Is It Possible to re-amp without re-amp box?

[ToE MoFo]

I just got an apogee duet and i was saving up for a LL Red Eye when i noticed i can change the output of Duet to Instrument??

Im sure it will work, but is it going to damage my precious 5150?
Thanks!

An impedance mismatch won't damage anything, it just might sound shit, try er out and see!

slightly OT: sacha can you use the axe fx as a di box by using just shunts only into analog input of interface? i remember reading cliff saying that its fine this way but wanna know your thoughts? will a real DI box sound better?

 

[Sacha]

Yes you can but I haven't tried it myself, I have a DI / reamp box already set up so I just use that.

I remember a time in this studio once. The guy basically reamped through his monitor controller, carefully setting the level, but he also recorded the DI with a 500K input load. I haven't run the numbers, but it might make sense now. It didn't sound bad or anything.

Let us know for sure dude. I've been wanting to learn how to reamp but don't want to spend $200 on a good reamp box.

Someone on youtube reamps using a tubescreamer.

Funny, I haven't really been able to use mine much- or at full volume really... I'm getting a very large about of buzz/hum whenever I plug that into the chain. I was able to eliminate a good amount by plugging everything into my pro900, but as soon as I put the ts9 in the chain in any order the recorded signal is almost unusable... Which is essentially why I bought my X-Amp because I thought it may have been a problem with my Firestudio's outs and the output of the cables themselves.
