No issues and cheap!

I have been using these for 6 months now. They have held up really well! We've had no issues with them at all.

Great product!

Great product at a a great price. All metal construction but they are still small and light.

It DI's

If you don't need anything fancy...its your workhorse! Didn't add any noise and did the job.

Great for a beginner

Marc M. was great at giving me a primer for selecting a DI box. I agree with his assessment, about quality but choose his second recommendation based on cost. It is still made of quality material and works wonderfully for my beginning daughter and son. Another guitarist (local bands) liked the quality and cost. So I would recommend this for a beginner/novice. Nice construction, and good connectivity.
Music background: Simple DJ, and a house hold of aspiring musicians

STILL STANDIN'

I've used my EDB1 for over 10 years and it's still standin' up to what it needs to do. I'm surprised at the low ratings from some on this page but, as with anything, if you don't take care of it, it won't take care of you.
