Red Eye or IBP ?

[SLy_drums]

My first aim is to be able to reamp clean guitars into big amps in the studio (5150, Engl, Krank etc.). I know the Red Eye offers a great reamping quality, and has great splitting options (that I really need !).

The IBP has the phase alignment tool, that can be cool on some things, but it's WAY more expensive ($250 vs. $600...).

Does the IBP have other interesting options ?

Does that worth the investment ??

Any other tools that can be cheaper/interesting to check out ?

Fantastic DI and splitter box too. I never even used the re-amp function so far. The great thing is that you can use it all at the same time, say split a bass to DI and amp and use the phase alignement on the DI track. Once you start using it and get the hang of it you'll never want to be without it, believe me!

You can also set the gain of the DI track but I wish that was a dedicated knob on the front panel instead of the tiny recessed screw on the back. This is my only gripe about the IBP and a minor one at that.

IBP Jr. if you don't need a DI or already got an IBP.
