Thanks for the excellent demo. I’m in a situation where my electric guitar is being ran through a DI box that splits the signal into an onstage amp and a mixer with no amp/cabinet simulator. The guitar in the main mix sounds terrible, and I’ve been looking for a DI box with a good but cheap amp/cabinet simulator to resolve this issue. This one checks off all I need. Needless to say, I’m gonna add this pedal to my rig ASAP. Thanks so much again!

I cant find an answer on this question and I think you could help. I want to put this at the end of my effects loop after my delays so I can send all the tones from my preamp and pedals into front of house via xlr out with cab sim on. My amp doesn't have a di out and I like having it as a backup for when a mic'd cab might not work or to just mix against a micd cab. My question is, does the cab sim also get sent along the unbalanced 1/4 line when the balanced line is connecting? I want to send the unbalanced out back into the return of my fx loop but I dont want the cab sum coloring my tone into my power amp which already feeds my real cabinets. Basically a "thru" or "dry" non cab-simmed signal.

Thinking I need one of those DI Boxes to run from the back of my pre amp pedals direct into mic input of my Zoom Q8. No need for amp that way... 4x12 cab simulator would make it sound good I think. I will have to try this out and see what happens.

Curious if anyone knows how to fix this: My guitar signal is extremely hot, and when I plug it directly into my audiobox (presonus usb96) it clips with all the knobs turned to 0, and has a digitally crap sound when i palm mute. Is this a DI box fix, or a preamp fix? Using Studio One 5, and Aurora Rhino for my amp/cab sim.

Ground lift is when you have noisy signals in the ground path and it takes the ground path out of the signal. If there is alot of noise you can try it and see it solves the problem (or at least gives you less noise)

Any differences between XLR and 1/4 TRS when connecting to the mixer? Thank you.
@JimijaymesProductions7 жыл бұрын
Id guess the XLR is mic level and balanced and the 1/4 out is unbalanced guitar signal which means it could pick up noise over long runs and may be high impedance (if you dont have a buffer) so you would need to connect to a hiz input (pretty much a DI inside the mixer). The XLR could do longer runs and goes straight into the mic input on a mixer or interface. The 1/4 is usually used so you can still go to an amp and then the DI'ed xlr signal goes to recording or mixer
