With Toneforge DI Match, you’ll unlock virtually endless tonal options for your guitar & bass tracks at the source - before they ever hit an amp.
About DI Match Technology
DI Match Technology is a proprietary solution that analyzes and manipulates DI signals. It consists of three digital signal processing techniques: Spectral Matching, Level Matching, and Active Pickup Circuit Simulation. These techniques shape the DI sound at the source, allowing users to achieve the desired tone.
Spectral Matching
Capture the frequency curve and sonic imprint of your instrument in seconds with Toneforge DI Match’s spectral matching. As you play your guitar or bass, the software automatically adjusts the curve until it reaches its optimal state.
Once captured, your DI can be matched to any other DI profile captured or imported into Toneforge DI Match. Get started with one of the included DI profiles from industry leading artists, producers, and the JST team, as well as pink & white noise captures for smoothing.
Level Matching
Once you have matched your Spectral Image to taste, the next often overlooked step that can make or break a tone from the start is achieving nominal gain. Nominal gain is when your volume hits that perfect sweet spot of the amp and other components in the tone. This is where Level Matching comes in. Adjust it to taste, or set it to 100% to match the targeted profile DI profile one to one. It is especially handy when matching a DI to something that has "hotter" pickups.
Active Pickup Circuit Simulation
The Active Pickup Circuit Simulator simulates a real active pickup and allows you to add gain to your DI signal, even if your source is passive! Engage the Active Circuit button and explore the rich tones of an active pickup's internal preamp. You can push your limits even more by using the Gain Knob to give your sound an aggressive and dynamic edge.

Guitar balance
This plugin is one of a kind so far hard to ignore, although I haven’t used it a lot yet
I’ve tried the presets and it balanced my guitar tones very nicely , I’ve only scratched the surface of sampling my own guitars in real-time but that is a very interesting. Feature for you to sample your favorite sounding guitars and save it as A preset and then use any decent guitars and pretty much get that sound and bandwidth. This is one to spend some time with , very unique idea to get to great tones and mixes .

A Quality Plugin That Every Guitarist Should Have In Their Arsenal
This plugin is such a massive help for getting the most out of your guitar's DI signal. The presets that come with it all sound great and you are given a lot of options to choose from. Overall, messing around with this plugin has reignited my desire to experiment with tones instead of falling back on ol' reliable. From sparkling cleans, to nasty rhythm tones, this indispensable tool can help you maximise your tone and I cannot recommend it enough!

Another game changer from JST
As often happens, I became aware of this plugin exactly when I needed it. I was mixing a song with a clean guitar solo that sounded like a sitar, and no combination of eq, compression, amp sims, saturation and automation could fix it. Then I bought this and the fix was instant. Sitar became an expensive sounding new guitar. Really amazing. I add this along with the Billy Decker collection on my must-have plugins list if you do a lot of mixing and need great results without a lot of guesswork.

good peice of software
This little plugin is a good piece of software. It is pretty intuitive, and does a very good job of fixing up a shitty DI recording. The other thing that makes it a nice tool is being able to compare YOUR own DI's and see where they stand against these professional DI curves. plus you add the gain match AND the "active pickup" simulation and suddenly you get another realm of DI, re-amping manipulation to enhance your guit-arsenal. ya see what I did there?
