Judging by the amount of great feedback I receive for this video you guys seems to like it a lot but, for some reason, it goes almost unnoticed for the infamous "algorithm" of RUclips. So if you liked it and want to help me, please share it with your musicians friends, on social media, Reddit, etc. and show RUclips that it's worth reccommending. Thanks A LOT!!
Thank you for the fantastic video! I am a complete noob but perhaps the algorithm likes the human voice for tutorials?!?! But ... just guessing!
@@nitromeda Yes.
The sub-titles are great for the foreigners (like me), but with a voice, the results (and the views) will be better.
I actually think youtube is not recommending it because there is no talking. Screws up the algorhytm.
Great Video, did not know you could do that with a simple boss pedal!
Apparently you are one of a few people left in the music community that really understands how a unity gain buffer actually works. Well done!
I watch a lot of home recording vids and this has never come up. Great content and excellent delivery. Many thanks.
Glad you liked it!
I was thinking I would have to get a reamp box until I saw this thank you so much
I'm glad you found it useful!
I was getting ready to buy a $250 reamp pedal. While researching, I came across your video and realizing I had a GE-7 sitting in a box thought i would try it. It worked perfectly! Also,. I used it in the "on" position and A/B'd my original signal and used the EQ to match my Les Paul exactly as if it was playing into the amp. Using a battery instead of the power supply seemed to give me a little cleaner sound, but maybe that is in my head. When using overdriven/distorted guitars, I leave that original clean guitar in to give the finished sound some definition. Thanks for saving me $$$$!
THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH. I have been toiling over this problem for weeks and i just KNEW that there had to be solution utilizing equipment that i already own. my question is though, why doesn't anyone else seem to know about this? I have tried asking so many experienced people how to solve this problem and they all had literally no idea. I was literally about to buy a new interface and a passive reamp so you just saved me like 350 dollars and i am very grateful for that. now i can use outboard effects in real time with my production while monitoring simultaneously and i can't tell you how excited I am to get started.
Is totally awesome to hear that! Helping people get the most out of their gear and make better recordings is the ultimate goal of the channel, and feels great to know that at least in your case this have happened. Cheers and please share the video with other people who you think can also benefit from it!!!
While I may end up buying a reamp pedal at some point, this video confirmed something major for me... there is a way to get a usable sound without the reamp box... I had done something similar and of course reading all the stuff out there (speaking of rabbit holes) had me questioning my ears. Really appreciate all the hard work... love this down-to-earth kind of thing. Thanks a ton! Just subscribed too.
I think that's exactly the point. This video doesn't means that no one should buy a reamp box again, they are great and the "right" tool for the job, but in a home studio environment, to see if all the reamp thing fits your workflow or just to "try before buy" this can be really useful, specially for people with tight budgets. Thanks a lot for the subscription! I really apreciate it and helps the channel a lot! Cheers
@@InspiringTracks Quick follow-up... I did a version of what's in your video except instead of using a Boss pedal (I will try that soon) I used the cheapest DI box on the internet (which has a -40db attenuator) and I actually have extra outputs on my Behringer interface so instead of headphone jack, I just used one of those... amazed at results... I am not a how to guy, but I may have to make a video for guys like me... no need to buy a reamp box I don't think... Thanks again!
This works! I had a one take improvised solo on a song recorded through an amp sim, which was perfect. I bought a 9 Euro Y cable and following the instructions took it from the headphone output of my interface to my pedalboard which has a Boss TU2 tuner then to the amp. No significant noise other than normal amp noise. I was unable to monitor through my RME Babyface Pro but the results are still great Thanks so much!
Really awesome to hear that! I´m glad it worked for you!
Wow dude, I always wanted a reamp box but never wanted to spend the money and I just so happened to have that exact Boss EQ pedal. Awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍
You are a legend, man. I'm replacing and modding equipment for bass and guitar and was really not looking forward to trying to A/B test and tweak everything with a guitar or bass in my hand and dealing with a computer, mixer, pedals, and amps and had totally resigned myself to a couple reamp boxes that I might use a couple times a year. This is a way better solution and I won't have to worry about the time or money it takes for used gear that may not work properly and take weeks to get here or new stuff that's gonna gather dust.
clever trick matching the levels. Good job.
Thanks!
That's amazing! I was pretty sure I don't need a special reamp pedal to simply have another bass track.
I will give this method a try with one of my pedals
Great Video man, made my day and saved me 400$ or more for reamp box, was researching about reamping and how you can do it and prices of these boxes ..... So thx again
Beautiful job, excellent playing!
cool I've been doing that for years with great results , great video!
