I am a genius

[RedDog]

I just used my Marshall MG head as a ghetto DI box. In through the fx return, out through the line out. Totally discovered by accident.

You may now flame me for owning an MG. :hotjump:

Sounds like that would color the signal a lot.

 

[AllanD]

My 50w vox sounded louder and better than the 100W MG both cranked to max

I charge extra when I have to repair someone's MG series.

I got an MG as a gift once. It's been in the trunk of my car for probably a year now.

The amp and matching cab sound like shit. I usually have to totally dime all mids and bass to get rid of that nasty sizzle shit. But I'd never tried to record it direct. So, one day I figured I'd get some nasty sizzle out of it and throw an impulse in front of it like I would Lecto. Well, I mixed up the cables, ended up plugging into the fx return, and out the line out (I know. Wtf, right?) and straight into the microphone in on this laptop. I used the Loop mix control for gain and it actually came out usable.

And there will be a clip soon.


One ghetto mix with DFH and ghetto bass. (Yeah, I'm hardcore cheap right now)

sell the Marshall to buy a good DI?

 

[Soundlurker]

I doubt you're getting the right impedance at the fx out or fx in, certainly not at both.

Guitars sound fine to me. Through iPod earbuds, of course.

What part of ghetto did you not understand? Ha!!

Those guitars have a 'Nightmares Made Flesh' Bloodbath type of vibe to them. To my ears anyway. hah. Awesome!

midi drums ftw. the riffs here were cool.

The guitars were just TS, Nick Crow's Wagner Sharp, and LeCab with a couple God's Cab impulses. Eventually I shall post (in the mix section)an updated version with either TSE x30 or the 8505 ampsim. I just can't believe I could have used a stupid MG head as a ghetto DI box. I've had the damn thing for like 2 years and this is the best thing I can use it for.

Thank you for the compliments on the riffs, by the way. It means a lot.
