DI with a Power Station?

SunDevilSunDevil Frets: 511
My Power Station v1 doesn’t have a line out on it and I’d like to take a DI feed from my amp tone - currently looking at a Radial JDX in parallel to miccing the amp (and for laying down rough tracks at low volume)

Will the DI and Power Station play well together (and not risk the amp!) and if so, would the DI sit between the amp and Power a Station?


The answer was never 42 - it's 1/137 (..ish)

    No, You want the signal across the speaker terminals but this will still be too high a level for recording (AI? )

    You need a passive DI that also has input attenuation. Behringer make one that can accept up to the equivalent voltage to 3kW IIRC!

    I have a Power Station v1 and it definitely has a line out.

    Although, if it's the same as the PS-2, it doesn't include the fx loop, iirc...if that's relevant here.

    Thanks Gents - yep, the difference between the V1 & V2 in this regard is the addition of an XLR out on the V2

    No cab emulation though ASAIK? ..does that make much difference?

    No cab emulation...yep...big difference...any output from the PS is the raw amp sound which needs the filtering that a cab provides. I run mine into a Suhr ACE. I’ve also run it through an emulator in my DAW which sounded okay. Or you can get into the world of impulse responses.
