How to use ANY Boss pedal as a reamp box

Do you have a Boss pedal? Then you also have a hidden reamp box! How cool is that?
If you are on a tight budget or just want to experiment with reamp to see if it fits your workflow before purchasing dedicated gear? you don need to spend money on a fancy reamp box, any Boss pedal will do the trick just fine and here I'll show you how to do it step by step!
Don't believe me? be sure to use a good pair of headphones or studio monitors and hear for yourself!

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 KZbin. So if you liked it and want to help me, please share it with your musicians friends, on social media, Reddit, etc. and show KZbin that it's worth reccommending. Thanks A LOT!!

[@nitromeda]

Thank you for the fantastic video! I am a complete noob but perhaps the algorithm likes the human voice for tutorials?!?! But ... just guessing!

[@oig40203]

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 $$$$!

[@Zedhead17]

I watch a lot of home recording vids and this has never come up. Great content and excellent delivery. Many thanks.

[@jackslayers]

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!

[@veneratorgeneratesaiart24h96]

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.

[@InspiringTracks]

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!!!

[@strange_logic]

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!

[@InspiringTracks]

Really awesome to hear that! I´m glad it worked for you!

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!

[@BlugubriousMusic]

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.

[@InspiringTracks]

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

[@BlugubriousMusic]

@@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!

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 👍

[@piepolt01]

What am I doing wrong? I only get tons of feedback.... Signal Chain: HP out --> Boss DD-3T in / Boss out - Input Line6 UX2 Audio Interface.

[@SamiKankaristo]

Do you have input monitoring on? If the audio interface input is going straight back out to the headphone output, you will obviously get a lot of feedback. Turn input monitoring off for the headphone output, and it should work fine.

[@ClovisAvileTorrilla]

Could you make a reamp comparison between BOSS eq pedal and a real reamp box?

[@gabrieloalgo]

Bruh.... Thank you!!

[@InspiringTracks]

I'm glad to help!

[@regortex3364]

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.

[@androidgameplays4every13]

NOt the right tool for the job.

[@trevorcoleman9125]

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.

[@xntricity6446]

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?

[@tauvholiik7936]

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.

[@InspiringTracks]

No noise at all, a reamp box is better of course but this works just great

[@tauvholiik7936]

@@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

[@danieloux]

cool I've been doing that for years with great results , great video!

[@ShahariarHassan]

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

[@BanyanMakes]

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.

[@rembrandtgonzalez4512]

Do you know if this works with FV50L volume pedal? Also by Boss.

[@berndkiltz]

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?

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!

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 :)

[@InspiringTracks]

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

[@pirish8425]

@@InspiringTracks Thanks so much for the response! Legend :)

[@JohnCiambriello]

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?

[@oqsy]

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.

[@gammakeraulophon]

Shame the guy never answered.. cos I was wondering the same thing, whether it works with Line level.. instead of headphone output.

[@Bibliothekaresse]

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!

[@crebanstudios]

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?

[@InspiringTracks]

Thanks and yes, adding more pedals is possible and works exactly like you described it

[@文继沐]

This is so cool!!! One question, do other brands Buffer pedal work?

[@InspiringTracks]

I didn't tried other brands but at least in theory as long as it has a buffer it should work

[@AleSuggests]

Spending my life collecting true bypass only pedals has played against me eventually :(

[@InspiringTracks]

Lol. I also love TB pedals but a buffer or two in your signal chain helps a lot, aside from this application

[@ckrug32]

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!

[@gazomusic]

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?

[@InspiringTracks]

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

[@gazomusic]

Nice video! Question: why you just don't use the outputs of your sound card instead of the headphones output?

[@InspiringTracks]

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

[@ThePsaurio]

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.

[@BrewerShettles]

Can get the this to work : UR-RT4 separate output #1(back of unit) with a mono cable - Boss CE3 - Inst cable to Vox Cambridge 15 Amp . When I try to match gain I get feedback. Any ideas? DAW level out = 0 db. What o you do to not get feedback? Thanks!

for fun purposes it's ok, but for professional applications this is too noisy (yes, you can actually hear it)... boss buffers are in most cases transistors, that acts differently from inductors in reamp boxes.

