While I of course plan to do trials of different ways of doing this I was wondering when reamping all your electric guitars who had a preference for
1. Getting the guitar about as distorted and EQ'd as you want it on the way in and reamping that with a fairly "flat" setting on the amp versus -
2. Staying fairly clean and flat on the way in and then getting your desired sound from the amp (and mic positioning/pre-amp etc)
I would imagine both options would have their place.....
I am currently working on an original song that would be hard to really get into playing clean so I recorded everything so far with Tele > SansAmp Pedal > JM VC6Q and into my Yamaha AW16G with the guitars as close to the sound I want to end up with as I could get...I did not even have a guitar amp for a while until yesterday and picked up a Roland Cube 30 for recording.
Perhaps I will record the three guitar tracks fairly clean as virtual tracks to A/B the two approaches using my Radial X-amp for the reamping and do one mix of each method.
Anyone been down this fork in the road?
