Don't do that. You want a box with an instrument input and a line
output. I second Dave's suggestion for an M-Audio AudioBuddy. I have
one and it works great (I've seen them as low as $60US). It's a
small, cheap, two-channel mic-pre with instrument (a.k.a. DI) inputs
and line outputs (balanced, which should still work fine with the SB).
Many single-channel mic pres also have instrument/DI inputs, like
those ART tube units (as low as $30US).
A regular DI with output a low impedance mic level signal, which would
still not give you the output signal you want.
Actually most (all?) DI-boxes I know aren't
the right thing here, because they
convert line-/instrument-signals to mic-level with symmetric (balanced) XLR
connector.
I found a bunch of DI boxes with asymmetrical outputs at a popular
auction site.
Guess I'll get me one of those.
