Default LR Baggs Element system >>> Para DI

Anyone using one of these on their guitar?
I've got a 2 year old Gibson with one installed and was going to purchase the Para DI and see how it works with the Element.
I've pretty much put K&K's pure mini in every thing else but the Element seems to work pretty good in the J50 for whatever reason.
I've heard a few good things about the Para DI - so I may give it a Try.
Anyone using the Para DI?

Yeah, I have one ... and a Breedlove OM with the Baggs Element VTC in it. They work fine together. The ParaDI works fine with most passive or active pickups. However, I didn't like the ParaDI and the K&K PWM together at all, and ended up buying a K&K Pure preamp for those two guitars.

Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear it works pretty well.

I recommend a Fishman Pro EQ Platinum over the Baggs Para DI. I've used both alot, and prefer the features and tone the Fishman offers.

Default Spectrum

You may even jump at trying an Aura Spectrum..It plays nicely with the Element. If the Aura's technology not your thing..I'd +1 on the Fishman Pre however, that Red-Eye sure is getting a lot of love on this forum right now. I'd like to check one out myself.
