Pedal board split signal path11/7/2022 ![]() ![]() Spend the time getting the amp settings correct and you will be much happier. The clean recorded amp sound also works fine with VST's and things.īut the moment the amp sound is distorted (or effected) in any way then the DI signal becomes rather important and useful. I have just done a bunch of guitar tracks and I have found if the guitar is plugged direct to the amp and the amp is very clean sounding you don't even need the DI signal from the guitar either. Sometimes the effects straight out will sound better than the amped sound with the effects. (First DI) A second track straight out of the effects units but before the amp (using a second DI) and the third the miced amp sound. One straight out of the guitar as mentioned. If a guitarist has got an array of effects pedals before the amp, a good approach is to record three tracks. In most situations you only need a DI and the mic signal in front of the amp. But Mikes approach also shows a bass guitar not a guitar and for bass I could imagine that would be a nice setup) Sometimes with guitar the shortest most direct route is the best option. (It also implies you want the sound of a preamp in line to the guitar amp and in many cases it is not required or preferred. Mikes approach while good is a bit over complicated. Use phantom power as well where ever you can with a DI. The high input impedance of the DI box will have no effect on the guitar sound back to the amp. Make sure the output that feeds the amp is in direct parallel to the input signal and there won't be any degradation. Use a good quailty DI and active at that. ![]()
