#Reamp box vs di box plus
It is equipped with 6 guitar amp outputs on the front panel plus a 7th on the rear. JD7 Injector is not only a Reamper, but and all-in-one guitar distro, direct box and Reamp.It is able to run two amps at the same time giving it tons of extra flexibility. It is active with a transformer isolated output. X-Amp is the most popular Reamper made today and has become a studio standard around the world.It is passive, does not require power and has the warm tone associated with a top-end transformer. It is legendary in that it has been instrumental for artists as diverse as Joe Satriani and the Rolling Stones. Reamp JCR is the world’s most famous Reamper.Being completely passive, the ProRMP does not require any power to work, making it plug & play easy to use. The ProRMP is ideally suited for the project studio where occasional Reamping is planned.Active Reampers like the X-Amp and JD7 need external power. With the JD7 you can, of course, drive as many as 7 amps at the same time. The tangible advantage with the X-Amp is the two separate outputs: you can drive two amps at the same time. But considering that the signal coming from the recording system is already buffered, there is argument if this really provides any major benefit. The benefit with a buffer tends to be a more consistent tone when the gain is lowered. This is because the active buffer will not load the source as much as a passive circuit. This is somewhat the same as comparing a condenser mic versus a dynamic mic: the condenser tends to sound brighter. Buffers tend to be big and more ‘glassy’ sounding. The output is then either direct or transformer coupled to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops. The Reamp JCR will handle more level than the ProRMP and, of course, is the original that was used by so many great artists and engineers over the past decade.Īctive Reampers like the X-Amp and JD7 Injector use buffers or unity gain amplifiers to drive the signal. This is because transformers saturate as opposed to distorting the way that active circuits do. You can hit them with more signal and they will handle it without distortion. The original Reamp JCR employs a special custom wound USA-made transformer with MuMETAL® can for extra shielding while the ProRMP employs a more affordable version. The Reamp JCR and the ProRMP are both passive. In other words, a single transformer does the job of unbalancing the signal, converting the impedance and isolating the recording system from the guitar amp to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops. The original Reamp was and continues to be a passive device.
Here we look at the various Reampers™ that we make and break it down in a nice convenient comparative study. Like I said - I'll probably bite the bullet and just buy a box but I just wanted to know from the experts what options I have.Choosing the right Reamp® for your studio depends on your sonic taste, budget and how you intend to use the device. I don't pretend to be an expert on this stuff but whther it is -10db or +4db, I think it will still result in a rolloff of the high end sending a low impedance signal into a guitar amp meant for a high impedance input. I am aware that -10db is consumer level and I think the idea was to lower the level going into the amp, but I don't think that addresses any impedance mismatching. Not sure if I can call sweetwater from Canada without a charge. It looks like exactly what I need- and they actually make them here in town (vancouver -canada) which I just found out.īy the way- I don't work for this company- if anyone can steer me in the direction of any other units that are better/cheaper/you've used with good results- please, by all means let me know. I just may buy one of those devices- in my other post I mentioned this one. I'd rather not spend the money on a device built specifically for that if I don't have to I've also heard I could just switch the output on the delta1010 to -10db and it will be fine. I know they make such devices but I was told by a sales guy the local store that I could just use a regular DI box but the exact reverse of how you'd normally convert your guitar signal to line level. A DI box converts an unbalanced instrument-level signal to a balanced mic-level signal for an audio interface and mixing console, but a re-amp box will convert a balanced line-level signal to an unbalanced instrument-level signal. The way I understand it is I need to "step down" the line level signal to a low level-high impedance instrument level in order not to worst case -fry the input on the amp or possibly get some signal loss. A re-amp box is often confused with a DI box, but in addition to recording the DI, a re-amp box allows you to take that DI and send it back through a guitar amp or a pedal chain. Send my already recorded dry guitar tracks (recorded using DI box) back out from my delta 1010 into a guitar amp. Maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly but it seems pretty clear to me. I posted in the techniques forum but not one reply.
