Judging by the amount of great feedback I receive for this video you guys seems to like it a lot but, for some reason, it goes almost unnoticed for the infamous "algorithm" of KZfaq. So if you liked it and want to help me, please share it with your musicians friends, on social media, Reddit, etc. and show KZfaq that it's worth reccommending. Thanks A LOT!!

I was thinking I would have to get a reamp box until I saw this thank you so much

I watch a lot of home recording vids and this has never come up. Great content and excellent delivery. Many thanks.

THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH. I have been toiling over this problem for weeks and i just KNEW that there had to be solution utilizing equipment that i already own. my question is though, why doesn't anyone else seem to know about this? I have tried asking so many experienced people how to solve this problem and they all had literally no idea. I was literally about to buy a new interface and a passive reamp so you just saved me like 350 dollars and i am very grateful for that. now i can use outboard effects in real time with my production while monitoring simultaneously and i can't tell you how excited I am to get started.

I was getting ready to buy a $250 reamp pedal. While researching, I came across your video and realizing I had a GE-7 sitting in a box thought i would try it. It worked perfectly! Also,. I used it in the "on" position and A/B'd my original signal and used the EQ to match my Les Paul exactly as if it was playing into the amp. Using a battery instead of the power supply seemed to give me a little cleaner sound, but maybe that is in my head. When using overdriven/distorted guitars, I leave that original clean guitar in to give the finished sound some definition. Thanks for saving me $$$$!

Wow dude, I always wanted a reamp box but never wanted to spend the money and I just so happened to have that exact Boss EQ pedal. Awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍

This works! I had a one take improvised solo on a song recorded through an amp sim, which was perfect. I bought a 9 Euro Y cable and following the instructions took it from the headphone output of my interface to my pedalboard which has a Boss TU2 tuner then to the amp. No significant noise other than normal amp noise. I was unable to monitor through my RME Babyface Pro but the results are still great Thanks so much!

This is the most important video I'll see this week. Thank you so much.

cool I've been doing that for years with great results , great video!

While I may end up buying a reamp pedal at some point, this video confirmed something major for me... there is a way to get a usable sound without the reamp box... I had done something similar and of course reading all the stuff out there (speaking of rabbit holes) had me questioning my ears. Really appreciate all the hard work... love this down-to-earth kind of thing. Thanks a ton! Just subscribed too.

Thanks buddy. Very good detailed video. I’m about to try this as I was considering buying more gear that I probably don’t need.

Awesome video! very well done, and a great bit of info for us diy'ers

Very clearly explained. Thank you!

This is a very smart and useful video. Thank you!

Beautiful job, excellent playing!

That's amazing! I was pretty sure I don't need a special reamp pedal to simply have another bass track. I will give this method a try with one of my pedals

Great Video man, made my day and saved me 400$ or more for reamp box, was researching about reamping and how you can do it and prices of these boxes ..... So thx again

clever trick matching the levels. Good job.

Was putting together a homemade reamp box then saw this video and didnt finish it....this is a secret the reamp makers dont want you to know about :-)

Excellent!! I was experimenting this afternoon with reamping, and was disappointed to find that I’d have to buy a reamp box if I wanted to do it properly - but I DO have a Boss pedal I can try it with, so it’s game on again tomorrow! Thanks for sharing this tip, and for taking the time to make such a clear video to show it in action. Great stuff.

Yo! You might have just saved me a bunch of money. Gonna try this thanks so much

Good stuff, going to try this out soon

Amazing! Thank you!

Great vídeo! Thanks from Brazil

Awesome! And this is a perfect example of how equipment manufacturers make money from us. Do you need a special reamp box? Yeah, for sure ;) Thank you Juan!

Great video and enjoyed the song as well!

Bro this is super useful thank you!

Great video - never heard of it :) gonna need to try this for sure :)

liked and subbed immediately. great video man!

Excellent video.

Nice work around it works brilliantly😊😊

Extremely well-made and *very* helpful tutorial. I was afraid I would need a "real" (read: expensive) reamp box. Thank you!

