zZounds Gear Experts Say...
No ordinary direct box, the UltraSound DI Plus has an exceptional preamp with input and output gain, sweepable notch filter, Shape switch and 2-band EQ.

The UltraSound DI Plus is a very powerful tool for any musician. This is not only a DI but a full featured preamp designed after UltraSound's famous AG-series amps. Whether at a local open mic night or at a major concert venue, you will be able to dial in the clear natural acoustic sound that their amplifiers are known for, and route it to the stage PA through a balanced XLR output. Sound engineers will appreciate the versatile controls and the optional 48-volt phantom power operation. Therefore, no more wall warts or batteries if your mixer has phantom power. (Originally called Ultra PDI.)

"Simply the Best for Less $$$$"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Even though I have an AG-30, from which this circuit was taken, I am ordering the DI to have the tone control/shaping ability that fits in my guitar case. However, the AG-30 is a great deal. For $70 more than the DI, it has the DI plus an amp and speaker that work great in their own right and can serve as a stage monitor if you're connecting to a PA.
Sound
Actually, I have the AG-30 amp which includes this DI. If you check out the Ultrasound site, they describe the DI as an AG-30 without the amp and speaker. If you run K&K pickups the 1Meg Ohm input of this DI is a perfect fit.
Features
XLR out, Line out, guitar out (for a tuner), EFX loop, phantom power capable, it's got it all.
Ease of Use
Very easy and intuitive to use. The shape control takes some experimenting but overall it is simple to use.
Quality
Heavy steel case. Looks great. Should last forever.
Value
No Preamp - DI comes close to this price point for the features...
Manufacturer Support
I have emailed Ultrasound at least a dozen times and they are always responsive and detailed in their answers.
The Wow Factor
It really is a God-send to acoustic guitarists who employ K&K pickups. Of course it works with any piezo pickup and the shape control helps sqaush the quack of UST pickups.
