#Build a reamp box full#
I really wouldn’t say either way whether the re-amped or direct sound was better or not, and I think that in a full band context you would never be able to hear the difference. Looking at the wave-forms from RME’s DigiCheck program it confirms what I think I am hearing. The band that seems affected to me is so narrow for both that it really just feels like two notes or two frequencies are barely different. To my hears there is the slightest of differences in the low mid and highs of the re-amp take. Then I could play the DI signal back out of my interface through the Re-amp box and into the same amplifier with the same settings, mic placement, everything. I then mic-ed the amp with a Shure Sm57 and recorded both the DI signal and microphone into Cubase. The thru output I sent to my amplifier, a vintage mysterious Fender blackface clone that I restored and built an enclosure for. 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.
You can also create a lid for the box to store heavy items in the lower compartments while keeping lighter items on top. It’s similar to the Ikea table idea, but the box can be much more significant. 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. This is an excellent option to build a large Dreambox for all your arts and crafts items.
#Build a reamp box pro#
I've even dropped the level of the send in Pro Tools way down to see if that might have been the issue.Īll my DI tracks recorded with a DI and a preamp (not the onboard ones in the 002).Īny help would be greatly appreciated.A Re-amp box is a useful and indispensable piece of equipment to have when recording electric guitars.
I've triple checked my outputs, I only have 1 track going out to the amp and I have it solo'ed so that my mic doesn't pick up my montiors playing it back. If I yank the cable from the 002, the amp is silent. The humming is noticeable when there isn't even a track playing. Both of my amps (Marshall SL5, Marshall JCM800). So the output is working, but there is a ton of noise. It's even noticeable when the guitar track is playing. No matter which output I use on the 002, I'm getting a terrible hum. The cable coming from the 002 to the reamp is a balanced TRS to Male XLR and then I'm using high quality guitar cables (mogami) to the pedalboard and/or amp. I am coming out of the 002 output into my reamp box (real reamp box with ground lift and volume knob to adjust how hot the signal is, not a DI used backwards) into my pedalboard and then into my amp. I have a 002 and I'm wanting to use my reamp box to reamp guitar tracks. I've searched and searched for an answer to my problem.
