TL DR reamping an amp by taking the line level signal from the DAC without using a reamp box, and either using the 'low impedance' input on your amp or a volume pedal (or any other attenuator between DAC and amp) is likely to be as good as using the reamp box, at most you will have to tweak the gain a little. Though they will both set you back a few bucks. My reamp run is about 50 ft from amp to control room, so noise control was a factor. Then I got some Edcor trannies and made another box based on the Jensen schemats. Originally, I used a simple schemat found online that literally had like 3 or 4 total components (a few resistors and a pot). If you turn down the send from within PT, you get a nice ocean type sound behind the signal. And if you are running out of a 192 IO, the level will usually over-saturate the DI transformer. A passive DI box in reverse can mess with the tone. I would consider it a good tool that can save you $$ down the line. It conditions the signal properly volume wise and noise wise. You need more headroom on both sides though.Ī slight aside: That -3dbu input means the instrument input has got 23db of gain (more likely less attenuation) over the line input! That's the hottest instrument input I've ever seen, and I'm pretty sure that about half my guitars would completely smash it.Without getting all technical, the reamp box isn't just a Cadillac way of re-amping. I hate to say it, but if you really want to do this, you're gonna have to upgrade your interface.Įdit - Now it also says that the max level at the instrument input is -3dbu, which indicates that you should actually be getting 6db gain just with everything at unity. It needs a special cable, but it will give you a bit of step up through the transformer. If you have a passive DI box, you could maybe try running that backwards. The headphone output does that as you've found, but I'm not super surprised it's noisy, though. You need about the opposite of the attenuation from the reamp box. The maximum output level of that interface is only +3dbu! That's not even nominal line level on pro gear. ![]() is it just broken!? i'm completly clueless right now ![]() also there is no difference in signal volume whether i plug the amp into the output or the INPUT of the JCR. When I plug the JCR into the headphones-out I can get the level high enough, but the additional amount of noise is unacceptable.īut it gets even weirder, when I plug the amp into the line out of the interface the signal seems to be kinda the same little too low level as when plugging the amp into the JCR. I was really excited to start reamping, but this is not what I expected. I don't see anything I could do wrong right now, can anyone help me? The DI is properly recorded and very loud, even though i record without a DI Box but straight into the instrument input at the interface, so it should be OK. It's not much thats missing, just a little too low, but everything is maxed out right now so I have completly NO headroom to adjust. Ths Signal coming out of the JCR is not loud enough.Įven when I play a normalized DI-Track through my Behringer UMC202HDs line-out at maximum volume into the JCR with maximum level the signal is not as hot as my guitar straight into the amp. Just got myself a Radial JCR passive reamp box. ![]()