Thanks!! If done right it works great
This is the most important video I'll see this week. Thank you so much.
Great tutorial!! Will this work with any brand of guitar pedals?
Headphone outputs! This is the tutorial I needed. I have only two balanced outputs, but dual stereo headphone outputs.
Awesome! And this is a perfect example of how equipment manufacturers make money from us. Do you need a special reamp box? Yeah, for sure ;) Thank you Juan!
I have a few questions...
1. Is this method still work if the pedal is on... ex.. I want to use Sd1 to boost the front end of my amp...
2. If any pedal with buffer bypass will work?
3. I have a buffer pedal(Tc electronic Bonafide) can I also use that as a reamp box?
Thanks...
The answer to all that is yes, absolutely!
@@InspiringTracks Thanks.... Much Appreciated....👍👍😏😏
Was putting together a homemade reamp box then saw this video and didnt finish it....this is a secret the reamp makers dont want you to know about :-)
This one weird trick has reamp box makers furious!
Yo! You might have just saved me a bunch of money. Gonna try this thanks so much
I think you may have saved me money buying a reamp! thanks 😊 I want to connect my synthesizer straight into guitar fx but because impedance mismatched I believe the boss pedal may resolve the issues?
If it works it works! great vid!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Excellent!! I was experimenting this afternoon with reamping, and was disappointed to find that I’d have to buy a reamp box if I wanted to do it properly - but I DO have a Boss pedal I can try it with, so it’s game on again tomorrow!
Thanks for sharing this tip, and for taking the time to make such a clear video to show it in action. Great stuff.
Thanks! Glad you liked it and hope you found it useful!
Nice work around it works brilliantly😊😊
Thanks!!!
Cool video!
Do you happen to know if every boss pedal has the input/output buffers? I have a turbo overdrive, metal zone, and a eq20 twin. I read in a forum that in some boss pedals the buffers double as some kind of treble booster, in other posts that the buffers are not transparent, that they attenuate your low frequencies, also that there are different impedance buffers.
Any way, bummer since i was looking for using this reamp method precisely to do a comparison between my amp sound with and without the bypassed eq on the signal path. Not a tone freak here (or maybe a bit of a freak but I try not to be a tone snob), but I did think i noticed that with the bypassed boss pedals my amp gets harsher (not in a good way) than with no pedals, the effect I heard seems to coincide with the theoretical effects caused by either a low end loss or I high end boost (as described) so I'd like a clear comparison to rule out the possibility of ear fatigue, but if i need a boss pedal acting like a buffer is kind of a chicken and the egg problem.
Any extra knowledge? Any ideas to go around it?
Thanks
Thanks, glad you liked it! Yes, every Boss pedal AFAIK has a buffer. What you describe usually means that in regular conditions you are loosing some treble due to long cables, too many true bypass pedals, etc. (also known as tone suck) and the buffer gives your signal some extra kick to go trough all that without loosing high frequencies, which usually is the desired effect of using at least one buffer at the beggining and end of your signal chain
@@InspiringTracks Thanks for the quick reply.
Yep, I get it... The usual issue would be, because of a long signal chain, mids and treble will decay, so to compensate for that loss a buffer would need to boost those frequencies somehow, therefore it's a design trait. So... To get it straight, what we want with the buffer in this scenario is only the impedance conditioning right?
Btw, if I followed you correctly, then my ears are not deceiving me, my amp really sounds harsher with a boss pedal in the signal chain, even when off, and that is... Because of the buffer.
I like boss pedals because they're trustworthy and get the job done, but that might also explain the reason I always thought that going into a valve amp they suck a bit of the dynamics, meaning the natural compression of the valves is triggered in a different place (so to speak) than when plugged straight in. I suppose the picking intensity/dynamic response is something you can get used to if you always use a pedal or if you listen to people that uses them but I grew up listening to guys straight into Marshalls. It may also be if you have a long signal chain with just a buffer first, eventually the signal somewhat resets itself.
But maybe it's just my gorilla hands that can't get the eq on the amp to compensate for said harshness.
Thanks again, Cheers
Good stuff, going to try this out soon
Thank you so much for making this! Does this work runing synths and drum machines into fx pedals as well?
This is a good question!
liked and subbed immediately. great video man!
Gald you liked it and thanks for your support!
Great vídeo! Thanks from Brazil
I'm glad you liked it. Saludos desde Argentina!
Great video and enjoyed the song as well!
