Can someone tell me what a Direct Box is? Is it like a pre amp?

I believe it acts as a preamp in boosting the signal. I know it allows you to connect unbalanced line to a balanced input.
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:

That's all a DI box does, it converts an unbalanced, high impedance signal into a balanced, low impedance signal. It doesn't boost the signal.
