How To Reamp Guitars - The Right Way!

[@cradddockdude1998]

I thought that the DI box was redundant until you brought up getting this back in time with the original recording. Thanks

[@spinlightstudios]

Thanks mate! Always little tricks to help!

[@edwardkenemorales]

I also tried using a DI box backwards to sort of reamp (using pedals). Its a cheap trick that I learned online years back and it works for those like me that cant afford the radial reamp box. Thanks for the vid mate!

[@spinlightstudios]

That sounds cool man! Thanks for sharing the tip!

[@meagainokay7673]

Hey man thanks for the tutorial! Quick question...can't you just record the signal via an audio interface (Focusrite in my case) using a vst. Then bypass the vst to get the dry signal and then go through the reamp box into a real amp? I'm just wondering why there's the need for the di box as well. Cheers!

[@spinlightstudios]

The di box is so I can recapture the clean signal and then line it back up with the original in my DAW - sometimes to trip out and back in can have some latency

[@VelocityRecordingStudio]

@@spinlightstudioseven more confusing is there can be some latency between the di and the mics too

[@FoundationMCR]

Thanks for vid! why would you double track a reamped signal? With different settings from the amp? nice one

[@thoughtseyemanifestmusic6849]

Could you technically do this with drums (i.e. kick or snare)? I saw another video of someone doing this through a 500 series EQ and it was gnarly. Either way, this was extremely informative!

[@spinlightstudios]

Yeah absolutely, you can reamp anything and get creative haha

Bro I've got 3 of the EVH heads up at the studio, I love them so much lol. Can get a blues tone on channel 1 when driving it, or roll the gain way back on channel 2 and get the same, or fucking drive that channel 3 into oblivion and go full metal! Cheers for the tips too man, I'm currently not reamping as I am mostly digital, but will be in future!

It’s my favourite amp hey! So versatile 😍

[@EricBadderMusic]

You’re the man! Thanks you sir!

[@spinlightstudios]

No problem man!

Rhys, thanks for your exceptional videos. I'm a novice at this, you have really helped me ground my understanding of audio engineering a bit! I appreciate your video on reamping guitars because I've been having trouble getting this to work for myself. I cannot get the DI signal through to my amp in mono when I switch the output. I use Logic > apollo twin > radial x-amp > guitar amp. I select mono output 3 in Logic, press play and no signal passes through. When I switch back to stereo output, only the left side of signal plays through the amp (so, I know my connections are good). The signal is getting held up somewhere and I cannot figure it out in Logic! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@spinlightstudios]

Thanks mate! Oh that’s odd… sounds like you’ve done everything right. So if you change it to output 3-4 it runs to the reamp box but not in mono output 3?Could it be the I/O matrix in the Apollo? It’s hard to say without being there to troubleshoot it

Hey there, I’m trying to re amp some dry signal guitar tracks , with that same reamp box but I ain’t got no luck , you said the cable that goes from the computer is trs to xlr, and that’s exactly what I have and used , but then is t it be Ts as it’s a mono signal? , the. I tried with a regular instrument cable plugin from output to the input in front of the reamp box and it works I get to hear the amp reamping , but anytime I try to send it back to the computer sounds very crappy , something in doing wrong and I’m getting frustrated …. Can you help me?

[@spinlightstudios]

Are you sending the guitar signal through an output on your interface?

[@dannyveras]

@@spinlightstudios yes and it works fine it goes to the amp , but I try 2 different options to te amp , one with a mic in front of of the amp that foto the input , and I get a lot of feedback and sounds terrible, then the other option is I use captor 8 torpedo to use cabinet simulators from the wall of sound software , and no luck sounds really bad , so I’m definitely doing something wrong

[@carrott0pgaming844]

How come you are sending the signal through a di box before the amp? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the reamp box cause you’re switching from lo z output on your interface to hi z back to low z.

[@spinlightstudios]

Hey mate, I’m quite certain the “thru” doesn’t effect the signal in any way, the output of the J48 would be lo-z but the thru would still be hi-z from the reamp box. If you watched the full video I explain the necessity of the DI box in the reamp stage.
