Re-amping with guitar pedals and amps
Reamping instrument parts with the ChainDrive has a lot of advantages. The front panel
jacks and level controls make it especially easy to connect high impedance guitar pedals
and amps. Simply feed a pre-recorded clean track from your DAW to the ChainDrive input.
The four level controls will allow you to set the level. Connect a ChainDrive output to a guitar
amp and use a mic to record the Reamp’ed sound. Or ditch the amp completely and record
the output of a digital guitar processor. The ChainDrive will interface with all kinds of high
impedance audio devices.

Omniport hi-z to low-z converter
If you are using the ChainDrive in a Radial Workhorse power rack, the Omniport is designated
as an unbalanced, hi-z input for line-level signals. The input is converted to a low-z balanced
signal allowing the ChainDrive to distribute signal to balanced devices. When a plug is
inserted into the Omniport, the module’s main XLR input is disabled.
