Want to be able to use your guitar pedals to mix?
Radial’s EXTC-Stereo Guitar Effects Interface & Reamp Box is a unique interface for connecting guitar pedals to the inputs and outputs of pro audio equipment such as recording interfaces or mixing consoles, allowing you to incorporate your pedals in new and creative ways.
The EXTC allows you to get creative with your effects pedals, using them in your mix on any recorded track. Add a touch of distortion or chorus to a lead vocal, flange on a violin, or fuzz on piano - the possibilities are endless. The EXTC takes the line level balanced output of your recording interface and converts it so an instrument level high-Z output optimized for guitar effects pedals, so you can Reamp any track through your pedalboard with ease. Once you’ve run the signal through your pedals, connect the output back into the EXTC and it will boost it up to a balanced line level so you can connect directly to the input of your recording interface.
The EXTC features Radial’s class-A buffer for the best audio quality and transformer isolation to eliminate any buzz or hum - so you can focus your attention on using your pedals in new and exciting applications.
Some of the features include:
Balanced interface for guitar effects pedals
Separate send & receive controls optimize signal path
Transformer isolation helps eliminate ground loops
Creative tool helps your mix stand out from the rest

Have you ever used guitar pedals in your mixes? Let me know below!

[@paulallen6849]

Great Showcase and reminder about using what equipment you've already got for other uses. I've used my line 6 hx stomp with other analogue pedals linked to it (as inserts). The great thing about the hx stomp is that you can switch the input to line level, so you can use it as an external insert. It also then gives you access to it's modelled pedals, amps and cabs, plus being able to add other analogue pedals in the chain.

[@ulfsvensson9710]

Yes, often. Both old ones i've had since the 70's and new bought for this.

[@soundpropellerpatrick113]

YES! Since money has long been an issur for me, I've had to make do with all i have. With my old cassette 424, or later with my digital 788 (before the era of common home DAWs), and my arsenal of pedals, I textured sounds on the way in (recording) and out (mixing). I will use any pedal that gives me the sound or effect I'm looking for, beyond the obvious EQ, compressors, and reverbs. Excellent subject!

[@sschmidtevalue]

I haven't watched this yet, but let me say I used to do that A LOT back in the 80's. The delay pedal in particular was very useful for vocal tracking. I had a Tascam 4 track Portastudio and ran the signal out, through my pedals, and back in through the auxiliary channels. I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work now.

[@SamLowryDZ-015]

Always used to run monosynths through pedals back in the 80s live days - best pedal I ever bought was a BF2 for my Pro One - and it still works. Also using putting an HM2 in a feedback loop back into the filter. Having hands on analog gear and not many resources brings out the inventivations.

[@bobdhoffnar]

I have been using a couple mono versions of the extc for about a year. Fantastic for so many things. One really amazing thing is I have NEVER had hum/buzz problems. Those gremlins that inhabit my live rig pedalboard do not cause any problems with the extc. They are built extremely well.

[@lance134679]

Yeah, this is a good idea. T-Rex is coming out with a new real tape delay pedal soon and this would be a handy way to add real tape delay to tracks. Of course, if you want to stay in the box, something like the Helix Native VST is also great for "messing stuff up" in the box.

I have been doing that for a long time. Setup an FX loop using an in and an out from my soundcard (it's got 8 ins and 8 outs, RME). And then, in Reaper, I use Rea Insert - with device latency adjustment, so FX track is aligned properly with the dry track. It works perfectly, very low latency (at 64 smpls) - even when playing guitar in real time, it's not a problem. I made loads of tests, and I never had any problems with phase. (i don't know if what i'm saying is clear enough).

[@dayzrustream]

Yeah, I've been so much inspired when combining a simple (like almost initial) preset in Vital with TSE B.O.D bass pedal emulation, I got a super-classic Drum'n'Bass bass for free and using only one FX plugin. I highly recommend trying out guitar pedals/plugins on everything else other than guitars - this could sound amazing & unique! For example, adding heavily EQ/compressed/distorted/overdriven voice in parallel could work almost like a saturation/exciter for your vocals. Using hardware pedals with real audio IN/OUT configuration could get tricky, but that might help a lot too. For example, as a mobile dj I've got T.C.Electronic M350 unit, some DBX stereo compressors and even an old Drive Rack PA, but this time I'd rather use plugins for saving my time. But for a dirty unique sound I could go with them too, and this is absolutely unlimited!

Ufff this is just what i wanted, real analog stuff!

[@Kampsy]

[@garethde-witt6433]

I can do this with Studio One with a plugin called Pipeline XT. I just take a signal out of my 18 channel interface into any analog effect including pedals and back in from the pedal. I have a Boss Gt 10-B hooked up this way. The plugin takes into account any latency from the pedal and automatically corrects it, and I can mix to my heart’s content. I do however like the look of that.

[@chromedomejunior]

It’s about extracting different flavors from gear that you might already own. I have more DAW grit than I could shake a stick at, but none of it sounds like my 18V Colorsound Powerboost clone or Source Audio Multiwave. A lot of us don’t bother using our pedals as outboard recording gear because they don’t all respond well to a straight-up line out signal and end up sounding like butt. Having a nice neat solution for phase, impedance, etc. for stereo realllly makes it easier to get it right and then all of a sudden you have [however many pedals you own] more outboard processors for the price of one interface thingie. You can always automate MIDI-equipped pedals if you still need that much retroactive power over would-be knob twiddles. Watching Ableton play with a couple of Meris pedals is the least-scary look into the future that I’ve ever experienced.

[@peterjessop1878]

Its the same reason why a lot of guitarists don't use digital pedals. Analogue devices sound different and so a bring different colour. This is especially true of Fuzz, distortion, chorus,Flange and delays. Whether you like that difference is a personal choice but is a good option to have all the same.
