I tryied to record Gtr > DI (Alto) >Preamp (digi002) and when i listen to my "clean" signal, i think it good sound better. I've heard that putting a tube preamp (i mean mic tube preamp, not guitar tube preamp) before the preamp of the digi002 permit to obtain a far better signal. This theory was (which was practically verified by users, but not me -still don't have a tube preamp-) said for recording guitar direct in a DAW and then processed with a amp simulator (amplitube and stuff like these). Is these theory true in the case of reamping ? All advices are welcome, especially those from users which as experienced several line-up for reamping. examples of line up : Gtr > DI > Daw (line level entry) > reamp > amp Gtr > DI > Daw (mic preamp) > reamp > amp Gtr > Tube preamp > Daw (line level) > reamp > amp Gtr > Tube preamp > Daw(mic preamp) > reamp > amp ............................ Tks
