i love negative rep
i'm going to try and post this one more time, it keeps telling me that this is a duplicate thread, but it's not and the fun has just about gone out of it now.

the I woke up with a fat chick guitar sound

ever do this?

set up a git sound (distorted)...... it rules
mic up the cab..... sounds like butter
record the track..... goes down smooth
listen to it the next day.... what the hell was i thinking, that sounds like crap

it sounded like a good idea at the time
dammit
 
No all of the guitars that I record sound awesome :)

Everyone can have a bad day. The b*tch is when you had a killer performance and can't get that back. To get around this if I'm not 100% sold on a guitar sound, I will run it through a direct box and record the raw signal on another track. That way it can be re-amped at a later date if you want to change the sound, amp, or even edit the performance and re-feed.

OK, this idea absolutely BLOWS ME AWAY!! Can you run this direct out to a guitar cab and re-mic it, or are you talking about a digital modeler???

I'm talking about a direct out to the amp and re-micing it. Basically all that you need to do is to match impedence between the direct out of the DAW and your amp. You can do this by taking a passive DI box and pluging it in backwards. The direct out of the DAW goes to the direct output of the DI, the guitar input of the DI goes to the guitar input of you amp. Sounds weird but it works. Also keep the output from the DAW at a low level and gradually raise it until you get the level that you want to the amp.
