To The Max

The Thru jack on the MD1 Pro lets you take the signal from the input and send it to an amplifier or monitoring system without sacrificing the original audio, eliminating the need to mic up a guitar cabinet - a method that may be preferable in certain scenarios, especially with musicians who use in-ear monitoring systems.

Clean, Clear Signal

Featuring Samson's proprietary STLX Mu-Metal shielded transformer, the MD1 Pro boasts an extended, balanced frequency response with ultra-low distortion and outstanding resistance to hum and RF interference. The MD1 Pro's balanced output delivers a clean signal that is far less susceptible to noise than unbalanced connections, enabling longer cable runs. This DI box also features a 3-way attenuation switch (0db/-15dB/-30dB) for switching between line and speaker level signals.

Roadworthy Construction

Built to withstand the rigors of even the most brutal of live touring environments, the MD1 Pro employs an incredibly rugged 14-guage steel housing, protecting the internal connections, switches and solder joints from damage and failure, ensuring a quiet and reliable performance for years to come.
