| The Radial boxes do work backwards for reamping because they're passive, but it's less than ideal because the DIs are made to go from guitar level down to mic level, so when you feed it back out at line level, it's 1000x more powerful. This way you're starting with a high-level signal, converting down to a very low-level signal, and then back up to a hotter signal again. I've done it with my ProDI a few times, but I had to have my track fader way down (like -50 dB) to keep from overdriving the transformer. This isn't ideal because I'm not using all my bits, but I suppose you could put an analog control in the chain after the D/A.
Bottom line, it can be used, and isn't too bad, but ideally you want a ReAmp device that goes from line down to instrument level and has an adjustable output. That way you just keep the track fader at 0. I have the ProRMP, it works pretty well, but I've heard good things about the active reamp boxes. |