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?

[@InspiringTracks]

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

[@adamsomerville6031]

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!

[@InspiringTracks]

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

[@renevandalen96]

This does not solve the impedance adjusting you need for reamping.

[@InspiringTracks]

Please explain why not

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

The reamp box will slightly more accurately recreate the frequency/inductance curve of a guitar pick up plugged straight into an amp… But given most guitarists plug into a pedal or two with a buffer before their amp anyway… Who cares?

[@The_Absurdistt]

The riff you were playing sounds like the training clip to Nintendo's Mike Tyson's Punch Out!

[@hayzeephantayzee]

So I did this and basically it's working. But when recording the guitar dry to be reamped later, how do I set its channel fader of my DAW (ableton live)? I understand that the interface gain knob stays put. But the DAW input fader in- and decreases the recording level, too. So which position is the "real" one? That stays true to the naked guitar signal? Or what do I miss?

[@InspiringTracks]

Leave it at 0db during all the recording process, otherwise you are digitally increasing or decreasing the gain and not reflecting the real signal that's coming into the interface

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.

@@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?

[@InspiringTracks]

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

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!!

Aqui te saluda otro graduado honoris causa en LACAMS (lo atamo con alambre music school).Mi interface tiene entrada hi-z , ahi le entro con guitarras y bajos sin problemas de impedancia, luego tiene salidas trs independientes para cada canal, de ahi salgo a los respectivos amplis de bajo y guitarra que uso(con el cuidado de su volumen)como monitores de todo lo que hago en mi Daw .Se que lo correcto seria tener dos cajas de reamp conectadas para volver a bajar la señal y subir la impedancia para los amplis pero no quieropuerodebo comprar dichas "jaboneras chupa dolares" Vos consideras que podria un pedal Digital delay boss interponerse entre la salida de interfase y los amplis y hacer dicho trabajo sin riesgos para ambos? Abrazo!!

[@InspiringTracks]

Lo atamo con alambre es mi segundo nombre jaja. Es super importante que le prestes mucha atencion a setear el nivel correcto de envio a los amplis, tiene que ser exactamente el mismo que el volumen de salida de la guitarra que hayas grabado para que el ampli responda de la misma manera. Un delay Boss en bypass funciona perfecto, si te referis a usar un pedal stereo para hacer reamp de dos canales independientes ahi ya no se, tal vez funcione pero no podria asegurarlo. Lo ideal seria usar un pedal por amplificador. Saludos!!!

[@robertorimollo157]

@@InspiringTracksGenial , seria un pedal diferente por salida por las dudas.Excelente trabajo de difusion el tuyo.Encima tengo una tascam 424 igual y estoy aprendiendo a sacarle canales independientes a la interface y te encuentro laburando con ella y me levanta el animo del rata (que es un poderoso sentimiento) un gran saludo y muchas gracias por tu trabajo!!

[@NaturalDutchSpirit]

i don't think that the output impedance of a guitar is same as output buffer of a Boss pedal. Effect types like Fuzz and Wah work best right after a guitar, and respond different when another pedal is placed before it.

[@mixo9915]

So... i can't use a Typic Guitar Cable to conect the Headphones out to the Boss Pedal? And i need to use the boss pedal with a batery? can i use a Power Supply?

[@InspiringTracks]

No, dont use a regular guitar cable. The headphone output is stereo with a TRS connector and guitar cables are mono with TS connectors. If you only have a guitar cable you can use one of the mono outs on the back of the interface. Is a little less convenient but you can do it without problems. And of course you can use a power supply with the pedal. I used a battery just to avoid (more) cable clutter

[@JonSeeMusic]

WAIT. IS MY TUNER THATS ALREADY ON MY BOARD A REAMP?????

[@InspiringTracks]

basically yes, lol

[@nabiladam5779]

can i use boss guitar pedal to reamp bass guitar?

