They have captured this studio magic and put it into a compact easy-to-use DI that will transform your live sound. Studio Tools for the Stage 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. Relied upon by Coldplay Oasis David Gilmour and MGMT L.R Baggs pick-ups and on-stage DIs have gained a prestigious reputation for producing high quality equipment that effectively captures the body and soul of an acoustic guitar.
