Cheap re-amp box

[gordonmerrick]

I use the Little Labs Red Eye (around $200) and I've been really happy with it.

Any sure fire box that is working for you guys?

Depends on what you consider cheap?
$50.00?
$100.00
$200.00+
How are you going to do the DI track? DI Pre? DI box/Mic pre?
This will have a huge influence on how well the Reamping works/sounds.

you can get a radial proRMP for $99 new, or even less used. It's bare bones, but still very good.

get a passive DI box and plug it in backwards.

I have some Behringer thing which is covered in tape so I can't tell you the model name. (But they only do 2 passive DIs and it's the better one) I took the trannie out and replaced it with a Crimson Audio transformer, which in my opinion, for rock music, beats the Jensen. You might like a Jensen though - which is what Radial use.

The Behringer shouldn't cost you more than about $40.

Are you recording them or are these tracks that they have already recorded and brought to you? I'm just wondering if they did it on there own if they captured a good dry signal. I have been given tracks that the guitar was not in tune when it was recorded.

It will be mostly tracks they have done but I will re-record some parts I'm sure. I mostly want to run the bass through my stuff and possibly add some amp sim stuff underneath the original guitars.

$150 tops. Would prefer cheaper if possible. Used ok.
