## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i use this as an alternative to the WALRUS CANVAS mono? Can the thru be used as a second input, summing both to the XLR out ?**
A: Yes, this sums the inputs automatically if you use the thru as an input.

**Q: Will this work with a passive bass?**
A: Yes, but I think that you would like the SB-1 Active Direct box better.  Even though it says that it's called SB-1 Acoustic, it works really well for passive bass guitars. http://www.amazon.com/Radial-Engineering-StageBug-SB-1-Acoustic/dp/B00B5LCV2I

**Q: The bass player at our church uses a amp how do I connect this to the bass and our sound system so she doesn’t have to use the amp**
A: 1/4” cord from bass/pedalboard -> DI -> XLR (mic) cable to snake. If it’s a passive bass, you might want to look into the SB-1 active instead of the SB-2 passive.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great synth DI
*by A***R on August 24, 2024*

Sits in my synth rack and solves its ground him issues. I own several other Radial products and the quality of this DI is on par with the rest.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good
*by M***Z on December 19, 2024*

Great size, great work, worth every penny

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT LINE OUT TO P.A. FOR MY EQUIPMENT.
*by R***L on June 23, 2026*

Great line out for my Bass equipment. Works perfectly. Small enough to carry in my Bass case. I really like equipment that works everytime I plug it in and lasts for a long time. Looks to me like the StageBug line out will do that well.
