Is the DI you have active or passive? If it's active you need to supply phantom power to it to get proper levels out of it. If passive then your channel input gain on the mixer will determine how much signal you get into the board.

It's passive, but the gain needs to be pretty high to get a decent level out of it.Originally Posted by Spudman

Try another device into the DI and see what level of signal you get then. It might be that your guitar/pedal combo doesn't have enough output - or -the DI is bad.

After some reading on impedance, I think I'm going to read up on the mixer and see if there's a hi Z phone input for that channel, since my theory is that going line level (lo Z) to XLR in (probably lo Z) might be sucking some of the voltage.Originally Posted by Spudman
BUT...I might try some of the troubleshooting mentioned above too. Thanks for the input.
