Default Looking for optimal way to DI guitar via Emu 1212m

Hobbyist. Currently going through a 90s Boss GT3 into my Emu 1212m. It works but I need to use a limiter in Patchmix, and I think I've overloaded the GT3 a couple of times, as I've heard some nasty distortion here and there. I'm thinking a DI box might be simpler and therefore better.

Concerns with the GT3:
possible coloration of tone. Might be overworrying
extra gain stages and settings in the GT3

Concerns with a DI box
can spend anywhere from $20 to $200
might not be necessary or do anything differently, so any price is money wasted

I could go buy a $20 Behringer, but maybe a cheap box wouldn't be any better? I dunno. Sorry about the lack of clarity. I'm not sure what I want it to do, so I'm not sure if I want it.

What does a DI box do well? What doesn't it do?
