Now its time to try out other amps & cabs. Once in the AX8 (FXLoop) if you adjust the signal gain into the amp model to match the original: it sounds the same: all the dynamics, edge of breakup, etc. No reason for a reamp box conversion as Line Out to Line In at unity gain is ideal analog signal transfer and is impedance matched.

Do I need a di-box if I have a D.I on my Audient ID44 and can route the signal to reamp-box, pedals and amp so I can record clean signal, reamped through. Being able to match the original track is important to me: because often the tone is right, but the effects need to be adjusted.Īs the DI has the exact same front end conversion as the processed signal, it doesn't need to go in through the guitar input I again. The AX8 requires some AD & DA conversions - but is easy to match so closely, I can’t hear any difference. The AxeFX can do all this entirely in the digital realm, without any AD/DA conversions, so that would be “perfect”.

It also works with DIs generated by other DI boxes. IME: The AX8 works great for reamping, especially if you also use it to generate the DI. Also the transformer or electronic circuity of every reamp box I've ever come across colors the sound. In practice this works - but its not easy to recreate the original tone if you need to, because the impedance loading of the pickups into the front of the amp affects the frequency response, so the DI will sound subtly different than the guitar. Easiest, best sounding reamping I’ve ever done (don't have an AxeFx - yet).įYI: What a reamp box does is take a balanced line level signal and convert it to an unbalanced instrument level low impedance so it can be input into the front of an actual amp.

So, to reamp you send the DAW DI track from the interface Line Out into the IN 2 FX Return (line in) to reamp.

On the AX8: Select Input 1 for output 2 send to record the DI track: use SPDIF preferably, or output 1 for recording processed guitar.Īs the DI has the exact same front end conversion as the processed signal, it doesn't need to go in through the guitar input I again.

Best reamp box 2017 how to#
I'm new to reamping and have very basic knowledge on Reaper so I was hoping someone could give me a very simplified step-by-step of how to set this up. I'm using the Radial reamp box, Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 audio interface with MixControl (could possiblly be something wrong in there?), and Reaper. When I hit record at a lower gain setting and listening back all I hear is the little bit of reverb and no original track along with it. Also when I try to set the gain on the reamp track I get a very bad high pitched feedback noise. Even having all the knobs on the reverb all the way up I get barley any reverb. What is happening is I can hear the reverb but very subtly. On my reamp track I arm it and put record monitoring on. I go to Audio Hardware Output and select Line 3. Then turned the fader all the way down on the original track.Ĥ. I selected "Reamp" and selected prefader. I clicked route on the first original track and clicked add new send. I have the reamp box and cables hookup properly but I don't think I'm setting up Reaper correctly. Just to test it I'm trying to run a Boss reverb pedal onto a clean D.I. I just got a Radial RMP Reamp box and am having trouble getting it to work properly.
