    Commercial reamp boxes seem rather expensive for what they contain: I'd probably just knock one together myself. But then I have an EE degree and am comfortable using a soldering iron! Actually though, these days I just use software VST plugin amp and cabinet sims for re-amping; there a lot of quite good ones available. I downsized my studio when I moved back to the UK from the US a year or two ago: couldn't really justify shipping a ton of amps etc. Good job on the video: there's a lot of bogus folklore out there about audio engineering, but your tutorials seem consistently accurate and helpful.

    Just a quick add, if you have an interface that lets you rout different signals to different outputs, you do not need to split the signal before the interface with a DI - simply plug the guitar into your interface (given that it has instrument ins, but most nowadays have) and route the Monitoring of it to one specific output of the interface. This output then goes through the reamp box to the amp. This has the advantage that you play with exactly the sound of the input DI signal - ie the sound you will reamp with. At first I was a bit stressed out by how strong the DI signal should be and about dialling in the volume knob of my reamp box, but using this method I can directly control how it will sound later when reamping - because I’m already using the DI signal I will be tracking with later on.

    Thanks for this. Made the reamp much clearer for me. Would it be wrong to split the guitar input to come out to the pedal board and also into the interface (clean) and then a thru to an amp (mic on amp). That way you have 3 sources from the one guitar signal.

    I haven’t noticed one. So long as you adjust the gain structure appropriately, it works very well. If you wanted to experiment with dynamics processing before sending to the amp, you certainly could. But without processing on the track, it should theoretically be the same as an instrument connected directly.

The equipment I have is: - A Marshall DSL40 amp tube combo. - A MacBook Pro with Amplitube 5 and Guitar Rig 7. - A Universal Audio Arrow audio interface. - A Behringer midi foot controller FBC1010. So... can I connect the mono output from my audio interface directly to my Marshall input? Do I need a reamp box or a similar device and what would be the configuration? I would appreciate your help . Thank you in advance.

I have my guitar routed as, guitar - pedal - focusrite - pc - DAW. I inserted a backing track which worked perfectly but as soon as i select the track instrument i want to use (electric guitar) there are none available. I tried using the ASIO4All driver and it did work, with an exception. Static noises everywhere except the backing track (mp3). Im very confused about this whole situation, additional insights will be appreciated thanks!

What’s the difference between recording from the DI box, directly from the audio interface (from the guitar), or recording from the reamp box ? I have a focus rite 2i2, the j48, the radial reamp box, a suhr reactive load, and Marshall jcm 2000. I’ve recorded directly from the Scarlett and suhr, and used the reamp in the chain and I can’t tell the difference really. Is there a difference?

    I work that way you teach here. Just like your DAW, Cubase allows using external inserts too, what is very cool when I want to use my own pedals over an already recorded track. But until today I haven’t tried using a send to an FX track, inserting my external effects in this FX track. I am not sure I will be able to print that, because Cubase doesn’t generate audio files over FX or group tracks. I guess in this case I should use a duplicated track and insert the external pedals in the duplicated one, and later balance the mix between dry and wet.

    You can do this with some passive DI boxes. However, it’s designed to take a signal from instrument level to mic level. In this case you’ll be going from line level to instrument level, so you’ll need to tweak the gain structure accordingly. It’s best to use a reamp box.

I have an audient id44 mkii interface and running sends and returns on it are not easy to do because of gain staging i have to do. Some pedals work and others are really hard to dial is without serious feedback issues. All my pedals take line level but i still have issues with say my chase bliss pedals and have to dial down the gain way down on 1/2 and 3/4 in abletons external audio effect utility and it doesn’t always fix this issue. My main question is will this the radial stereo reamp box help to fix this? I may suck it up and swap out interfaces for and rme ucx because i also think the problems may be arising from the audient.
