I'm new to this stuff and I have no idea what should I get for this purpose... Would something like these ones fit my needs?

Ampeg Scrambler and Zoom R16.
If there is a solution without buying anything it would be better because the DI is not even mine and I don't plan to use it anymore in the future.

The ones you linked are for hooking to the output of a power amplifier. They won't work for this.

You need a balanced line-level attenuator, also called a pad. It's hard to say which value without actually measuring levels with a meter. Maybe start with something like -15 or -20 dB.

Something like these:

There are a bunch of other alternatives. Or DIY something in the end of an XLR cable. You can do it with as few as 3 resistors.

I was thinking more like the ones this guy sells;

and they're a lot cheaper.