This is very impressive and you know it. Still shopping re amps but you just sold a Boss EQ. (Just picked up Warm Audio DI - incredible.)

Brilliant!

Imma try to use this as a live track feature. Hook up my Akai EIE Pro with its 4 inputs and use my 3 Boss Pedals to track my 2 guitar players and bass player while they simultaneously listen to themselves playing through the re-amp. This could work!

Amazing video!

Headphone outputs! This is the tutorial I needed. I have only two balanced outputs, but dual stereo headphone outputs.

Nice bro!!!! I will try it

Well done and great idea. I don't have the particular Graphic EQ Boss Pedal that you used, but do have a Keely Modded DS-1. I also have a IK Multimedia Z-Tone Buffer Boost pedal, which has a second identical (1/4") out as well as a balance XLR out and trs out. I am guessing the Buffer Boost pedal might work really well...(Hoping)... Phil NYC Area

If it works it works! great vid!

excelente video amigo !!

ChatGPT’s take on it: Using a guitar pedal with a built-in buffer to reamp sounds is technically possible but comes with some caveats. Here are the main points to consider: 1. **Impedance Matching**: A reamp box is specifically designed to convert the low-impedance, line-level signal from an audio interface or mixer to a high-impedance, instrument-level signal suitable for a guitar amplifier. A guitar pedal with a built-in buffer may not perform this impedance matching as effectively, potentially resulting in a less accurate or desirable sound. 2. **Level Adjustment**: Reamp boxes often include level controls to properly match the signal level to what a guitar amp expects. A typical guitar pedal with a buffer might not offer the same level of control, leading to signal level mismatches that could affect the sound quality. 3. **Noise and Ground Loop Isolation**: Reamp boxes typically have features to minimize noise and ground loop issues, which can be a significant problem when interfacing different pieces of audio equipment. A guitar pedal with a buffer might not provide the same level of isolation, potentially introducing unwanted noise. 4. **Signal Path Considerations**: Guitar pedals, even with buffers, are designed to work within a pedalboard setup and might not handle the line-level signals from an audio interface as cleanly as a dedicated reamp box. This could lead to signal degradation or other audio artifacts. **Practical Use Case**: - If you're in a pinch and don't have a reamp box available, you can try using a guitar pedal with a buffer. Place the pedal at the end of the signal chain from your audio interface, and then route the output to your guitar amp. However, be prepared to deal with potential issues related to impedance, signal levels, and noise. **Better Alternative**: - For consistent and high-quality results, investing in a dedicated reamp box is recommended. Reamp boxes like the Radial ProRMP or the Little Labs Redeye are specifically designed for this purpose and will ensure the best possible sound when reamping. In summary, while a guitar pedal with a built-in buffer can be used as a makeshift reamp solution, it may not provide the same quality and reliability as a dedicated reamp box.

Bruh.... Thank you!!

That's bloody brilliant

funciona excelente mi hermano gracias!

Great video! Would be interested to hear a "low gain" example -- wondering if the distortion of the amp is helping to mask some flaws in the buffer of the Boss pedal? Also would love to see a re-amp shootout between this Boss pedal and a "real" re-amp box like the EXTC from Radial!

Muy buen vídeo!!! Great job. Thanks for the info and explanations.

Además de lo interesante de los videos, el mate de fondo fue el empujón final para el Subscribe. MUy genial lo que haces.

Thanks mate !!

Awesome video! I guess then that technically you can use any pedal that has a buffered input, not just Boss. I'm going to give this a try with my Polytune 3 noir!

Hey there, thank you so much for the video. I have a question for you that is slightly off-topic but has to do with what you’re saying. I am playing an acoustic guitar through a TC helicon play acoustic pedal. The Pedal does not have a guitar through but has an XLR DI guitar out. I want to run into a boss OC three, then into a NUX Atlantic, and then into a boss RC 500 after the play acoustic pedal… Then run it into my mixer. I am on a forum right now trying to figure out if I need an impedance transformer coming out of the play acoustic which outputs at around 300/150 ohms from the XLR direct out. My question: If I got a female XLR to 1/4” TS cable, would the first boss Pedal I run it into after my play acoustic pedal work the same as a Lo-Z to Hi-Z transformer?

