3 – REMOTE IN
Use the REMOTE IN jack to connect the RebelHead to the
optional footswitch-remote “RebelControl”.
The RebelControl gives you access to the three memory
locations, the mute function, and has tuner indication as well.

4 – DIGITAL OUT
Use the DIGITAL OUT jack to connect the RebelHead’s digital
output stage directly to a digital audio device, such as a
computer’s audio interface. This way, you can record your bass
sound straight into Pro Tools, Logic or any other DAW
application. The digital output signal is in 96 kHz/24 bit AES/EBU
format. This ensures the highest possible resolution and quality
of your recorded bass signal. To determine where in the signal
chain the signal for the digital output should be tapped, use the
PRE/POST switch located right beside the LINE DRIVER OUT
jack on the RebelHead’s rear panel. Your bass signal is present
on both Left and Right digital channel.
Setting up for recording:
In order to record straight from the RebelHead’s digital output,
follow these steps:
–
Connect the RebelHead’s DIGITAL OUT jack to your DAW.
– Set your DAW to follow (slave to) “external clock”.
– Hit the record button in your DAW and start playing.
SPDIF Compatibility
While a simple XLR to RCA converter may suffice to allow
recording through an SPDIF interface, please note that AES/
EBU and SPDIF have different level and impedance specifications,
which in some cases can cause compatibility problems.
If you want to record with an analog signal instead, you
may also use the RebelHead’s balanced output signal
from the LINE DRIVER OUT jack.
5 – AUX IN Rehearse – Stereo Rehearsal Auxiliary Input
Any signal present on the stereo AUX IN jacks is played back
through the PHONES output on the front of the RebelHead. This
allows you to play along with a rehearsal track when checking
out new stuff or to practice to a beat or just a metronome click.
The included “Mini jack to RCA” cable allows you to use iPod®,
iPhone® or any other consumer playback device as a source for
rehearsing.
