Man, I’m struggling with this issue right now. I just bought a Fender Reverb Deluxe amp and I absolutely just LOVE the sound of that real plate on it and I’m just waiting on my Royer R-10 to come in later today for me to start recording my new song. I also have an awesome plate Reverb plugin through Universal Audio as as well as a Lexicon 480L plugin from UA and even though I’ve been great with those effects, the real thing just gives me goosebumps. I know mixing is easier if I add it in after the performance and all but a lot of great albums were tracked wet. I guess I’ll see what happens when my mic comes in. Great video and great advice. Thank you.
Im same way Ive got reverb pedal that will do spring hall plate fuck knows what else. if i record guitar dry now means that ive got spend time messing around plugins as i was with my pedalboard XD
So far I prefer to record with my own pedals, at least with the basic distortion and delay, as I agree that it sounds more authentic. However, I could really use some advice on how to avoid any or at least most excess noise that comes with using pedals into a DI. Thanks!
See if there is a ground lift knob on your DI box. Another thing to consider is how long your cables are. Guitar cables are unbalanced and the longer they are the more chance they will pick up noise. You are turning your unbalanced connection into a balanced connection with the DI box, so the xlr can be longer running into your pre. Also check your gain staging going into the preamp and DAW. You don't want to be be clipping going in, try and keep the level around -12 RMS. That should help with your signal to noise ratio. It isn't as fun playing at low volumes so if you have to crank your headphone amp (but be careful of your ears!)
Hey Matthew. I was just following up with you to see if any of the suggestions I gave were helpful or if you are still experiencing problems. Hope you are doing well and making awesome music!
Hi Mathew and Brad. I've actually been looking for an answer with this specific layout in recording guitars. I also encounter buzz noises when using my zoom g3xn. But I think my setup lacks more stuff than Mathew. So just to clarify, here's my setup: Guitar>Zoom g3xn pedalboard>maudioC400 audio interface>PC Do i only need a DI box to place before the audio interface? Or do i need a preamp as well to remove the noise? By the way there is no noise when using just the guitar (without the effects pedal)

The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
