Why do you think you might need one?

i dont know, dont understand. But once at live show the sound engineer used it and in the studio was di box used again. a
As I sad i dont understand when di box used so thats reason why i ask here
someone use di box someone no and i dont know what is right -
A DI box can make sense in the studio if you want the chance to reamp the raw guitar later. You don't need one for the kemper - it can do this without extra equipment.
For stage, I don't know why - unless it was also being recorded.

Live:
* eliminating ground loops
* adjusting impedance
* protecting your outputs from being destroyed by phantom powerEspecially the phantom thing is a good reason to allways use it, especially on unbalanced outs of a keyboard. One press on the wrong switch on the mixer, and.......

Oh yeah, definitely... But for electric guitar...?

Many mixers/engineers just use them because they're used to.

I suppose the DI hangs between kemper and FOH? Offcourse, the Kemper manual says the balancee outs can handle phantom and has a lift switch, but your average engineer doesnt know that, and then what mr zambesi says happens...

I would like to know if to do the DI profile. can I use any Di Box from another brand without damaging the amplifier?
-
In that situation I'd trust the engineer, if he got a DI and want to use it I'd say yes but I wont buy one just in case . Maybe I am wrong but there is a kind of DI inside the Kemper ? Correct me if I am wrong

LuizRodrigues you probably won't hurt the Kemper, but you might damage the DI. Be sure the DI you use can handle your guitar amps output, and be sure to loop through to a cab, or your output tranny will go awol...
Also, don't hook your Kemper's speaker out to a DI. Manual advises against it.

You can use most DI boxes but there is a thread alread with a list of boxes that are k own to work well.
