I've been asked and challenged in my other videos that you really don't NEED a reamp box in order to reamp guitar. This video shows you the results that you will get and let's you decide for you own if you really should get a reamp box or plug your line output strait into your guitar amp! (That's not what your suppose to do, but this video shows what it sounds like)

I was personally surprised how well the JDI worked when using the padded XLR cable. Placing the pad after your digital interface allows you to run a hotter signal out of the recording interface, thus giving you a little better resolution and less noise. The padded cable allows you to not overload the transformer during the process (Which is really only designed to take lower signals).

I used the padded cable only, and did not use the on board pad that the JDI has. This was to proove that any passive DI box would work in the same way, and that I'm not endorsing that you must go buy the exact gear that I use to use the technique.

I also was surprised that there was a difference in noise floor from the two adapters. You can hear the difference in the first example of just the noise floor with no track playing.

All of the DI options checked out to be the same output at the amp, using a dB meter. I used a test tone about a foot out from the amp, and they all measured to be right at 118 dB. This is how I got my figures for how much I needed to attenuate the signal in the DAW. I understand that the impedance might have played a role and a more accurate way to measure output would have been to measure the voltage on the guitar cable itself rather than plugging it into a guitar amp. But regardless, the amp is matched very close, and after all you should understand how to adjust the volume to level match anyway.

All the DI boxes are passive, and the reamp box is passive as well.
