Reamp HP™
OVERVIEW
Reamping is a powerful studio technique that uses a two-step process:
The first step involves recording your original audio track, and the second
step (which the Reamp HP is built for) is where you send the recorded
audio track back through guitar pedals and amplifiers and record the
results. Reamping can be used to try out a guitar DI track through a
variety of amplifiers without altering the performance or tiring out the
musician, or it can be used for experimenting with a track by layering
effects pedals or trying new recording techniques.
As Reamping continues to gain in popularity, a growing number of home
studios are employing this technique. However, one problem that arises
in this scenario is that most small-format audio interfaces have a limited
number of line-level outputs available to feed signal to a Reamp device.
These outputs are usually already connected to a pair of studio monitors
and outboard analog effects, meaning that in order to free up an output
for Reamping, it might be necessary to power down some gear and re-
patch cables at the back of the interface.
The Reamp HP was created to streamline this process by tapping the
audio signal from a headphone output jack for Reamping, as this output
is found on the front panel of most interfaces and is easily accessible
when the inspiration to Reamp strikes. This simple but effective design
makes it easy to get started with Reamping in any studio using just a few
quick steps.
