"The Fatboy DI had me slack-jawed on first hearing. The Magic DI is just that - magic. An acoustic guitar sounds like an acoustic instead of the ‘other’ sound we’ve grown used to. The Magic Pre is an amazing piece of gear for passing on exactly what the microphone is putting out."

"In 25 years of working in audio, I’ve used a lot of Direct Boxes; some good, some bad, and some really bad ones. Once I used a Fatboy Tube DI and MagicDI a new standard was set. I personally own them and use them on inputs as frequently as possible."
