Reamping questions

[Talmaci]

Hi, guys!
Some days ago I got my reamp box and started reamping practice.
First, I wanted to reamp my bogner uberschall->mesa 4x12".
I really like the saturated sound of the uberschall with massive low end, but when I plugged the cable from reamp box into my uber, it lost all the crushing bass and low end. Too much middle and less saturated tone.
I put the level on my soundcard to the max as well as on the Radial ProRMP reamp box.

I'm sure that all the settings on my amp are ok, like in this clip by Lammert:

I'm also using Mesa 4x12 and one SM57. Furthermore, I asked Lammert about the mic placement and put my SM57 in the same position. But... It still sounds much thinner and flatter...

That's how my reamped Bogner sounds like

Are you plugin everything in the correct way? Input to output level?

 

[Talmaci]

I plugin it in that way: Cubase (DI levels' peacks - no more than -3dB) -> Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Output (Maximal level) -> Radial ProRMP Input -> Radial ProRMP Output (Maximal level) -> Bogner Ubershcall Rev Blue (Setting are the same as in the clip) -> Mesa Rectifier 4x12" -> Shure SM57 (Placement the same as in the clip) -> Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Input (No clipping, -3dB levels of the reamped guitars) -> Cubase

PS: Sorry I posted incorrect video. Now it's edited.

Here is my uber recorded playing - https://soundcloud.com/talmaci/riffsandbeards2
No reamp.
Don't know where is the low end in the reamped track...

Radial Pro RMP doesn't give you unity gain stock. You can do a really simple mod to correct it:

I had the same problem with a Radial X Amp.
Changed to a Palmer daccappo and got perfect gain levels without having to turn everything up full.

If you have the option, send back the radial and get a daccapo.

^ +1. I sold my xamp for a daccapo and had much better results since then.

Thank you very much for the help.
I noticed that ProRMP is also affecting the tone: steals low end and gives ugly midrange. Is it true?

 

[Trevoire520]

To be honest I've never noticed any real tonal difference when reamping,

Modded ProRMP have more flat response. Still now I`m often using my preamp (Digilab SPM-100) for conversion between balanced signal and unbalanced (i.e. as reamper) instead of ProRMP.
Even with modded ProRMP (and any other 1 to 1 reamper) you can barely reproduce levels of EMG pickups (normalized to 0 dbFS) with 2i2, some amplification capable device is needed.

The problem was hidden in the lack of bass guitar in the backingtrack)))
Thank you very much, guys!
