ART Dual RDB 5-stars Reviews

Very good items. After a huge strom still working a good!

Re-amping is easy

I've reamped before with ordinary DI-boxes opposite combined with preamps and building some jigs to fit the occasion - every effect pedal and amp has it's own vagaries. For example using non-true bypass FX-pedal after turned around passive DI (tricky cabling) and then feeding it into actually desired effect pedal and/or amp.

ART Dual RDB is very obvious on how to use, it is stereo! Or dual. You can adjust the level on the device, very handy feature. No power source, it is passive. Minimum wiring is needed. Personally I do not really believe the story behind ultra-expensive reamping devices. If you are reamping for full band mix, it really makes no audible difference. The only idea behind it is to match the impedances of instrument amplifier's input and line-signal's output.

I have few other ART DI boxes and they have not failed me. The construction is simple, what's there to fail?

Very useful studio tool

This is an excellent product for reamping and for connecting any kind of device (mixer, computer, synth etc.) to a guitar amp, offering the best feature/price ratio. I do not have other reamp devices to compare it to but connectivity-wise it is excellent, offering two channels and both balanced xlr and imbalanced jack connectors.

I also found out that the quality of the connected device plays an important role on the noise at the output of this reamp DI; When I connected a cheap drum computer with a noisy PSU this created annoying noise at the output the ART, nevertheless the noise went away when I connected through my mixer. Thus perhaps the problem that a negative reviewer had in the past was because of the connected device and not the reamp DI itself.

Best value re-amp box out there

This box does twice as much as its competitors for around a third of the price. I am a pro mix engineer and this box allows me to process anything through guitar and bass amps like they are outboard, but without the horrible high-end and dynamic loss that occurs when interfaced from a line out. Really well built and pretty transparent you can even do stereo amping from a single DI'd guitar for that giant post-rock sound. Thsi box even allows re-amping through preamps for a bit of analogue crunch whilst maintaining original tonality. Could be my best accessory purchase in years, nice.
