Reamping A Guitar Or Bass - Arturia AUDIOFUSE 16RIG User Manual

5.4. Reamping a Guitar or Bass

Reamplification or "reamping" is a way to tweak the tone of a recorded track after the
fact. The guitar, bass, or other instrument signal is recorded as cleanly as possible, with no
effects or amplifier. Then, later on, that signal can be sent back out to a pedalboard or miked
amp. The engineer can now tweak the tone all they want – since the performance is already
recorded, the guitarist doesn't have to play it over and over.
The trick to reamping is that the signal out of the interface has to convince the pedals or
amp that it's coming from a guitar pickup. Therefore it has to present the right signal level
and output impedance. Commercial reamplification boxes (sometimes nicknamed "reverse
DI boxes") have been around for many years, but the AudioFuse 16Rig has the capability
built into the front panel outputs 3 and 4.
1. Record your guitar or bass part clean, as described above.
2. Connect a cable from one of the front panel outputs to your pedalboard or amp.
Press the OUTPUTS button. Scroll to select Output 3 or 4 and click to access the
3.
Analog Out settings pages.
4. Scroll to the third page and use the dropdown menu to select Reamp. A button
will appear to let you lift the output ground if you hear hum.
That's all there is to it! You can now assign your DAW to play back your performance through
your pedals and amps, and tweak your tone to your heart's content.
