Re-AMPING Question

You want to record the amp at the same time as the di? This isn't re-amping. What you need is a DI box, connect the thru output from the DI to your amp and connect the balanced xlr output to the mic input on your Eridol.

Yes you need a DI box for the recording, and a Reamp box for the reamp. Or you can get away with just a reamp box if you can route the in of your card to the out directly without much latency.

I am not experienced at reamping and haven't ever tried reamper boxes. So this topic is very interesting for me too.
I reamped few times and just took unbalanced out from my M-Audio Projectmix to the amp, just lowered output by few dBs. I compared the sound with pluging guitar directly to the amp on clean channel. The level was the same and the sound was almost the same. So is there any point to use reamper box? Does it REALLY affect sound?
I know that the best way to find that out is to get reamper and just compare. But they are hard to find at my place...

PS: Sorry for my bad English... =)

Reampers usually provides you with transformer isolation to reduce hum and ability to use much longer cables (balanced) from interface to reamper, also reampers provide proper balanced-unbalanced connection with higher output impedance. But soundwise ghetto-reamping (straight from interface) is very close, but just transformer isolation and balanced-unbalanced conversion alone is convenient things or reampers.
In Russia Radial`s units can be found there: http://slami.ru/netcat/modules/catalog/GRP30132
There is thread on russian forum (in russian) about reampers and reamping:

deLuther, thanks for the links!
Hum can be a problem sometimes so I'll try to get reamper and compare results.

At least popular E-Mu interfaces (in Russia, at least) seems to have noise problem with ghetto-reamping.

So I need to get a RE-AMP box, plug the OUTPUTs of my soundcard in it and record ?

Any suggestion for a re-amp box I could order at my music store?

Cheap but good, Palmer daccapo. Expensive but top quality, get a Radial

Namely Radial JCR, I think?
Because ProRMP also inexpensive like Daccapo, X-Amp, well, it drops level like ProRMP, but can not be modified like ProRMP to avoid level reduction.

Guitar -> Edirol's Input X -> DAW track 1 (use some ampsim plugin to monitor what you are playing/recording)

DAW Track 1 -> Output -> Reampbox -> Amp -> Mic-> Edirol's Input X -> DAW Track 2

About reampbox I own a radial RMPpro recently modded and works fine.

400$ are you kidding me !
You said pricey, I expected a big 75$, but 400 ?

I'll make one myself lol

Hahahaha you get what you pay for dude, although I do recommend Palmer for a good cheap alternative, it won't be better than a 400$ Radial reamp box
