I played through one of these http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid ... id/307160/
at my last gig and it made my guitar sound so much better. I think Im gonna buy one soon, anyone else have one or something like it?

yeah, I tried that out once, very good even with shitty guitars. I recently plugged my Larrivee with B-Band through it and wow.....yeah, I'd go for it if you can fork out the money, its a sweet deal. i want one...

what does a di box do?

A direct out/in(DI) changes your guitar signal from a 1/4 inch plug to a Large 3 prong mic plug. Its helpful in that it boosts your signal before it goes to the board and maintains your guitars clarity if you have a long cord. They are about $50, but you dont really need one unless you do alot of gigging. I mainly want this for the preamp, phase reversal, and a really nice EQ(i dont have an EQ with my pickup..so)

for the record the "large tree-prong plug" is calle XLR

and i use the sansamp acoustic DI which is similar and I love it. it adds a nice warm tone to my guitar

I've heard great things about the Acoustic Xciter or whatever it is. I'm poor though.
