That gives me the ability to insert a Unison amp sim. One of the splits is a true analog bypass, which leaves the signal from my guitar's magnetic pickups unaffected. When I track my guitar, I output my guitar's signal into a radial JDV MK3 DI. A bonus is that it works well for re-amping with Unison plugins (amp sims, pedal sims, Korg SDD-3000, Distressor, etc.), too. It works perfectly for Hi Z hardware pedals.
Until UA adds these features, I use a Radial X-Amp. Think of this as a global Re-Mic mode, with any Unison plugin. This would also allow you to use an EQ and gate from one Unison plugin, and add a different Unison channel strip's compressor on the second channel. With Hi-Z, anyone could easily re-amp guitars with Unison plugins.Īnd with a Mic level output, you could put the Townsend or Ocean Way mic plugins on a track and then loop back into another mic input to put a Unison channel strip after the mic modeling plugin. I wish there was a Hi Z output and a Mic level output. cue Jimmy Page's use of the Echoplex's preamp before the actual amp )Ĭlick to expand.I agree with kennyg75. (this isn't to say that sometimes that distortion and noise isn't kind of cool and 'extra', hell you could even come up with a nice signature sound that people would be trying to figure out for years by fiddling around with the level staging before the effect.
Distortion and noise with line level direct signal clean and clear after inserting a reamp box. I've also had this issue with the Strymon "Big Sky" and their "El Capistan". Going through a Reamp box solves the issue flat out, and it sounds like it should from the beginning. Catalinbread states that they have plenty of headroom and can handle straight out line-level, but that's ONLY TRUE if you access the inside 'preamp' and dial the gain back to its lowest level, and you'll still have some distortion/noise. One example that I can think of right off the top of my head is the Catalinbread Echorec. You will need to attenuate the signal after the DI though, since it is too loud to go directly to the amp, and turning down the output digitally will introduce alot of noise.Click to expand.While that is true, mostly, I have always - always - always found that the noise floor is much better when you use a ReAmp box to go to outboard effects like pedals or tape delays / space echoes. The DI box is very simple - it only contains a transformer, a switch and the connectors - these components doesn't care at all about the "direction" of the signal: Audio Interface -> DI Out, DI In -> Amp).
DI400P) or a Millenium DI-E and use it in reverse (i.e. If you find the Radial devices too pricey there is a cheap alternative - get a passive Behringer DI (e.g. this one:Īlternative Reamping using a passive DI in reverse However if you are reamping out through real amps you will need a reamp box ("reverse DI") and possibly also a volume pedal if your reamp box does not have an attenuation pot. Put on a heavy distortion plugin temporarily and move around listening for the best location and angle and mark that spot.Īdditional info if you are reamping yourself VERY IMPORTANT: test the best location for the guitar - there are many electric noise sources (CRT screens, laptops, lights, cell phones, power supplies etc) that will get picked up by the guitar.Use a high quality cable and don't place it on noisy things like power supplies.Make sure your guitar is turned all the way up.What is extremely important is these points Recording straight into the interface will not introduce additional noise - on the contrary you make the signal path shorter (and the introduction of a balanced additional path span will definitely not remove noise from the initial unbalanced part from guitar to DI). Pickups and will deliver the true sound of the instrument withoutīut this is really just a general advice - using a DI will work regardless of wether your audio interface has a Hi-Z / Instrument input or not - a device with a Hi-Z input doesn't "load down" the pickups. This active DI is ideal for Reamping as it will not load down the Start by recording with the industry standard Radial J48 direct box. Radial, one of the reamping pioneers, does recommend using a DI for tracking though: I am doing similar jobs for clients and here is my advice on how you should do it.Īs long as your audio interface has a Hi-Z or Instrument input you're good. You should really ask the studio how they want it done.