Thanks! glad you liked it!
Could you make a reamp comparison between BOSS eq pedal and a real reamp box?
Excellent video.
Thanks!!
Bruh.... Thank you!!
I'm glad to help!
Awesome video! very well done, and a great bit of info for us diy'ers
Genius. I wondered how much difference a pedal buffer could manage. Does this work with powered headphone level OR line level outs? I have a Mackie VLZ mixer that I’d like to sneak in the middle before the interface and wanted to know my options for signal impedance going into a buffered pedal. Thanks for this one. Legendary.
Shame the guy never answered.. cos I was wondering the same thing, whether it works with Line level.. instead of headphone output.
Nice video !!! THNX! Just one qustion, Don't you have to deal with some latency? Grtz from Belgium
Thanks! It depends entirely of you PC and audio interface. My DAW reports a latency of 2ms I found it unnoticeable. Since this isn't a realtime application, in case you have some noticeable latency you can always compensate it later by draging the audio as needed. Cheers and hope that helps!
@@InspiringTracks Ok, Seems logic. I'll do that. Thank you for your reply and have a nice weekend!!!
This is a great video I liked to help with the algorithm- I haven't seen any of the production channels teaching this Great job!
🔊I guess in my case, where I like to record an amp in a closet in another room, I would have long guitar cable runs, and that would create noise therefor, with my set up, I would really benefit from using ReAmp box and running an XLR cable, correct?
Extremely well-made and *very* helpful tutorial. I was afraid I would need a "real" (read: expensive) reamp box.
Thank you!
Very clearly explained. Thank you!
I have been taking a look at reamp boxes recently because I want to do analog FX chains on mono sources using guitar pedals (i ll start out using an EQ and a compressor pedal, possibly even a overdrive pedal after) to shape the sound for mixing. If the content of this video is true, then this will be an absolute money saver! Thank you for the ideas!
It totally works, try it! Pay atention to the levels. Setting the right send volume is key to get the amp or pedals working in their sweet spot, specially if you plan to use a compressor. Good luck!
@@InspiringTracks Thanks for the reply! I will keep my volume in mind. Cheers from the Philippines!
Great video! Would be interested to hear a "low gain" example -- wondering if the distortion of the amp is helping to mask some flaws in the buffer of the Boss pedal?
Also would love to see a re-amp shootout between this Boss pedal and a "real" re-amp box like the EXTC from Radial!
Thanks buddy. Very good detailed video. I’m about to try this as I was considering buying more gear that I probably don’t need.
Tried this with a behringer acoustic modeller am100 seems to work ok 👍👍👍
Great Video! For Clarification: It does not have to be a boss Pedal, any Pedal with a build in buffer will do, right? So for example a Daddario Tuner or sth?
This is a very smart and useful video. Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it!
Nice bro!!!! I will try it
That's great! Good luck!!
Nice to finally see the waza mz in the metal...
Awesome video! I guess then that technically you can use any pedal that has a buffered input, not just Boss. I'm going to give this a try with my Polytune 3 noir!
Did it work? 😅
This is very impressive and you know it. Still shopping re amps but you just sold a Boss EQ. (Just picked up Warm Audio DI - incredible.)
Loved the 80s progression!!! If I have another company's pedal that has a buffer like the Boss pedals do, would that works as well?
Thanks, glad you liked it! At least in theory if the pedal has a buffer it should work fine
Creative and resourceful. However, I thought the direct amp recording sounded better than the re amped recording.
Amazing! Thank you!
Minuto 5:26, estaba re enganchado con la explicación y aparece el mate de fondo en el escritorio!! que grande! :) gracias por la data, lo voy a probar!
Jaja no puede faltar! Espero que te resulte de utilidad, yo uso todo el tiempo esta técnica y funciona de lujo. Saludos!!
I have this boss eq so can have the same effect like a DI is a Professional solution thanks!
I think this would work but it can’t be ideal, some interfaces have balance only outputs, also there’s no transformer in a Boss pedal, the transformer steps down the line level signal coming out of the interface and converts it to a high impedance signal that your amp input expects to see. Also the transformer (a good quality one) should eliminate noise and hum. Not saying this won’t work, going straight from the interface to the amp will also work, again it won’t be ideal.
NOt the right tool for the job.
Definitely not ideal, but good enough for demos or just messing around.
The good news is you've still got the clean signal, so you can re-re-amp it later with a proper re-amp box if you ever want a more polished mix.
