I plugged the guitar into a Samson MDA1 direct box. I went through two iterations of testing and I think that the second test was about as scientific as I could be. I am much more interested in how this re-amp box compares to the original setup. Now it might be tempting to want to compare this re-amp box to others but I really don’t see the value in that. But 17 minutes is something that I am willing to give up for the cheaper price of this unit. Some DIY projects trade dollars for hours of time that you could have spent recording or playing music. The build was fairly straight forward and only took me 17 minutes to put together. If you are interested in picking up the same re-amp box you can get it here: This article and video are not sponsored or affiliated with DIYRE in anyway. There are many options for re-amp boxes in many different price ranges, but for only $50 I figured that giving the L2A passive re-amping box by DIYRE was worth a shot. The more attention you can give to each step of recording the better each step will be. Then afterwards I can put on my recording engineer hat and play back the recorded take, focusing solely on setting up the amplifier and microphones. Now I can plug my guitar through a DI straight into a computer, dial up some tone that is close and focus on getting the best recording possible. I find that if I have less to worry about then I can focus as much energy on my guitar playing and my recordings and performances turn out better in the end.Ĭue the re-amp box. You have to keep track of amplifier settings, microphone placement, mic gain, cuing up the song you are playing along with, that’s not even mentioning actually trying to get a good recording take. That means that you are responsible for every role in the recording process.
If you are like me then you often times are recording alone. I think that the assumption is that they allow to to have clean backups of your guitar recording, or allow you more options, or make edits of guitar parts easier to make your playing better, but they have a different value and much better purpose to me. I don't actually record THAT much, but I am doing quite a bit more lately and hopefully I can include the OX in my takes as well.A Re-amp box is a useful and indispensable piece of equipment to have when recording electric guitars.
I'll research the name of the unit the guy mentioned, of course I don't want to spend a ton. Then that same piece of gear allows him to reamp the signal from the audio interface and does the stuff mentioned in the thread - correct impedance, etc. On an OX thread someone mentioned a Radial stuff that has multiple ins/outs so I guess he always lays down a dry track (bypassing the OX) while monitoring through the OX. If so and I think my workflow will benefit from reamping options "out of the box" (I can easily reamp with my HX Stomp now or of course use plugins without leaving the digital domain) I'll consider extra gear. I also have the OX arriving today so I'm going to be working with that all of next week to see if it is a good fit. Thanks guys, I have a one off request from a TGP'er to reamp his provided DI tracks with my amp/cab/DI out so I'm not going to invest in anything else just yet.
