Just wondering if anyone has had any luck reamping a clean direct guitar signal from a DAW to a Firepod out to an amp miced up?? I know a reamp box is essentially a reverse DI box but is it possible to go out of ch 1 or 2 outs on the firepod directly to the amp?? anytime ive used a reamp box its just added unnecessary noise to the signal...
Anyone reamped with a Firepod?

ive reamped using firepod. . got excellent results as far as im concerned. the noise you are mentioning could be resolved with the ground lift.
i was initially surprised how good reamping sounds, initially i was skeptical of the concept

no used the radial reamp box, but have had surprising results with a shitty beringer di used in reverse as well. i plug direct into the instrument input on the firepod

The outputs you are talking about are line outputs. The firepod has no instrument outs, which is what you need.
I tried it before I knew anything about reamping, and all it did was add a ton of noise and generally not sound good. Gotta get your impedance levels right with the reamp box.

sorry i misread the first post... doh
I would never consider going out of output 1 and 2 directly into an amp as that would obviously sound like ass

Yes.
I use a cuniberti reamp box. If you engage the lift switch on the reamp box though you get more noise.

Yea i wasn't sure if the outs of ch 1 + 2 were instrument level when using the inputs of 1 + 2 as a DI/instrument level input on the Firepod... Thanks for the replies Ill have to pick up a reamp box then...

Krank it UP!
That would be great, but unfortunately they are not.
I use an X-amp with the Firepod and don't have any noise issues, etc... FWIW.

Yep. I use a 1/4" TRS to XLR adaptor (since Firepod outputs are 1/4" balanced) then an XLR cable to the X-Amp.
should the cable from your interface to the reamp box be balanced? i would assusme so, but its not easy finding a quarter inch to xlr balanced cable, because it is the male xlr that you need.

I use the same cable to connect my monitors to the firepod.
thanks bra.
I have a a cable like that. maybe it is balanced... i assumed it wasnt but when you assume you make an ass out of you and me... or in this case just me
cheers

Ah cheers man I didn't mean to come off as sounding like "WTF RU retarded".
But yeah you want balanced cable.