Excelente hermano gracias!

man oh man this is the bestttt!!!

I think you may have saved me money buying a reamp! thanks 😊 I want to connect my synthesizer straight into guitar fx but because impedance mismatched I believe the boss pedal may resolve the issues?

I have been taking a look at reamp boxes recently because I want to do analog FX chains on mono sources using guitar pedals (i ll start out using an EQ and a compressor pedal, possibly even a overdrive pedal after) to shape the sound for mixing. If the content of this video is true, then this will be an absolute money saver! Thank you for the ideas!

Tried this with a behringer acoustic modeller am100 seems to work ok 👍👍👍

gracias viejo te pasaste, la explicación de setear el volumen correcto en el daw haciendo un looper interface-pedal-interface es vital para que salga todo bien, abrazo desde Mendoza, suscripto!

Nice!!!

Minuto 5:26, estaba re enganchado con la explicación y aparece el mate de fondo en el escritorio!! que grande! :) gracias por la data, lo voy a probar!

Great Video! For Clarification: It does not have to be a boss Pedal, any Pedal with a build in buffer will do, right? So for example a Daddario Tuner or sth?

Way cool 👍

Cool video, very useful considering how expensive reamp boxes can be, but if you wanted to add more pedal effects to your chain, would it just go interface->boss->whatever effects pedal->amp?

This is a great video I liked to help with the algorithm- I haven't seen any of the production channels teaching this Great job! 🔊I guess in my case, where I like to record an amp in a closet in another room, I would have long guitar cable runs, and that would create noise therefor, with my set up, I would really benefit from using ReAmp box and running an XLR cable, correct?

Great!

This is so cool!!! One question, do other brands Buffer pedal work?

This is a quality, helpful tutorial. 👍 (that makes 667 likes! 🙃)

Loved the 80s progression!!! If I have another company's pedal that has a buffer like the Boss pedals do, would that works as well?

Yep I use boss pedals for re-amping. Looks like you need to gain stage your dry track. Clipping.

Nice to finally see the waza mz in the metal...

whoa ! la verdad salió a Lal luz !

Hello, thanks for the tutorial, can I do this if my mic needs the 48v on? Or do I risk blowing up the pedal?

I have this boss eq so can have the same effect like a DI is a Professional solution thanks!

brilliant.....

Thank you so much for making this! Does this work runing synths and drum machines into fx pedals as well?

Acabo de mirar que mi Amplificador tiene FX Loop que en su pagina oficial en sus especificaciones dice que el FX Loop del amp tiene Buffer. Quiere decir que no necesitaria el pedal Boss para la conexion que te comente antes?

Geniallll! lo voy a probar :)! Me llama la atencion el nivel en que tenes el dsl40c. el mio es infumable a ese volumen. onda suena a 1 cuadra jajajajaja. hermoso igual el tip. voy a ahorrar varios morlacos !

True gem of video! Thank you so much for taking time to make such a fantastic guide! Greetings from Paraguay

This is brilliant lol

Hello man, cheers from Brazil! Is there any noticeable difference i using a 9v battery or a power suply on the pedal?

I have a tascam 242, this technique of using pedal boss as reamp works in tascam portstudio? The tascam have a "send" (out) but dont have a "return"... can i use a boss pedal to reamp the signal for use pedal effects to mixing tracks on tascam? cheers from brasil ! ..and Thankzzz for the video : )

Un mate? Sos argentino? Sos un groso hermano!! Me salvaste de gastar un fangote de guita

Can get the this to work : UR-RT4 separate output #1(back of unit) with a mono cable - Boss CE3 - Inst cable to Vox Cambridge 15 Amp . When I try to match gain I get feedback. Any ideas? DAW level out = 0 db. What o you do to not get feedback? Thanks!

very nice tutorial , i have a question , can i do the same with a vst synth? going out from my audio interface into a remp box and a guitar amp and record with a mic?