Imma try to use this as a live track feature. Hook up my Akai EIE Pro with its 4 inputs and use my 3 Boss Pedals to track my 2 guitar players and bass player while they simultaneously listen to themselves playing through the re-amp. This could work!
That's bloody brilliant
Thanks!!
@@InspiringTracks Do you think this would work with any buffered pedal? All my effects pedals are true-bypass (I even modded my crybaby to be TB) but my tuner has an always-on buffer so I'm wondering if that would work too.
Bro this is super useful thank you!
I'm glad you found it useful!!!
Great video - never heard of it :) gonna need to try this for sure :)
Hope you enjoy it!
Nice video! Question: why you just don't use the outputs of your sound card instead of the headphones output?
Thanks! My particular interface only have two line outs at the back, which are used for monitoring. If I want to hear what's going on and send a guitar to the amp at the same time the only option I have is using the HP outs on the front, since they have their own converters they works as totally separate outputs
Thanks a lot! It makes sense. Actually, the way you can adjust the level to simulate the real guitar signal to reamp can be done using the HP option. I tried.
I would have loved to have narration instead of text on this. That said, this is a very helpful video. Thanks!
Gracias..justamente en Chile casi no encuentro reamp ademas de ser caros
Imaginate acá en Argentina, como están las cosas últimamente todo es casi imposible
This is so cool!!! One question, do other brands Buffer pedal work?
I didn't tried other brands but at least in theory as long as it has a buffer it should work
True gem of video! Thank you so much for taking time to make such a fantastic guide! Greetings from Paraguay
Gracias amigo, me alegro que te haya sido de ayuda. Saludos desde Argentina!
Thx for this video. At this point I got lost: 05:26 - You show a bunch of cables and I cant figure out how to connect these things. Could You explain with a diagram like the ones at 01:56? That would be great.
Un mate? Sos argentino? Sos un groso hermano!! Me salvaste de gastar un fangote de guita
Jaja obvio papa, lo que sea por ahorrar un mango!
@@InspiringTracks lo q me reí con el comentario anterior. Te mandaste flor de laburo. Creo q entendí q con cualquier pedal boss se puede hacer todo el proceso. Yo tengo un compresor boss. Q obviamente es mas barato q una caja reamp. Abrazo y gracias.
Mati170 Hola. Usaste el mismo pedal Boss equalizer ge-7 ?. Muchas gracias
Te respondo yo por las dudas, use el GE7 pero igual el pedal estaba en bypass así que podría haber sido cualquier boss y el resultado hubiera sido el mismo
@@InspiringTracks excelente!! Gracias x responder !!
Hi there, thanks for the video!! I was wondering why do you use a Y cable? Could i just use a normal TS or TRS cable? Great video :)
Thanks! I´m glad you liked the video! Used the Y cable because the HP output is stereo. Don't use a mono TR cable since with it you are shorting one of the channels and ground. I don't think you can damage anything but better stay on the safe side. If you dont have an Y cable you can perfectly use a balanced/stereo one (TRS to TRS plugs), the Boss pedal doesn't care
@@InspiringTracks Thanks so much for the response! Legend :)
man oh man this is the bestttt!!!
Thanks!
I have a tascam 242, this technique of using pedal boss as reamp works in tascam portstudio? The tascam have a "send" (out) but dont have a "return"... can i use a boss pedal to reamp the signal for use pedal effects to mixing tracks on tascam? cheers from brasil ! ..and Thankzzz for the video : )
Amazing video!
Thanks!!
Great video man!!! Really want to try this out now! One question for you... does it have to be a Boss pedal? I have an "ARTEC noise gate pedal, would that work? Thanks in advance. 👍🎶
Thanks! I'm not familiar with Artec pedals but if it has a buffer then in theory it should work
@@InspiringTracks thanks for reply, it's a pedal that's been hanging around the home studio here for a few yrs but i think I'll go with a Boss pedal anyways just to give it a fair proper go. 👍
Thanks amigo!, I had the same question as many others in this forum,... why should i have to use a Y cable instead of a TRS to TS cable, or maybe a TRS to TRS cable also?, fortunately, you have already answered this question lines above, I will Try. Saludos desde Perú.
Todas las opciones que mencionas tambien funcionan perfecto, yo use ese tipo de cable porque es lo que tenia a mano. Lo unico que tenes que evitar es usar un cable de guitarra mono TS/TS porque estarias haciendo corto entre tierra y uno de los canales dentro de la salida stereo de auriculares y, si bien es muy dificil que se queme algo, mejor no arriesgarse innecesariamente. Saludos desde Argentina!
