I also tried using a DI box backwards to sort of reamp (using pedals). Its a cheap trick that I learned online years back and it works for those like me that cant afford the radial reamp box. Thanks for the vid mate!
Bro I've got 3 of the EVH heads up at the studio, I love them so much lol. Can get a blues tone on channel 1 when driving it, or roll the gain way back on channel 2 and get the same, or fucking drive that channel 3 into oblivion and go full metal! Cheers for the tips too man, I'm currently not reamping as I am mostly digital, but will be in future!
Hey man thanks for the tutorial! Quick question...can't you just record the signal via an audio interface (Focusrite in my case) using a vst. Then bypass the vst to get the dry signal and then go through the reamp box into a real amp? I'm just wondering why there's the need for the di box as well. Cheers!
The di box is so I can recapture the clean signal and then line it back up with the original in my DAW - sometimes to trip out and back in can have some latency
Could you technically do this with drums (i.e. kick or snare)? I saw another video of someone doing this through a 500 series EQ and it was gnarly. Either way, this was extremely informative!
Rhys, thanks for your exceptional videos. I'm a novice at this, you have really helped me ground my understanding of audio engineering a bit! I appreciate your video on reamping guitars because I've been having trouble getting this to work for myself. I cannot get the DI signal through to my amp in mono when I switch the output. I use Logic > apollo twin > radial x-amp > guitar amp. I select mono output 3 in Logic, press play and no signal passes through. When I switch back to stereo output, only the left side of signal plays through the amp (so, I know my connections are good). The signal is getting held up somewhere and I cannot figure it out in Logic! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Thanks mate! Oh that’s odd… sounds like you’ve done everything right. So if you change it to output 3-4 it runs to the reamp box but not in mono output 3?Could it be the I/O matrix in the Apollo? It’s hard to say without being there to troubleshoot it
Hey there, I’m trying to re amp some dry signal guitar tracks , with that same reamp box but I ain’t got no luck , you said the cable that goes from the computer is trs to xlr, and that’s exactly what I have and used , but then is t it be Ts as it’s a mono signal? , the. I tried with a regular instrument cable plugin from output to the input in front of the reamp box and it works I get to hear the amp reamping , but anytime I try to send it back to the computer sounds very crappy , something in doing wrong and I’m getting frustrated …. Can you help me?
@@spinlightstudios yes and it works fine it goes to the amp , but I try 2 different options to te amp , one with a mic in front of of the amp that foto the input , and I get a lot of feedback and sounds terrible, then the other option is I use captor 8 torpedo to use cabinet simulators from the wall of sound software , and no luck sounds really bad , so I’m definitely doing something wrong
How come you are sending the signal through a di box before the amp? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the reamp box cause you’re switching from lo z output on your interface to hi z back to low z.
Hey mate, I’m quite certain the “thru” doesn’t effect the signal in any way, the output of the J48 would be lo-z but the thru would still be hi-z from the reamp box. If you watched the full video I explain the necessity of the DI box in the reamp stage.
I thought that the DI box was redundant until you brought up getting this back in time with the original recording. Thanks
Thanks mate! Always little tricks to help!
Great video answering multiple key questions i had as a beginner. Top notch stuff. Thanks!

That sounds cool man! Thanks for sharing the tip!
You’re the man! Thanks you sir!
No problem man!

It’s my favourite amp hey! So versatile 😍
Thanks for vid! why would you double track a reamped signal? With different settings from the amp? nice one

@@spinlightstudioseven more confusing is there can be some latency between the di and the mics too

Yeah absolutely, you can reamp anything and get creative haha

How hot do you make the output di before it hits the Reamp box?
Mmm that’s a tricky one. I just experiment until it sounds good

Are you sending the guitar signal through an output on your interface?
