![]() Re-amp - You really need a preamp or dedicated re-amping device. We did use it in a similar way in a live situation when we didn't have an alternative and made it work with creative use of our mixer but I certainly would have used any other system had I one available at the time.Įmergency - hook it up and save the gig, for sure! So Although you could use it to re-amp a sufficiently strong enough recorded signal, I doubt you would be happy with the results. Piezo pickups (like in my fiddle, or an amplified acoustic guitar), can give a strong enough signal level to drive the input on the red box but you have to be able to EQ that signal after it leaves the red box(like with a mixer or other type of preamp) to get a decent sound (tone). Even though it did work with a Bass (in a pinch!) It was horrible using it by itself with an electric guitar with passive pickups. It's designed for line level or speaker level signals. Must have something to do with the Bass's frequencies.Ģcd: The red box really isn't designed for an instrument level input. It worked with just the red box inserted into the PA. :-) You can invest in a dedicated reamp box or you can use a passive DI in reverse, ie: synth output -> XLRF into the output of the DI, with 1/4' DI input -> pedal input. Strangely it was not a huge problem for a Bass guitar with passive pickups although there significant hum. Definitely need an amp/preamp or active pickups if for one reason or another you need to use just the red box alone to run an electric guitar signal into a PA or other recording device. However this setup doesn't work well for an electric guitar. It wasn't ideal but it did work and gave acceptable sound/tone when we didn't have an alternative. Had to adjust the EQ a bit on the PA but this actually provided acceptable (emergency!) results for the piezo pickup in my fiddle (would also presumably work with an electrified acoustic guitar, although I haven't tried that) and the Bass. Couple things though:ġst, there were a couple of times that for one reason or another both our Bass player, or I didn't have a sans-amp or other preamp available, so we simply plugged straight into the red box and from it into the PA. output 4) > pedalboard > amp > Two notes torpedo > Audiocard input. Suddenly, all of your guitar amps, effects pedals, and synthesizers become effects for any signal you can throw at them. I have an audiobox 44VSL audio card (4 ins, 4 outs) and I want to run a dry track from a specific output (e.g. One of the most powerful tools for expanding your sonic pallet in the studio is a reamping box-a box that converts the output from your mixer/interface/tape machine to an instrument-level signal. Hi Rex! Actually you can (sort of) do that with a red box. 1 Hi all, Im looking for a good schematics, I need to build a DI box for reamping.