I'm going to try this tonight.
The only thing is I don't have a mic but my amp has a headphone out cabsim so I'm going direct instead. Should also work right?
Yes, it should work
@@InspiringTracks Thank you so much. It works! Now I can mix and master using my guitar pedals!
Can you not go out one of the outputs on your audio interface? Does it have to be the stereo headphone output? I have 4 outputs o my audio ibterface. Can I not instead route my guitar audio track out of either out output 3 or 4? So it will be out a mono signal. Or are you going out the headphone output because you have an extra gain stage there that you can control with the headphone output volume?
Of course you can. Indeed if your interface has additional line outputs its preferable to use them. I used the HP outs because on my interface they are the only ones available apart from the main line outputs
@@InspiringTracks ok great. Thanks
funciona excelente mi hermano gracias!
Excelente! Que bueno que te haya resultado de utilidad. Saludos!!
Cool video, very useful considering how expensive reamp boxes can be, but if you wanted to add more pedal effects to your chain, would it just go interface->boss->whatever effects pedal->amp?
Thanks and yes, adding more pedals is possible and works exactly like you described it
whoa ! la verdad salió a Lal luz !
Does this work better than using a DI box in reverse?
Brilliant!
Thanks!!
Alto mate aparece en acción por ahi jajaj. Muy bueno el video, no entendi mucho lo del cable "Y" conectado a la entrada de los auris... pero leyendo los comentarios veo que se puede usar un cable TRS a TRS y conectar la salida de la interface al pedal boss. Es correcto? Saludos desde Santa Fe!
Jaja bien ahi con la atencion al detalle! Uso el cable Y porque la salida de auris es stereo y si usara un cable TS comun de guitarra estaria poniendo en corto uno de los canales con masa, lo cual si bien no creo que le haga nada, con lo que valen las interfaces hoy en dia no esta para arriesgarse a quemar algo. Podes usar tranquilamente un cable stereo TRS o en su defecto usar una de las salidas mono de linea con un cable TS pero esto es medio engorroso porque tenes que andar desenchufando los monitores para hacer el reamp, no podes monitorear, etc. Un abrazo grande desde Bs As!!
@@InspiringTracks Dale gracias. Igualmente tengo una Focus Clarett con 4 salidas, puedo conectar a una de esas dos libres que me quedan? Y después en el Daw como elijo que salga solo por esa? Otro abrazo!
Si, obvio si tenes 4 salidas de línea esa es la mejor opción lejos. Ahí si podes usar un cable común de guitarra sin problema. Depende del DAW que uses el ruteo de los tracks para las diferentes salidas. Busca info en Google que hay un montón sobre el tema
@@InspiringTracks perfecto! Muchas gracias
Thanks mate !!
Your welcome!!
I'm not understanding how you can still hear the mix but don't have the entire mix going out to the pedal. How are you able to route only the guitar track out (by it's self) without soloing that track? I really want to understand this.
Edit: Oh, I think I see, track output is set to HP 2 L
I think I'm getting it. This could be a big break through for me. Lol
Thanks for this video
Great vid! I’m just confused on the Y cable part. I didn’t see you connect the third tip into anything, so I guess I’m just wondering if the Y cable is entirely necessary? Or if I can use a regular instrument cable?
Dont use a regular mono cable. Since the headphone output is stereo, if you plug a mono cable you are shorting the ring and sleeve contacts of the interface and you dont want that. Its probably fine and I dont think you can break anything but better stay on the safe side
Inspiring tracks So would a using a TRS to TRS be another alternative? I guess ideally ud want TRS (from interface) going to TS for your pedal right?
Also thanks for the vid!
I think it should work. Since boss pedals are mono I think they use only the tip and sleeve part of a stereo TRS connector. Of course if you are handy with a soldering iron you can make a TRS to TR cable specifically for this and it should work great
Rather than just ask the question and hope for a response I spent 20 minutes reading through the comments and here it is! Not just the answer, but a detailed answer with even more useful info that I'm sure will come handy down the line. Bravo sir. 👏👏
Liked and subscribed,
Thank you.
Hey there, thank you so much for the video. I have a question for you that is slightly off-topic but has to do with what you’re saying.
I am playing an acoustic guitar through a TC helicon play acoustic pedal. The Pedal does not have a guitar through but has an XLR DI guitar out. I want to run into a boss OC three, then into a NUX Atlantic, and then into a boss RC 500 after the play acoustic pedal… Then run it into my mixer.
