DACCAPO : Best passive reamp box

11 years ago

Why a reamp box?

It was my first thought that using a passive DI-box "backward" will do the job (which is in most cases absolutly right). But since I wanted to experiment with different input gain settings on my amplifier without changing so much inside my DAW, a reamp box absolutly made sense.

(Using a high gain channel with less input signal can make a pretty good "cranked up" amp sound).

The DACCAPO has a very little influence on the sound, way lesser than a crosschecked active box. Maybe on high input amplitudes, the boy will not clip because it's passive.

The reamp box might be a gimmick, still, but a gimmick I don't want to miss now.
