We have 3 DI100's and they've never left us down. But this 120 seems
pretty nifty.

However, for what you're doing, you've got a pair of high impedance
units you're going into, and if you're on a budget, I see no reason to
rule out good old parallel connection. A simple 1/4" Y cable may do
all you want unless the the AValon and the fx unit need a balanced
input. This would be especially true if your bass is active.

Best Regards,

PCP Instrument Distro, only $1050. A little more than a Behringer
direct box, I'm afraid.

You might want to take advantage of the Avalong 737 and split its
output (you can use an simple Y cable at the output level and
impedance) off to "reamp" box which will look like a guitar to an amp
or stomp box. There's the genuine Reamp, and Radial has one, which is
also a buffered splitter, so you could use it to feed the Avalong if
that sounds better to you.