I am on a forum right now trying to figure out if I need an impedance transformer coming out of the play acoustic which outputs at around 300/150 ohms from the XLR direct out.
My question:
If I got a female XLR to 1/4” TS cable, would the first boss Pedal I run it into after my play acoustic pedal work the same as a Lo-Z to Hi-Z transformer?
The riff you were playing sounds like the training clip to Nintendo's Mike Tyson's Punch Out!
Would this work with any good buffered pedal, or does Boss have the sauce?
Yes absolutely, Boss is just the most popular out there
Well done and great idea. I don't have the particular Graphic EQ Boss Pedal that you used, but do have a Keely Modded DS-1.
I also have a IK Multimedia Z-Tone Buffer Boost pedal, which has a second identical (1/4") out as well as a balance XLR out and trs out. I am guessing the Buffer Boost pedal might work really well...(Hoping)...

any pedal with buffer will work or boss has a special special?
I only tested Boss but in theory any pedal with a buffer should work just fine
Where is the other of y cable connected to ( one goes to the ge7 pedal input where is the other part connected to) please help
I know you asked this a while ago. But, if you are still wondering: You don't plug it into anything. It is a mono track, he is using the Y cable (stereo to dual mono) just to isolate half of the headphone out to make sure the pedal doesn't receive twice the signal (voltage from BOTH left and right) from the headphone output. So, TRS jack into the headphone, one of the mono jacks into the pedal, the other mono unplugged - doing nothing.
This is a quality, helpful tutorial. 👍 (that makes 667 likes! 🙃)
Way cool 👍
Thanks!
Además de lo interesante de los videos, el mate de fondo fue el empujón final para el Subscribe. MUy genial lo que haces.
The Boss pedal DID NOT sufficiently eliminate ground noise which could be heard within the first half seconds once the DAW started recording the reamped track. Most reamp boxes will significantly reduce the ground buzzing noise, but most do not completely eliminate it. Reamping through extreme distortion pedals for extreme metal will only make this buzzing noise much louder and annoying, especially on djent or muted chugging with lots of silence breaks.
No noise at all, a reamp box is better of course but this works just great
@@InspiringTracks Yes, what you recorded worked for the type of riffs being played with the types of distortion you are using. I have tried your technique with my gear and it does eliminate some noise but only slightly. I am building my own 6 channel reamp box with volume and impedance control knobs for a Roland GK2/3 breakout box of which other DIY breakout boxes do not use. But I use both the Digitech and DOD Death Metal Pedals which already requires 2 noise suppressors to keep silent. I use my Roland VG88 for its Virtual Guitar and Virtual amp for reamping back into impulse response pedals. I must eliminate all noise in DI and Reamp, and possibly a vst plugin (next agenda), without losing high fidelity so as to NOT amplify any additional noise
Does this work with a boss metalcore pedal. Because I rarely use that one
Yes, any boss pedal should do the trick fine
Thanks, vertu useful and well made video!
So if i understand you well, this should work with any buffered pedal, right?
Thanks! And yes, only the buffer part of the pedal is used to match the impedance of the amp so any buffered pedal should do the trick
@@InspiringTracks Ok I'll try that some day, thanks!
The flashback delay have buffer too. I should user this pedal for it??? Thanks, my friend
I didn't tested with that pedal but if it has a buffer it should work perfectly
Acabo de mirar que mi Amplificador tiene FX Loop que en su pagina oficial en sus especificaciones dice que el FX Loop del amp tiene Buffer. Quiere decir que no necesitaria el pedal Boss para la conexion que te comente antes?
Muy buen vídeo!!!
Great job. Thanks for the info and explanations.
very nice tutorial , i have a question , can i do the same with a vst synth? going out from my audio interface into a remp box and a guitar amp and record with a mic?
Absolutely! It's a common technique to process several signals with guitar amps, works also great with vocals!
@@InspiringTracks so in your opinion i can use a boss eq instead of buying a ream box like the daccapo ...or the radial ? but what about the guitar amp, is it good also for like more bass sound or just for leads and high freq sounds? do you think maybe is better using an acoustic guitar amp?
Usually when you are reamping trough a guitar amp other things that aren't guitars is because you want to impart the sonic characteristics of the amp to that instruments, kind of like an effect. They have a narrow frequency response with little bass and high end, and they distort easily and in a musical way, if that's the effect you want they are great, if not maybe you can try something else. And this method works great for the casual home recorded who do some reamp every now and then, if you plant to make a lots of reamps it isn't a bad idea to invest in a dedicated box
