Going Direct instead of using a guitar amp is something most guitar players shy away from, but shouldn't. The DI guitar sound can be just a interesting and musical as the greatest amplifier in the world when used in the right context, and has been used on countless iconic recordings over the last 60 years. More guitar players should try going DI instead of using an amp.

"Why Are So Many Guitar Players Afraid Of This?" I thought it was Rhett explaining that guitarists can actually turn an amp down
or sight read
I'm always afraid of a chorus that is out of tune, like that one.
Yeah, the title of this doesn't seem to apply in any way to the content.
no way
@LloydWoodall yeah, I don't get why Rhett and Ricks producer still think clickbaity titles is the way to go. It's annoying.
I appreciate the demo and behind the scenes building of the track. Sweet groove and solid playing. Like I'd expect anything less.
I also love the shot of Penny being a studio dog.
Thanks, y'all
Be good to you
So many isolated guitar tracks of great songs don’t always sound amazing by themselves but in the mix just perfect !
I feel like this is a lesson so many bass players learn early that guitar players take a while to get. Your tone needs to sit in a mix with other guitars, keyboards, bass, vocals, drums. Not sound like an entire band at once.
Wow! Those pedals are rad! So cool to hear that loop in action, too. Thanks for the shoutout!
Gosh, I loved that. I wish more people would show how they mix pedals
Man! The studios looking so good and the production quality of this video is top top!
this video (framing, transitions, editing, etc.) are next level. you've always had very well-made videos but this was one of the most fun to watch in a long time
I think he’s got a new guy doing it now.
The Ross Distortion and an MXR phaser were my only pedals through the 80s. A Plush amp and some random high school project speaker cabinet that was actually pretty good. It nailed Missing Persons and Berlin.
Guitar is why I suck at TV Trivia games.
(:
MXR Distortion+ Script logo, MIJ Boss Ce-2, MIJ DS-1,
MIJ OD-1 and a original TC-electronics SCF, for the "stereo-output" and flanger.
(nothing beats the CE-2, except a JC-120 amp)
Into a 1970's Marshall Bass head and a SF Twin Reverb..
Or 2 SF Princeton Reverbs...
Hey Rhett, love the videos where we get to watch you and Phil make music! I was curious about the reverbs and delays it looked like you were adding in Logic. Did you add them after, or could you hear those effects in the room while you were tracking? Great to see the studio getting so much use! Excited for you.
Great video. Beautiful playing Rhett. Your guitar sound is sensational.
I’m not a chorus person at all, but when you set slow and low just to give it a bit off movement, I loved it.
For me, that’s how chorus should be used.
Totally agree about going direct. There’s something about the clean pure simplicity of a direct guitar sound.
Thank you guys for making these videos. They’re inspiring.
Ps- would love to see an interface shootout
At $189, the price does seem a bit steep for new players.
Especially, when one can get better versions, with more features, of all the Ross effects, for the same, less or slightly more money.
Agree
Too expensive. Go better used.
That’s Boss Waza prices, pass
Under $200 is an “affordable pedal” price nowadays. We live in an era when some pedals cost $700+. More than some amps or guitars cost.
7:39 reminds me of Orions Belte. Great sound. Rhett, if you haven’t heard them yet, I know you’ll love their sound.
i think the huge open studio ssns “control” room looks badass…im sure there are limitations not being able to separate the live from the monitor lsound, but it feels very dyi and loft-space.
👍🤷♂️
The chorus and distortion DI sounds like a synth. Really cool.
I always track in a DI line, it allows the ability to add or change things after the performance. I sometimes will aux out the recorded signal to other guitar chains and then back in, sometimes via an amp and mic. Awesomeness!
Love the channel. Too bad you don’t line in Utah, I’d love to have you jam with my band. :)
Cheers
My favorite videos of yours are when a track develops over the course of the video. The song tells the story.
Cool that you used the Jason Isbell Tele.
Didn’t know these existed, love that you brought this series back to bring this gear to light
Great clip! Hones review is great and you found some great musical textures using these pedals...all of which I'm now thinking of getting, based on yours (and Josh's) vids. I'm "that" guy who likes the simplest knob layouts and minimal tweaking, maybe because I'm old-school. :)
I know Jake Reed! He’s an amazing drummer and also a funny humble nice person. Awesome that he got a shoutout here.
TRUTH: “A lot of musicians forget it that it doesn’t matter how something sounds by itself…it matters how it sounds in the song”.
Nice giveaway and love the double bound telecaster!
Hey Rhett, great job as always! I’d love to see a comparison of the Apollo Twin X and your Volt 476!
Rhett - thank you for making this review. Love your honest reviews!! These sound awesome, JHS knocked it out of the park.
Nice! What's that black bass on the floor seen inter alia at 2:02?
I just bought that same UA Volt, so seeing you put it through its paces would be very interesting to me
Great demo and approach with the track build! Hope you are able to sell bunches of these things for Josh and JHS!
These tones sound 80’s as hell!
I love it! 👏
Rhett, who makes/where can I get the multi multi guitar stand you have at 1:16 in the video?
