L.R. BAGGS VENUE
L.R. Baggs introduced a new, feature-laden DI box at last month’s Winter NAMM Show. The Venue ($399) is designed with 100 percent discrete circuitry for the cleanest sound possible and includes a transformer-couple DI for total ground loop elimination. Additional features include a built-in chromatic tuner; a 5-band EQ with tunable low, high, and mid bands; phase inversion; notch filter; precision VU meter for accurate gain adjustment; DC input for use without a battery; and a four-segment battery check gauge. Two foot pedals access a mute function and a volume boost. Watch for a complete review of the L.R. Baggs Venue in an upcoming issue of Acoustic Guitar. lrbaggs.com

Its large floorboard design powers up to six effects processors and includes two audio outputs, including one with direct signal flow. bossus.com
