Re-Amping is a reliable, clever and cheap way to get great sounding guitar recording. It’s a common technique in many top-studios and accessable via internet.
How does it work?
Guitar (decent sounding model recommended) plays the signal directly into “the box” (a.k.a. DAW) using a reamping-box, much like a DI-box. Clean signal is recorded while the processed signal (i.e. w/ distortion) is monitored, add a little reverb for the “feeling”.

Clean Signal is then later on put through one or several real amps (sometimes digital simulation – not recommended!) and cabinets, in a real studio-situation, real room, appropriate mics and all. To do so, you need again, a little Box like this one.
Pro’s:
- get pro-sounding guitar tracks from a studio without even leaving your house
- you don’t need expensive amps, cabinets, microphones or studio-like room (think damping etc.)
- you can record at neighbour-friendly volume levels
- no matter how many takes you need to perfection, studio time will only be counted like you would play first-takes only
- you can always change the sound without having to play the same track over and over
- easily lets you put your signal through several amps and cabs
- Easily add FX after recording (which is usually the best way)
