Behringer ADI21 V-Tone Acoustic Driver DI Pedal

Description

By their very nature, piezo pickups tend to be very bright, with somewhat reduced bass response and warmth. The ADI21 combines the features of an active DI (direct injection) box with Behringer’s proprietary microphone/tube emulation. If you don’t want to use the emulation feature, the ADI21 also functions as a superb active DI box. The Blend control allows you to mix the amount of modeled tone with your instrument’s normal output. The resulting sound is more natural with smooth saturation.

Armed with an onboard 3-band EQ, with sweepable mids to keep feedback under control, the ADI21 effectively eliminates the harsh harmonics of piezo pickups. The output is laid out on 1/4″ TS or balanced gold-plated XLR connectors, which can be used to send a low-impedance signal to the mixing console or straight to tape. You also get a ground lift switch to eliminate annoying ground loop hum problems. You can power this little lifesaver with a 9 V battery or our PSU-SB DC power supply (not included).

Microphone/tube emulation delivers excellent, natural sound

Sometimes piezo pickups sound artificial and overly bright. By combining the features of an active DI with proprietary microphone/tube emulation circuitry, the Behringer V-Tone ADI21 acoustic amp modeler restores warmth and low-end response to your tone, resulting in a rich, natural sound. You can also use the ADI21’s blend control to mix the amount of modeled tone with your instrument’s normal output, granting you enormous tonal versatility.

Onboard EQ shapes your tone and conquers feedback

By using the V-Tone ADI21’s onboard 3-band EQ, you can effectively eliminate the harsh harmonics of piezo pickups. The EQ’s sweepable mids grant you even more tone-sculpting power. You can also adjust the ADI21’s EQ in order to reduce the inevitable feedback that occurs when you amplify an acoustic guitar onstage. Complete with a ground lift switch, the ADI21 is an onstage lifesaver!