[@crnkmnky]

good question. It should be fine, since it's in Bypass. Some Boss pedals are specially designed for bass, if you are unsure.

[@harveyandruss8748]

Isn't reamping through daw bus easier? All the models are pretty decent these days with IR, etc.

[@InspiringTracks]

That isnt reamping, is just using a plugin. Nothing wrong with that but they are different things

[@harveyandruss8748]

​@@InspiringTracks reamping to me is taking a bare guitar signal into a daw and porting it to one or more busses set up with different signal chains. So one could be Fender clean, one could be Marshall plexi another Mesa Boggie, another Soldano. All new amps and signal chains with one original performance. Tell me where I am wrong. To bring this signal back out to an analog equivalent is trusting your mikes, cabs, wires and mixing boards way too much perhaps. Convince me otherwise

[@carlosortizjr5508]

Does it change if i go straight from the headphone out to the amp input? After doing the gain stage in the daw

[@davidkulmaczewski4911]

Yes, that's the whole point. You can't just run any DAW output -- headphone or line -- into a guitar amp. You need some type of hardware, and you can use a Boss pedal instead of an expensive reamp box.

[@GimenezJorgeX]

Geniallll! lo voy a probar :)! Me llama la atencion el nivel en que tenes el dsl40c. el mio es infumable a ese volumen. onda suena a 1 cuadra jajajajaja. hermoso igual el tip. voy a ahorrar varios morlacos !

[@InspiringTracks]

Gracias! lo tengo seteado en 20W como para domarlo un poco pero si, igual es una locura de volumen jaja. Pasa que tanto los amplis a valvulas como el SM57 suenan mucho mejor con volumen asi que busque un momento donde moleste lo menos posible a los vecinos. Generalmente no toma mucho tiempo hacer un reamp asi que suelen entender jaja. Saludos!

[@atrumluminarium]

So to save even more money, this should work also with Behringer pedals no? At least the models that are Boss clones

[@robinoliveras7977]

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

I have a Empress EQ that can have a buffer turned on and also has an input pad!! I almost wasted money!! lol

I would have loved to have narration instead of text on this. That said, this is a very helpful video. Thanks!

[@kevinpolochak9477]

What steps did you take to avoid a feedback loop from coming out of your monitors?

[@InspiringTracks]

Sincerely, no extra step was required. The only moment when in theory you can get some feedback is during the microphone setup, but unless your monitors are set at a HUUUUGE volume, no sound coming from them is picked up. During the recording of the reamped signal obviously you should mute the monitors and the only sound source must be the guitar amp so there's no problem at all

[@kevinpolochak9477]

@@InspiringTracks I had to change my headphone output to a different outout than my monitor output. I than routed my previously recorded track to that output. I could hear the new track being printed through my monitor. I than unarmed the track after the recording was done when listening back to the track. Prior to that i was getting a feedback loop problem.

[@kevinpolochak9477]

@Inspiring Tracks Thanks for the video was great help. Just gotta be carefull not to get a feedback loop problem. Using this to mix tracks through fx pedals

[@InspiringTracks]

That's exactly what you have to do. With an interface with headphone outputs independent from the monitor outputs you should route your guitar signal to that HP out on your DAW. I tought you where having acoustic feedback loops from the microphone picking up the monitors sound and reamplifing that. I'm glad you solved it!

[@FranSo98]

que lindo haber visto ese matesito ahi atras! che, si uso un cable mono saliendo del output de auriculares de mi interfaz, igual anda? o necesito el cable Y si o si? saludos!

[@InspiringTracks]

Jaja es una adicción! Si no tenes un cable Y seria preferible que uses uno stereo. La salida de auris de la interfaz es stereo y si le enchufas un plug mono estas poniendo en corto uno de los canales con masa. Probablemente no pase nada pero yo por las dudas no me arriesgaria. La otra es armarte vos un cable solo para reamp que tenga un plug mono en una punta y otro stereo en la otra. Saludos!!

[@FranSo98]

[@icestorm_rb9057]

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!

[@InspiringTracks]

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!