Also, as someone with more pedals than I know what to do with, this phaser pedal is pretty great. May have to snag one. Great video.
As a massive fan of Jack Antonoff, DI guitar is definitely something I've been using in more recent years. Great job man!
Not everyone can make it work.
jack antonoff’s direct guitar tone in his work is so awful in literally the best way. i love it.
Yes! An interface face off would be amazing!
I have been looking to maybe move forward from a Focusrite to a UA Volt.
How are you liking that Jason Isbell Tele? Picked one up a couple of weeks ago and completely love it.
Pedals sound amazing! How do you like recording with the UAD 4 76?
If I had to guess about the DI question, I think there's two big reasons:
1) Not every guitarist has access to a mixer/interface/etc. to get the DI sound, and when they first hear it, the reaction is often "wow, that sounds nothing like my electric running through my amp" and avoid it.
2) DI tone can be very unforgiving. Finger noise, pick scrapes, etc. all come out more than usual, and any sloppy technique seems to come forward much more than they do through a traditional amp. Your guitar signal is as exposed as it gets, warts and all.
But like you said, DI can be a really interesting palette choice. I'm a big fan of double-tracking DI guitars, it creates a very unique effect.
Had a gig where my lead guitarist couldn’t make it, so I was doing all the guitar and singing.
My amp died as we were setting up. No back line.
Had to go direct into the board.
At the time I was only using a boost pedal…
Shitting a brick, but gig came off really well 😃
I had the Ross distortion, Ross phaser and a Cry baby wah wah as my entire pedalboard in the late 70s going into a 50w Marshall half stack. It was a blast and you could play all the tones of the day (Pat Travers, Robin Trower, Foghat etc) with that rig. I moved away from pedals years ago, but if these reissues inspire new folks to make sounds then good on JHS for bringing them back.
Glad to see a pro using a UA Volt interface. Makes me feel good about my purchasing decision.
Yes for sure, love mine!!
sounds cool, maybe i need to set my XL up like yours and if i get these pedals... oh boy will i have something interesting going. shame i can't play anything good like you do, but on my way i suppose.
Love the Isbell tele!
6:08 it has an almost sterile sound. Like it’s not in a room. The phaser accentuates that alien precision. It definitely has that Gilmore quality. Or sounds like a dub reggae thing. Sounds very 70s. Surreal. I love it. Is that a Jason Isbell telecaster? That’s my favourite looking guitar. The chocolate burst with double binding and dark fretboard. So retro and classic looking. Even the 3 ply black pick guard is really tasteful with that white centre. Echoes the binding.
Well, more knobs means more options. If I'm running around on a stage I prefer a simple setup, but if I'm looking for sounds in a recording studio I prefer more options to find the right sound for the songs.
I've always loved the Ross Chorus sound, it's all over the Hemispheres album by Rush. I had an old 70's Rush flanger for years, that thing was built like a tank!
Limitations often breed creativity
On stage I prefer programmable rack mounted suff because of its ease of use.
I absolutely love that Tele man. Wow its beautiful. My Richie Kotzen Tele is by far my favorite guitar in my collection
The dog cameo was the best. Nothing like a chill studio dog.
Man, I love the chorus and phaser!
Hey man great video this new recording content is great, since you are making a full on studio i think it would be cool if you made a video of outboard gear like mic preamps, a lot of players are starting to make small studios and the outboard gear world is huge and in comparison to pedals there is not a lot of information regarding the diference of 2 preamps or 2 compressors like there is on overdrives or pickups.
The Studio looks great!
DI guitar sounds, like David Gilmore, are what inspired me to build a wet-dry guitar rig back in the day. Wah in front of everything, then splitting to a Fender Hot Rod with just the Dano Daddy-O and Fab Tone in front of it, and a Fender Reverb with a Boss OC-3, Dan Eco, Moogerfooger Phaser, and the old silver box Dunlop Univibe emulator as a "chorus" in front of it. I liked having the crunch on the main attack and modulation stay relatively clean. Combining overdrive tones with a separate delay and vibe sound, or being able to go ham on both distortion and phase with completely overwhelming the sound of the guitar itself.
Tom Verlaine was big into the DI sound on the early Television sound as well. Really gets you that shimmering twang.
What model is that Tele? I love the sunburst with double binding
honestly, this video sold me on Jake's drum sample pack
I love that bass tone. Sounds like Air’s Moon Safari… funny because it was retro sounding at the time, but now it’s older than what was emulating. Which means that I’m old.
I have a A.Y.A Tokyo R-Comp which is a clone of the Ross Comp (since the original was so hard to get), it's fantastic. I love it... so easy to use, really nice vibes.
Wow ...I have an original Ross distortion on my pedal board that I bought as a teenager (my first pedal!) in the 1980s. Haven't seen another Ross pedal -- till today.
Sounds Great Rett! Do you know if they’re coming out with an Overdrive Pedal? Cheers from Salem, Ohio.
Love that Tele!
What's going on with your studio? Is it going to remain as is and black? Haven't heard much about it.
I'd love to see an rundown of your latest board!
Hey Rhett, is there any chance you will review the Isbell Sig? Cheers!
