How to use ANY Boss pedal as a reamp box

[@InspiringTracks]

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!

[@elpayaseteetesayap1199]

@@nitromeda Yes. The sub-titles are great for the foreigners (like me), but with a voice, the results (and the views) will be better.

I actually think youtube is not recommending it because there is no talking. Screws up the algorhytm. Great Video, did not know you could do that with a simple boss pedal!

[@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 $$$$!

[@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!

[@LorneVignettes]

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 👍

[@doggwoggle]

clever trick matching the levels. Good job.

[@Lazarus_G]

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. This is a way better solution and I won't have to worry about the time or money it takes for used gear that may not work properly and take weeks to get here or new stuff that's gonna gather dust.

[@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!

[@ldmdesign5610]

This is vital info right here, just ordered a Ds-1 to check it out. And to crunch up some sounds out the box. I'm assuming then I can have a chain of fx just making sure the Boss is the first one

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!

[@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.

[@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!

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?

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?

[@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

Genius. I wondered how much difference a pedal buffer could manage. Does this work with powered headphone level OR line level outs?

[@marcelo_campitelli]

Excelente el video!!! No entiendo por qué hay que igualar el volumen que sale de la placa y va al pedal con el mismo volumen de la guitarra DI que grabaste originalmente... la DI original podía ser cualquier volumen (eso depende de como graba cada persona, yo por ejemplo grabo en -12dB aproximadamente), pero ese volumen no necesariamente va a ser el mismo volumen que le entra al amplificador cuando conectas la guitarra, entonces no entiendo por qué hay que igualar el volumen en la salida de la placa (es totalmente arbitrario desde mi punto de vista)

[@Hermetx]

como recomendación, él dice que la señal DI la grabes lo más fuerte posible (SIN CLIPEAR O SATURAR), asi te encargas de que la grabación de la señal sea la mas correcta al momento de pasarla al amplificador, actúa como una guitarra real y mejores resultados.

Hey, i've got the Tu 3 tuner. Would I plug into the bypass? If I turn the tuner on it will mute my signal.

[@masterofreality230]

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

[@SleepingLionsProductions]

So I heard that you can do this method NOT just with a BOSS pedal, but any pedal with a buffer. To find out if your pedal has a buffer, put it in bypass mode and unplug the power/remove battery. If no sound passes thru, it has a buffer.

[@InspiringTracks]

That's true to some extent. Indeed any pedal with a buffer should work just fine but there's some newer pedals with relay switching which are true bypass but need power to work. Depending how the relay is wired they can let pass signal without power or not. Better check the manual to be sure. Cheers!

[@SleepingLionsProductions]

@@InspiringTracks thanks for the tip! Manuals aren't very clear about the buffered bypass thing sometimes. I couldn't find any info on my Behringer FX600 pedal but I did find out it has a buffered bypass through some digging.

[@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

[@hayzeephantayzee]

@@InspiringTracks ah ok, thanks!

[@soplalagarch]

Cool video! Do you happen to know if every boss pedal has the input/output buffers? I have a turbo overdrive, metal zone, and a eq20 twin. I read in a forum that in some boss pedals the buffers double as some kind of treble booster, in other posts that the buffers are not transparent, that they attenuate your low frequencies, also that there are different impedance buffers. Any way, bummer since i was looking for using this reamp method precisely to do a comparison between my amp sound with and without the bypassed eq on the signal path. Not a tone freak here (or maybe a bit of a freak but I try not to be a tone snob), but I did think i noticed that with the bypassed boss pedals my amp gets harsher (not in a good way) than with no pedals, the effect I heard seems to coincide with the theoretical effects caused by either a low end loss or I high end boost (as described) so I'd like a clear comparison to rule out the possibility of ear fatigue, but if i need a boss pedal acting like a buffer is kind of a chicken and the egg problem. Any extra knowledge? Any ideas to go around it? Thanks

[@InspiringTracks]

Thanks, glad you liked it! Yes, every Boss pedal AFAIK has a buffer. What you describe usually means that in regular conditions you are loosing some treble due to long cables, too many true bypass pedals, etc. (also known as tone suck) and the buffer gives your signal some extra kick to go trough all that without loosing high frequencies, which usually is the desired effect of using at least one buffer at the beggining and end of your signal chain

The usual issue would be, because of a long signal chain, mids and treble will decay, so to compensate for that loss a buffer would need to boost those frequencies somehow, therefore it's a design trait. So... To get it straight, what we want with the buffer in this scenario is only the impedance conditioning right? Btw, if I followed you correctly, then my ears are not deceiving me, my amp really sounds harsher with a boss pedal in the signal chain, even when off, and that is... Because of the buffer. I like boss pedals because they're trustworthy and get the job done, but that might also explain the reason I always thought that going into a valve amp they suck a bit of the dynamics, meaning the natural compression of the valves is triggered in a different place (so to speak) than when plugged straight in. I suppose the picking intensity/dynamic response is something you can get used to if you always use a pedal or if you listen to people that uses them but I grew up listening to guys straight into Marshalls. It may also be if you have a long signal chain with just a buffer first, eventually the signal somewhat resets itself. But maybe it's just my gorilla hands that can't get the eq on the amp to compensate for said harshness. Thanks again, Cheers

Nice video !!! THNX! Just one qustion, Don't you have to deal with some latency? Grtz from Belgium

[@InspiringTracks]

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!

@@InspiringTracks Ok, Seems logic. I'll do that. Thank you for your reply and have a nice weekend!!!

Just picked up a GE-7 for like 70 bucks pretty good condition. Not a bad deal considering it works great and I can also do this with it now that you've show me da wae

[@InspiringTracks]

GE-7 is probably the most versatile pedal ever made, good find! And happy reamping!!

The input of boss equalizer isnt designed to receive low impedance, the reamp yes
