Yes, garlic! Garlic's my favourite food.

When you record the dry guitar signal through a DI, the DI ups the level with a preamp. The re-amp box will lower the level again and match the impedance so it's more like a signal coming from a guitar.

I'm thinking maybe here: https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/mixing-techniques/guide-mixing-vocals-how-eq-compress-use-effects-380615/ Fella got banned by Jimmy.

You might call it your "to go" eq.

Do you have direct monitoring coming out of your monitors while you're recording? Maybe you're hearing the DI guitar and the amp sim, then when you play back it's just the amp sim. If your interface has a playback and input mix knob, try turning it to playback only.

I wonder why a pro mix engineer is on a home recording forum asking about what eq we use. But then I see the link in the signature...

I have 16GB, but hardly ever go over 4GB used. Remember that Apple kindly solder all RAM in so you...

Yeah, ReaEq.

That's exactly what I'm after. I wouldn't know what particular sound I want - I just want to be able to play a couple of notes from the current chord and add some wah to make me sound better than I am.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Looks like the 535Q is getting a lot of love round these parts, I'll probably have a look at that.

I'm itching to try one as well!

Cool, thanks for the tip, Miro. That looks awesome. It's a bit pricier, but not stupid expensive like some of the signature models.
