StageBug SB-1

Compact Active DI

The StageBug SB-1 is an ultra-compact active direct box designed for acoustic instruments and passive bass. It's built for plug-and-play ease of use and portability, fitting conveniently into a guitar case.

The design features a standard ¼" instrument input with a thru-put, allowing you to feed your tuner or on-stage amplifier. The ultra-quiet active circuit immediately converts the high-impedance instrument signal to a low-impedance, balanced signal, significantly reducing susceptibility to noise over long cable runs to the PA system. The SB-1 is powered by 48V phantom power from the mixer, eliminating the need for batteries or an external power supply. Simply plug in, and you're ready to go!

Applications

Acoustic guitar live: The StageBug SB-1 is plug & play easy to use. Connect and it automatically converts your Hi-z instrument signal to lo-Z and balances it for long runs.

Recording bass direct: Record your bass direct using the StageBug SB-1. This improves the tone and reduces noise by properly matching the impedance of the instrument.

Adding an amp or tuner: Use the SB1 thru output to feed your on-stage amplifier. For fun, add pedals after the SB-1 to color your tone on-stage while leaving the PA signal clean.
