynamic passages, a clip meter for setting gain visually, and a 4-segment battery gauge so you’re never caught off guard mid-set. Adjustable gain accommodates both passive and active pickups, and the series FX loop opens the door to adding external effects without disrupting the signal path.
- XLR and 1/4″ outputs for direct-to-console or amp routing
- Runs on 9V battery or DC adapter (not included)
- Includes carrying case
- Assembled in the USA with full quality control testing
Compact at 7.625″ x 7.5″ x 1.5″ and just 2.2 lbs, it’s an easy add to any acoustic rig that needs pro-level flexibility without a pedalboard’s worth of gear.
