hey guys,
i got a problem with my little labs redeye. The output signal from the redeye seems to be too low in comparison to the original signal level and the background noise is higher than by non-reamping. i use a passive guitar and somewhere i've read that the redeye is not the best choice for these guitars?! But if thats true i don't know why. I recorded some samples to show what i mean. some older redeyes might have not a pad switch like mine which is explained in the manual as this "Pad is an internal push switch reachable by a thin screwdriver to select the reamp in pad for +4dBm line level sources (pad in) default. Pad outwill give you an extra 6dB of gain if needed which would be rare"
The outputlevel in my daw and my audiointerface (Edirol UA-25EX) are at maximum. also the level knob at the redeye and i also set the pad switch to extra 6dB and thats not enoug output to achieve the same outputlevel as the normal guitar i used for the DI.
When i exclude the redeye from the signalpath while reamping ( going direkt from the interface into the amp) the signal level is as it should be, but the impedances are wrong now and the result is much more background noise.
whats going on with my redeye? do other redeye user have the same behaviour? or do i something wrong? i use normal balanced xlr-cable and an insturment cable to connect the redeye to the interface and the amp.
cheers
