anyone build their own DI box?

[dither]

Does anyone have a tried and true schematic for a DI box? I'm thinking of making some stomp boxes and figured this would be a good start.

Thanks

There are all kinds of schematics on the jensen website. i don't have the address but a google search will turn it up quick.

I think I would rather build a cheaper, Active DI instead of a Passive where I have to buy an expensive Transformer.

I haven't made this one, but I've made other stuff from this guy's site and it worked well:

The transformer is both a "blessing and a curse". It offers grounding isolation that is impossible to achieve otherwise, but also results in an input impedance that is FAR too low in some situations.
