Passive reamp box5/17/2023 added a comprehensive set of measurements of Countryman type 85 active DI, Radial J48 active DI and Tritech DB-LL1 passive DI in posts #24, #25, #26 and #27. Active units usually have more consistent distortion performance, but may add noise (and obviously require a power source ) The best way for reamping is using both a reamp box and a DI box using a 2-step process: Step 1: First capture the clean signal from the guitar by using a DI box.Edcor) may not always provide sufficient noise rejection for all use-cases. About: Radial ProRMP - Passive Reamp Box Play pre-recorded tracks through amps and pedals On board level control for fine tuning amp level Transformer. Vigortronix transformers seem to be a solid budget choice. see the Vigotronix unit and the 'pro snake' cable). I have used both types and prefer the passive. The signal coming out of the DAW will be stronger than what an amp is designed to work with in the first place so there should little reason to have circuitry in the reamp box that requires an active power source. Cheaper audio transformers can still perform pretty well, but you sometimes need to be careful with input levels to keep low-frequency distortion under audible levels (e.g. For reamping out of a DAW I prefer a passive setup.Jensen units are in my experience really superb, but I also find performance of the reasonably priced Palmer unit really impressive. Usually only very expensive ones do all three really well - e.g. D.I./Reamp/Splitters Radial J48 Phantom Powered Active DI Box Radial JD6 Six Channel Rackmount DI Box Radial JDI Duplex Stereo Passive DI Box Radial JDI. I mainly grade audio transformers based on a) maximum input, b) LF distortion and c) noise rejection performance. In extreme cases of input overload/saturation we also see low-frequency FR deviations. realize that recording engineers not only Reamp guitars, but often Reamp bass. The Radial ProRMP is a 100 passive Reamper. Radial Engineering ProRMP Studio Re-Amper Passive Re-Amping Direct Box. All transformers I tested show rising low-frequency distortion. Few realize that recording engineers not only Reamp guitars, but often Reamp bass. However if you are reamping out through real amps you will need a reamp box ('reverse DI') and possibly also a volume pedal if your reamp box does not have an attenuation pot.Here's a few takeaways based on my experience so far: I've been looking into the performance of audio transformers and DI boxes for many years now, since I use them for various sound production and live performance use-cases.
