![]() That’s not to say you can’t get the signal flow happening with a passive DI and an adequate amount of attenuation. These are important characteristics of inductive systems. ![]() The same cannot be said of a typical passive direct box. The purpose-built re-amping devices (most of which are derivative of John Cuniberti’s early 1990’s design) have the distinct advantage of being designed to operate in the amplitude and impedance ranges typically found in +4dBu pro audio and the instrument amplifier world. A purpose built adapter, like the ones made by the company called Reamp, or Radial Engineering or.The biggest factor in managing the gain staging of your re-amping signal chain is your choice of adapter. Gain StagingĪs pictured above, the re-amp process requires us to adapt the balanced, relatively low impedance output from our DAW to the unbalanced, high impedance input of the amp or pedal(s) in question. Here are some ideas about how to get the most out of the re-amping process. In any case, if the goal of the process is amp-related, you can be sure it is also more or less distortion-related. Other popular uses include adding some grit to a direct bass track, rescuing underwhelming keyboard sounds, or using your favorite stomp boxes as outboard processing. During mixing the direct guitar track (sans faux amp) will be re-recorded through an actual amp. An electric guitar can be recorded direct while monitoring a software amp simulator. Instrument amplifiers and stomp boxes offer virtually limitless opportunities to create the right sound with a not-so-virtual interface.Direct recording is an ideal way to reserve tonal flexibility for mixing (especially useful in the DIY world).The technique’s obvious advantages are numerous: I have an impedance matching transformer going from low Z(600ohms) to high Z(30kohms).Still not the 1Mohms guitars love but was wondering if it can be of any use.along with careful level treatment.Re-amping is a technique that gained a lot of popularity in the last 15 years. If it's not quite getting you to where you want to go, then try a reamp box and see what that does for you.I actually stand by what you say.But thing is, it's not just sound i worry about.I've heard people saying they have fried their amps/stompboxes because of level/impedance mismatches.Others saying there's no danger whatsoever.I'm confused because of my lack of experience.I can get by with a fried stomp but an amp that doesn't belong to me.that's another story. Experiment with different setups and see if it works for you. So my advice would be to just use what you got. I'm sure it would be quicker to get a good guitar sound with a reamp box, but I've got other places to spend my money on at the moment. ![]() I don't worry about the input impedance on my guitar amps, because I can make a pretty good guitar sound with the equipment that I have. I'm also not a big M/S fan, but others are. ![]() For instance, I'd don't like Recorderman setups or ribbon mics for overheads, yet people rave about them all the time. There are lots of things I've tried over the years that are supposed to sound great. Definitely worry about it with speakers and such! Don't worry about impedances unless you have a problem that impedance may address.
