Of course you can DIY, but the Countryman is a professional tool. Its designed to be used on stage, handled by roadies, plugged into the wrong place, etc. There are cheaper DIs for sure. You can literally run over a Countryman with a truck and it will keep working. >> Ditto the cable to your 'green bullet' mic to record blues harmonica. > > The cable has much less effect if you the mic balanced.
