DI-E : Cheap, sturdy and decent sounding.

I bought 2 of these, thinking that If they're completely horrible I could use the housing for some other projects and the chips for parts.

The build quality if great, I transported them in the bottom of a bag with a bunch ()4 of stands standing on top of them (don't ask me why, bad planning) and they barely got scratched. The inputs feel good as well as the switches.

The sound had been varying for me, sometimes I get a noise using the boxes, and sometimes not, this doesn't change with ground lift, and since it's a analog/passive box I don't know why this happens randomly. It MIGHT very well have been something else in the chain, but I'm not sure.

When I record without getting the strange noise they sound pretty decent, a steal for 9 euros.
