A good (tube) DI ... will work too.
I've been very happy with DI thru my Alembic F2-B.
Mr. Barr had a B-15 in his GFS section months ago that I resisted with every fiber in my being. I was so very tempted by it (fair price, local pickup). There's so much other recording stuff I need/want more, though, and because I've been able to get good consistent results with the Alembic, I'm fine with that for now.