Hi there, thanks for the video!! I was wondering why do you use a Y cable? Could i just use a normal TS or TRS cable? Great video :)

What if i want to use software amp sims like Guitar Rig on the guitar channel? How can i add my reverb guitar pedal after the software? I have a boss ds-2 as well but im trying to see how i can make this work with my Topanga reverb in instead of a microphone on an amp.

Thanks, vertu useful and well made video! So if i understand you well, this should work with any buffered pedal, right?

Nice video !!! THNX! Just one qustion, Don't you have to deal with some latency? Grtz from Belgium

Great vid! I’m just confused on the Y cable part. I didn’t see you connect the third tip into anything, so I guess I’m just wondering if the Y cable is entirely necessary? Or if I can use a regular instrument cable?

Creative and resourceful. However, I thought the direct amp recording sounded better than the re amped recording.

Could you make a reamp comparison between BOSS eq pedal and a real reamp box?

Grandisimo aporte! muchas gracias, tengo una consulta como usas el cable Y esa parte me confundio un poco, en mi caso yo tengo una focusrite 2i2, tiene salida de monitor con audifonos como tmb 2 salidas de linea(L y R ), estoy usando pro tools, como me recomiendas seria la mejor manera de mandar el sonido desde el focusrite al Boss(reamp), conectando directo desde la salida de audifonos o como exactamente para tener la mejor calidad? Agradeceria mucho tu ayuda, saludos!

Great video man!!! Really want to try this out now! One question for you... does it have to be a Boss pedal? I have an "ARTEC noise gate pedal, would that work? Thanks in advance. 👍🎶

Great video man, I'm having trouble doing this on vocals but I just need to watch this over and I think I should be able to figure it out.. problem is im tryna use my Distortion boss pedal on my vocals, so I did buy a reamp box, but looks like input on my ProRMP reamp box is only an XLRf so ima need an XLRm to 1/4" adaptor. Also, the sound on the reamp guitar imo sounds better cause its a bit DIRTIER! I dont like that super clean sound, I like the guitar to be muddy and dirty, that shit sounds harder to me idk Anyways great vid man I hope you can help me if I have questions haha

Genius. I wondered how much difference a pedal buffer could manage. Does this work with powered headphone level OR line level outs? I have a Mackie VLZ mixer that I’d like to sneak in the middle before the interface and wanted to know my options for signal impedance going into a buffered pedal. Thanks for this one. Legendary.

The Boss pedal DID NOT sufficiently eliminate ground noise which could be heard within the first half seconds once the DAW started recording the reamped track. Most reamp boxes will significantly reduce the ground buzzing noise, but most do not completely eliminate it. Reamping through extreme distortion pedals for extreme metal will only make this buzzing noise much louder and annoying, especially on djent or muted chugging with lots of silence breaks.

So... i can't use a Typic Guitar Cable to conect the Headphones out to the Boss Pedal? And i need to use the boss pedal with a batery? can i use a Power Supply?

Thanks so much for this awesome video. Question, what purpose does reamping the guitar track direct to the DAW serve vs just using the original direct signal? Only thing I can figure is that it will help keep levels consistent.

Thx for this video. At this point I got lost: 05:26 - You show a bunch of cables and I cant figure out how to connect these things. Could You explain with a diagram like the ones at 01:56? That would be great.

Just picked up a GE-7 for like 70 bucks pretty good condition. Not a bad deal considering it works great and I can also do this with it now that you've show me da wae

I think this would work but it can’t be ideal, some interfaces have balance only outputs, also there’s no transformer in a Boss pedal, the transformer steps down the line level signal coming out of the interface and converts it to a high impedance signal that your amp input expects to see. Also the transformer (a good quality one) should eliminate noise and hum. Not saying this won’t work, going straight from the interface to the amp will also work, again it won’t be ideal.
