DI electric guitar needs acoustic treatment?

penz · 14th December 2006

Currently I'm recording DI into my computer and using amp simulation to record. I play my electric guitar in an untreated room and I use headphones to monitor. Would my guitar sound better if I played it in a treated room? I'm not sure if pickups pick up any eroneous frequency in the room... Thanks

No, it won't make any difference. The only part of your environment to have any impact on the sound of guitar pickups is interference from other electrical sources.
