Sidekick Passive DI Box

Precision and Clarity - The Sidekick Passive DI Box

The Sidekick Passive DI Box by Hosa Technology makes it easy to connect your guitar, bass, or keyboard directly to a mixing console! It features an isolation transformer that transforms an instrument-level signal to a line-level signal. It works with each of the following, Electric guitars, basses, and keyboards, Pedal effects and effects processors and Any electronic musical instrument with a mono phone output.

Use the Sidekick to “go direct” for a pure, clean, noise-free tone that is perfect for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) or throw the INST/LINE switch to LINE position to allow your amp to drive the line for a natural, overdriven tone. Either way, it’s your sound—all of it!
