You all KNOW I love my budget guitar gear. But coming from someone who has owned and extensively used both of the Radial equivalents (Radial Pro RMP Reamp Box, and Radial Pro 48 active direct box), I can confidently say that the JOYO JDI-48 more than holds its own against the competition. This is a budget-minded DI box and Reamp Box combo unit, which in my testing seems to perform just as well as much more expensive units.

So if you are someone who works with real guitar amps, tube amps, or guitar pedals/guitar preamps for the purpose of recording guitars: you absolutely should check this out! Likewise, if you want to learn WHAT exactly a DI box or reamp box does, and how to use them!
