I've recently started using a Peavey Tour 450 for my reggae gigs where a backline is provided. One of the selling points for me was this.
DIRECT INTERFACE (DI)
This is a built-in, balanced Direct Interface is used to send a buffered, unprocessed signal to an external mixer. NOTE: The Direct Interface features failsafe circuitry, which runs on standard 48-volt phantom power from the mixer. This allows the DI to continue functioning even in the event of a blown circuit breaker or amplifier shutdown. In the event of a failsafe operation, the mute switch will be bypassed. This circuit is active, even when the power switch is in the Off position.
I have not tried it yet but I thought that was a pretty neat bit of security.
Anyway that got me thinking about the F1-x's DI's I use in my rack system. would the F1-x DI output would work if the pre-amp went down?
