Ah got it. I can't stand direct acoustic, but certainly realize that stance does apply to everyone and every situation.
I'm sorry I don't of another box off hand. I'm sure there is something out there.
 
I would be willing to post an example of a reamped guitar track and a regular guitar track using the same amp settings/mic/guitar etc...

I'm willing to bet nobody could tell the difference.

Nobody's talking about whether you can hear the difference or not. But go ahead and post all the examples you want. :D
 
You should try doubling the kick before you reamp it. Unless you have a vocal booth, of course.
 
I don't really have anything for or against re-amping cause I'm really apathetic about stuff, but I can't believe no one has made what is the most important point (to me)... When I record a hot amp while playing and recording it live with a mic, the amp interacts with the guitar as I move closer to or further from the amp. There is a symbiotic relationship - at the edge of feedback the amp is dynamically interacting with and altering the characteristics of the guitar which in turn affects what's coming out of the amp. I don't see how recording a DI guitar and re-amping it later can possibly do this.

I wanna hear, and I wanna see ChuckDuffy tell us which one has the "symbiotic relationship" of the guitar and amp doing whatever he's talking about.

OK I used the word symbiotic, so freaking shoot me - but dude - you seriously don't know what I'm talking about? The relationship between a guitar and amplifier when the system is on the edge of feedback? I don't know how you capture THAT with a DI signal.
 
Yes, I do, but I had to Google symbiotic so I couldn't resist trying to make you do some work, too :p

Sky Blue Lou and I made that point already. :D

Well - i saw you guys talk about the it being an integral part of the performance, and key for inspiration, and tube response, etc. but i gotta admit i read all that and still started to think 'am i retarded' I can't be the only person where controlled feedback, position and movement (sometimes by inches) is a huge part of the sound - and I didn't see how re-amping could possibly capture - for example a guitar 'singing' when your not actually doing anything, or bell like harmonics with feedback over the top. But then again I've never re-amped.

You speak with a lot of authority for someone who has never re-amped. ;)

Coming off like a know it all (is it ever anyones intent?). When I wrote 'But then again I've never re-amped.' it was basically an admission that in one regard I don't know what I'm talking about. I just honestly didn't see how a DI signal can capture what I described in my post.

I think you and I are on the exact same page. I was taken to task for it two days ago (see post #53).
 
This entire re-amping thread has been interesting.
I broke down and bought a Radial Eng. Pro RMP yesterday. My living situation isn't favorable for micing up amps while people are home, and it's hard to force creativity when I get time alone. Sometimes, I'm happy just to have the peace & quiet.

I do believe the lack of interaction with a live guitar is relevant, but we'll see how this goes.

All that is what I was talking about.

Will that box go both ways, ie. split a direct signal off a guitar input and also take a recording/playback interface out to an amp?