Thanks gentlemen. Always enjoy content that explains how to use simple gear for the average player. The gear hole can be very deep and distracting.
I was also recommended the Volt 476 interface by my Sweetwater rep recently. I bought it and waiting for it to come in the mail
Clean for sure !
I used to enjoy recording direct with an Alembic Series One (1976 guitar).... sounded so funky!!! A guitar I should have kept... but it was vey heavy...had to sit while playing it.
greetings rhett while watching this video your brought back a memory of how michael schenker got his tone he used a wah wah pedal an just set at a type of position then left it there. so cool. stay safe a loyal fan . ;-)
Interface off! Good shout. You could user it to do a basic "how to get sounds into the box" lesson...
My old Ross Phaser is still my favorite phaser, too bad it broke on me last year. This is exciting.
Interface-off with budget options would be lovely!
Interface-off would be much appreciated. Would be great to get your thoughts on the various interfaces out there, from entry to expensive, and see what is available for novice to pro players.
Probably a pretty boring video, tbh. Almost every interface these days is "good enough" and the only concern should be if it has enough I/O for your needs. If you're at a level where you're trying to delve into the 1-5% differences between entry level and high end converters then you will be a professional in the industry and probably already know what you will need. You can make an amazing album on a Focusrite Scarlett, and the people who make videos comparing different entry level interfaces are just trying to sell you something.
Rhett, I experienced alot of lag with my UA Volt, did you guys see the same with your setup?
Are you using Jake Reed sample pack ?? I though the drums sounded similar 😊
I was afraid to go direct when the sound guy wanted to take a line out from my valvestate amp! Lost it when using a flextone iii and now with the Helix is perfect!
Cool vid! Those tones in the mix sounded great, loved hearing how different they sounded and the mood they created
5:48 sorta reminds of the guitar tone on “No More Lonely Nights” which coincidentally is Gilmour!!!
A friend of mine, from my very early days of playing, had a Ross amp he got at a radio shack. He stripped it and put it all in a 10 gallon gas can. Was awesome!
I thought this was going to be about sight reading and knowing music in general
That dog shaped rug really brings the room together, man.
Wasn't the fuzz in the amp a Ross circuit (now in pedal format)?
oh man, so good to see the tillyburst novo, was getting worried about it!
U rock Sett Rhull
That drum sound!
When I play into my digital modeling amp, isn’t that the same thing as a DI to the computer inside the amp? Turn the dials right and I can even get that thin metallic sound Rhett was looking for.
That's a great song you came up with there
this DI tele tone actually reminded me of "It's a Mistake" by Men at Work
Who ISN'T using Jake Reed's loops these days? The guy rocks. Great video :)
When I had a little 4-track set up in my bedroom, I spent years using DI all the time. I think I mic'd up my amp twice! I had no choice. You work with what you have.
I used to have a Tascam 4 track recorder that recorded onto cassette tapes. I plugged straight into that exclusively. It didn't sound as good as through my amp, but good enough.
What drum machine is that and is that a UA Volt interface?
What is the distortion circuit? Transistor?
This is for me. I am a DI type. One piece of advice for everyone who is using amps and tube amps: if you don't have treated room to record it - you can forget it. Peace! 😊
The owner of the town music store was a Boss Dealer, the only Ross or MXR exposure I had was when I went to the city an hour away. But my first pedals were a '78 DS-1, '82 (?) CE-2 Still have them both, '64 Princeton Reverb '65 Strat. They were used.
I just bought a 476P Volt, nice to sse you using a Volt too
A TON of 80’s pop and funk was recorded with the “desk tone.” Always a Strat just plugged right into the console. Usually with compression and chorus of course.
Oh damn, this jam was right up my alley
I still have the orig Ross distortion , great pedal
Interface-off is low key genius!
My very first distortion pedal was the black ROSS distortion. I traded a Megadeth and Zeppelin cassette tape for it in 92. Still have it and use it to this day. They definitely made a good distortion pedal, never tried their other stuff.
Any idea how to enter to win those pedals?
I’ve been learning King of Oklahoma with that guitar. So sick.
I've played acoustic for over 50 years. Put a P-90 on an acoustic (Iris OG). Now an Epiphone Sheraton as the Gibson is just a bit pricey. Thanks for the demo.
- going direct is a great way to get the job done...you can get a sound up pretty quickly then your good to hit record... also it has many practical implications for those who don't have access to a ton of gear... or need to record but can't play at loud volumes due to various restrictions like neighbours etc ...and if you do get a great take you have the option to re-amp or play a real mic'd amp up when you have the correct environment and add it to the track... I have been a big fan of going direct for years due to ease of workflow... finally perhaps do a couple of Rhett's gears featuring just two interface brands at a time... otherwise it becomes a little overwhelming... a classic starting combo could be UA Volt series v 's the latest iteration of the Focusrite Scarlett range...as always enjoy your content thanks...
Di into the console sounds like 80's pop music
As a geezer, who has owned his original beige distortion since uh.....78? Would the new wall wart work with it? Got no idea how to power it without a volt... Good stuff Rhett!
