L.R. Baggs Session DI

Acoustic guitar preamp/DI with saturation and compression EQ. Analog saturation: Often used by studio engineers in post-production, saturation adds warmth, dimension, and pleasing harmonics while smoothing the signal for an enhanced mix. The Session DI’s proprietary saturation is voiced specifically for the acoustic guitar and transports studio analog warmth and inspiring playability to the stage. Compression EQ: Unlike standard compression that can squash the entire range of your signal, the Session DI’s Comp EQ features 3 narrowly focused bands of compression that tame common problematic frequencies and uncover the voice of your guitar. The low, mid, and high frequency compressors are essentially “touch-sensitive” EQs that respond in real-time to your dynamics. The harder you strum, the more they compress and vice versa. Garret null notch filter tames resonate feedback. Variable high-pass filter attenuates extraneous low frequencies. VU meter visually optimizes gain for passive and active pickups. Ground lift switch effectively eliminates ground-loop noise. All discrete signal path with XLR and quarter inch outputs. 48V phantom power, 9V battery or 9V DC powering options. Rugged enclosure constructed of aluminum, steel and ABS plastic. Mute footswitch for 6,3 mm jack and XLR outs. Includes custom LR Baggs carrying case.
