    Great video, to the point with tests, instead of the usual generic description we too often get on other sites!

    Thanks for this video! Pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Would love to see a follow-up on using re-amp devices with different amps (to see how they sit in a mix), for experimental purposes (adding chaotic delay feedback to intros/outros of tracks), or really any other creative ways to use these! Also, beautiful studio -- what a collection, and well-organized!

    I have spent so much on great amps, and the radial stuff always makes it sound its best. My favorite guitar pedal of all time is their switchbone, and it's an A/B/Y box haha

    HIGHLY impressive bit of kit! Not cheap, but a 'relatively cheap' way of adding analogue outboard.

    I would like to know if one microphone is plugged into the main input (left side) if then on the mixer the microphone is going to sound on the left channel only while the stereo efects would sound in full stereo. Or how can I use this device with only one channel input to make it sound stereo outputs? Thanks.

    awesome vid. trickiest part for me is setting up a send/ return in logic.. not having luck w that. does this channel cover this type a thing?

    I have never tried to set up a send-return scenario with Logic. I know it can be done, I have just never tried it. Unfortunately, we don't have any videos on this subject currently.

    Very useful information, thank you for putting this video together. I'm still curious about how a set up with an analog mixer would work. Do you still need, or benefit from, the Reamp box if you are going: Soundcard xlr out to line level in on the mixer, then using the aux sends (line level as well) to send to a stomp box? Any difference with a strymon vs older stomp box? Thank you for your time.

  • @RecordingMag

    @RecordingMag

    11 ай бұрын

    1. Yes, you would still need/benefit from this in your setup as it converts your line-level signals from your aux sends into the proper pedal impedance. 2. Every pedal can react differently, and the EXTC boxes will offer an even greater benefit than a modern Strymon.

    Hey, great video. Does the reamper come before the pedals or after?

  • @RecordingMag

    @RecordingMag

    2 жыл бұрын

    This device is both. The pedals are essentially inserted into the device. The signal comes out of your DAW/Audio interface into the EXTC. The EXTC sends that signal into the pedals. The signal from the pedals goes back into the EXTC and then out from there into your DAW.

    Are you playing back the tracks along with the dry recording , or just the processed track after going thru the radial ?

    I thought about one of these for some of my Strymon pedals, but then I realized they accept line levels up to +8 dBu from the interface. So is there really a need for the Radial? For some of my Boss pedals it would make sense…

    Can this box also be used as a regular DI box, times two? So if I'm recording a bass player and a guitar player at the same time they could share this as a DI box ? * Also, does it become a passive DI box if it's not plugged into AC/ the wall? PLEASE DOESE ANYONE KNOW? I Have Asked On Radial You Tube Advert and No Response? Maybe It''s A Dumb Question? This Box Is A Lot Of $$$

    Do you need to use XLR to go I/O of your interface? I have the mono version and I use TRS to go I/O of my interface but when I send my pre-recorded track out to the Radial, the signal I get back is mushy, clipping, distorted- uglyyyy

    Hmmm, not sure what is up there (maybe contact Radial to trouble shoot). I sent the units back a long time ago, however I did all of my connections to my patchbay which is TT using patch cables.

    If only this device could have been powered by 9 or 12 V - it could have been chained to most quality pedal power supplies... Those power adapters are fucking awful for most rack or studio applications.
