![]() If you don’t have a dedicated re-amp converter just use a cheap DI in reverse to unbalance and drop the signal. It works great with pedals, amps, and plugs. One of these with a good line out, along with modest speakers close mic’d will provide excellent results. These are the basic preamp sections of many guitar amplifiers. There are many inexpensive tube preamps or stompboxes that use one (or several) 12AX7 tubes. Without a good dead room and nice mics, it could be difficult to record, also. This is usually a fragile area on feedback and speaker performance. Overdriving the final output section or saturating the transformer can result in more ‘maximum tone’ but requires turning it up to 11. Usually the preamp section of an amp will provide 80% of the tone. If you know you want distortion, it could be easier to use that as your source material. It is hard to beat a hot/clean guitar track to tweak later in many different directions. ![]() Even if I can control every ripple, I would spend a hundred more minutes tweaking every nuance, when it may sometime be better to be throwing pebbles a few more times. ![]() I am a huge fan of technology, but sometimes I don’t want to use a computer to render an animation of a pebble thrown into a pond, when it’s easier to find a pebble and a pond. ![]() Lacking a good tube amp, there are many ways to get good distortion/warmth using zero CPU cycles. But the even vs odd order harmonic battle of “the perfect tone” will rage on forever. ![]()
