  • Amazing

    As reviewed by James on 4/19/2010

    I cant put into words how much I love this thing. I play 5 nights a week in the bars and clubs and I've had so many people say how they love the sound of my guitar since I've started using this. The eq on this thing is far superior to the built in tone adjustment on my Yamaha XLL16 and most others I've played. I just wish I would have bought this thing sooner.

  • Best DI I've played through

    As reviewed by Chris Vanoli on 2/5/2013

    I am a worship leader and just started using the Venue after using the LR Baggs Parra DI for the past 5 years and there is a difference. The feature I love the most about the Venue is that you can see (by the LED) when your gain is at the right level. On the Parra DI you had to listen for clipping and pull back a hair. Also you have more control with the EQ, and the preamp in this one just sounds sweeter and more musical. The built in tuner is a bonus and the adjustable boost option is great as I like to finger pick and strum. I set the boost for finger picking and normal for strumming and the sound guy (if you have the luxury) doesn't have to touch a thing. I highly recomend this.

  • Awesome!

    As reviewed by Chris on 3/19/2010

    Having used L.R. Baggs pickups, I had high expectations for the Venue DI. I was not disappointed. First, the unit is well-constructed and should hold up well for many years to come. EQ and other controls are well laid out, and the tuner is bright and easy to use. Most importantly, this device makes my guitars sound great! With only a small amount of tinkering, I was able to dial up pefect tone for my Martin 6- and 12-strings. Then there's the issue of feedback. With the notch filter, even the most technologically challenged guitarist can eliminate it in a matter of seconds. The Venue DI would be a steal at twice its price. Thanks, L.R. Baggs!
