![]() ![]() ![]() more likely I'm sending vocals or drums out for a crazy effect. I have a couple of Radial reamps, the blue ones. Technically the Little Labs PCP or "Pro to Cheesy Pedal" was the first ever reamp/impedance box available in the 90s that wasn't custom built. It can't because there's several stages of electronics there.īoth Little Labs and Radial make quality stuff. guitar > DI > preamp > A/D converter > DAW > D/A converter > line amp > reamp box > guitar amp.Īin't no way that's ever going to sound the same as guitar > cable > amp. And to dilute things even further ALL reamping is technically buffered, active technology. It is very easy to noise gate a DI guitar track with the signal-to-noise ratio that is there.Īgreed. I add a noise gate on the recorded DI track so what goes to the amp is very quiet when not playing. Honestly, I feel fine using either DI, but given the choice I take the J48 just based on the advice of using active DI for passive signals. You always have the opportunity to add processing to the DI track in your DAW before it goes out. Plus, the JDI will roll off a touch more of the high frequencies giving a warmer response in the amp than your guitar would. but if the signal strength needs to be boosted because passive-passive can be a bit below were you need, then you end up boosting elsewhere and that also could add to the noise floor. The difference you will find between them, apart for the obvious level differences, is that the J84 will have a higher noise floor and will better preserve the high frequencies. ![]() It's going to work just fine if you go either route. Along with the J48 I also have a JDI (I have many more DI's but those are the two that see the most work). That's the classic Radial setup and what I have. I also think it has less output compared to the JCR (maxed.) I have confirmed neither suspicion with measurement though. Choose the X-Amp for a more neutral "solid state" sound and the JCR for the more transformer colored tone: If you are looking for an alternative to the JCR or DAV, I think the Radial X-Amp is it.
