Looking to put together a kit so I can start doing live-sound for a local dance (normally two or three musicians and one vocalist, occasional larger bands that it would be good to be equipped to do, but isn't strictly necessary up front), they pay $100 for each 2 hour session so I can do partial grocery money if I start doing it once a month or so after I pay off equipment investment. Who has recommendations for off-brand DI boxes or inline pre's that are actually good (personal experience only please, I've already looked to see what the rest of the internet says)? The obvious choices are the Radial Engineering ProDI or the FetHead/Cloudlifter/McBoost but those are way outside my price range new or used, so I'm hoping I can find something that's 90% as good for half the price (or a really good deal used maybe?). I'll be trying to find used stuff, but I'm using new pricing to compare. Alternative suggestions for other gear welcome too: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/wishlist.jsp/#/24599035/ #AskFedi #LiveAudio
