This is Electronic Icing for Your Tone
Have you ever wished your guitar sound just had a little more zing? A little more kick to your electric, or shine to your acoustic tone? If so, listen up. This vintage DI Box is designed to help musicians give their instruments that extra “magic” when plugged straight into a mixer for gigging or recording.
The DI-1000 Is a super-rugged direct box that is handy for countless applications – you can use it for virtually any instrument that you record directly (i.e., via a cable). For us guitarists, they can be especially useful for direct recordings of acoustic guitars. Often, DI’d acoustics sound either flat or fake, especially if you use certain passive piezo pickups. But the DI-1000 can bring new life to these guitars, Since it includes BBE’s famous Sonic Maximizer circuits. Just a tweak of the knob, and suddenly your guitar tone is back from the dead – almost like you put on a new set of strings. Great for musicians who want to use it in their rig, but have no place for a rack piece.
In addition to the Sonic Maximizer benefit, there are pad knob on the unit 0dB, -15dB, -30dB along with an active or passive switch and a sonic maximizer in/out switch.) so you can plug in hotter sources – like the output of an amp head – and bring it down to a line level for recording. Also dial in your tone with sonic max in or out. The DI-1000 also has a Jensen JT-DB-EP transformer to help match impedance levels, in passive mode, or active mode with the Sonic Maximizer.  And while the Maximizer shines the upper frequencies, the Lo Contour knob helps dial in the low-to-mid sounds your ear likes.
In short, the BBE DI-1000 will take whatever instrument you’re trying to record directly (or plug into a mixer at a gig) – guitar, bass, drum machine, etc. – and make it sound better, and all without an amp anywhere in sight. Bigger, louder, cleaner, beefier: that’s the goal of the DI-1000, and it succeeds mightily. Plus, It's built like a tank, so you’ll get years (if not decades) of use out of them. Think of them as Swiss Army knives for your tone – so many uses, and all of them good.
