hmm thanks for the tips. i THINK i get it. if i'm using a passive DI box that outputs mic level i'd probably want to use something else? i greatly appreciate the suggestions - all this +4/-10db active/passive stuff is still a little bit confusing at this stage. given the toys listed below, what would you guys do to get the best possible signal/noise ratio from a typical passive-pickup electric guitar? 1. radial pro passive DI box 2. rolls red square "exciter" (an active DI) 3. two art tube mp preamps - (toyed with the idea of splitting into the two pre's and bumping the gain but wondering if that might unnecessarily complicate/color the sound) 4. mackie 2408 mixer 5. pod xt i was going to use the pod just before the recording interface as the virtual 'amp' but if getting a clean line level signal is the way to go maybe i should just use it to split the mono guitar signal into the two echoplexes. thanks again, you guys rule. --- mark sottilaro <zerocrossing2001@yahoo.com> wrote: > Yeah, putting your guitar into some sort of stereo > processor is the way to go, you'll get much better > results, also when you turn a signal into a line > level > (as these usually do) you'll be less apt to pick up > noise along the way. > > Mark > > --- Bob Amstadt <bob@amstadt.com> wrote: > > > Personally, I run my bass into a Lexicon MPX G2 > and > > then take the stereo > > output from that. > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
