treating DIs before re-amping? help please...

[dan weapon]

To re-amping pros out there:

I normally get decent results re-amping. I always track tight performances, through new strings/decent pickups.
However the DIs I have got for this latest project were recorded quite a while back, with a pretty cheapish guitar and they aren't re-amping that great.

They are still workable, but not as good as the DIs I am used to.

Now I know it's all about getting tight performances through decent gear in the first places. I don't need that drilled into me. But these aren't bad enough to spend hours worth re-recording an entire albums worth of guitar takes.

So does anyone here EQ/compress/do something amazingly magic etc to DIs before putting them through the re-amp box?

I sometimes take an EQ to the low mids if its coming through quite stuffy through the amp. Never touch the mids/highs personally but yeah, don't be afraid to give it the treatment. You can also try MB compression on the DI.

Well, what is the problem with them in the first place? Too dull?

I once used melodyne on DIs to improve the timing. Can help with sloppy played material.
