REAMP
Technical revolutions are often sparked by simple devices.
The REAMP is one of these devices. The REAMP transforms recordings
; lends an element of analog sound to the digital world; can
allow processing of recorded signals via a world of processors
not previously useable and in ways never before possible.
One can envision mixing dates where many of the musical instruments
are replaced or augmented by REAMPING.
Electric guitar, bass, keyboards, leslied instruments or vocals;
snare drums, etc, all being mixed directly from REAMPED, real
time analog sources.
What could be better except direct to two track?
The ability to make a direct guitar signal sound like its
being played through a twin, a marshall, a boogie, etc. Going
directly into your mix, real time, with no analog or digital
recording artifacts or noise. Take a whimpy guitar track and
beef it up through your fav stompbox and amp....The bass player
insists his amp sounds better than your DI input?: Give it
to him...set up his amp, REAMP the DI through it and make
him smile.....There wont be any drum leakage on that track...and
you can process your signals (limit or eq etc), before you
send them to the REAMP , giving you even more control of the
sound. Want some room and some snap on the snare? REAMP it
through a decent system or amp and mic it up..mix it back
in as you go..or lay a snare drum on a guitar amp facing snare
up, and mic it,gate it, and mix it back in with the original......Want
to use that wa wa on a section of a solo and you want it to
go wa in a specific way? REAMP it, do the wa action by hand
instead of foot and fly it back into the track or leave it
on its own if you have lots of tracks. Since you can punch
it in , you can get the wa action exactly as you want.
Send the background vocals and a section of the guitar solo
through a Leslie? You need a Leslie interface box and a REAMP...sounds
sweet....or REAMP that plastic synthesized organ through a
Leslie and make it sound for real.....
The possibilities are endless, as hundreds of engineers internationally
are finding out every day. Its so quick and easy to set up
and use the REAMP , and the results so outstanding; every
studio should have several available.
For the cost of a decent dynamic mic, or a good mic stand,
the REAMP is a tremendous value in sound per dollar. Frustrated
trying to eq some life into a flaccid guitar track ? You can
easily give it the edge and presence that it needs with a
REAMP and any good guitar amp!
That sterile digital bass can have the rockin, down lo sound
that you really want..REAMP it through your favorite bass
amp.....home recordings made on your computer sound a little
thin? Beef it up real time with a few cranked up small amps
.....can't afford another distressor? Get the real sound of
a real cranked amp!
Tired of plug ins and amp simulators? Keep the control , but
get the real , analog sound!! REAMP it....
You will find endless ways to apply the REAMP that we haven't
thought of yet! Please let us know your favorite new way to
use the newest tool in your sonic arsenal.
A well known boutique manufacturer of hi end audio equipment
recently attempted to design a circuit that would surpass
that of our REAMP design.. The net result of their extensive
research failed to produce a circuit that was superior in
any spec, at any price!....
.a simple, inexpensive, sonic revolution in a box:.......
the REAMP...the possibilities are endless..... Available from
the only authorized U.S. dealer... Dan Alexander Audio.

Application
1. Change amplifier make, tone settings, and effects at
any time after original performance. A flat direct safety
track is recommended but not always necessary for the best
results. Preserve the inspired first-takes, always knowing
you can REAMP later if you are unhappy with the amplified
sound.
2. Engineers and producers can experiment with mic placement
and room ambiance without asking the musician to keep playing
over and over. Record a scratch direct signal on tape/disk
and feed it to the musician's amp via the REAMP and experiment.
3. Insert instrument effects at any time during production.
REAMP from tape/disk to any stomp box (such as a wah-wah,
or overdrive), then take the effects output and return it
to the console via a direct box.
4. Live recordings direct from the instrument's output to
tape/disk can later be REAMP'ed in the studio. This solves
many problems related to remote recording. You can match the
sound for a punch in by using the original instrument and
direct box, thereby making only small repairs. After the repairs
are done, REAMP to any amplifier instead of re-recording the
entire performance. The REAMP is the cheapest insurance policy
going!
5. Insert studio pre-amps, equalizers, signal processors,
and dynamics control before reaching the instrument amplifier.
6. Synthesized guitar and bass tracks can sound more live-like
by RE-AMPing into an instrument amplifier and using mics.
Send drum tracks to various instrument amps and mic the room
for ambiance.
7. No need to record instrument amps during a tracking session
if space or leakage is a problem; perfect for late night home
recording. The next day plug in your amp, turn it up and REAMP
the previous night's performance. Record the bass direct and
REAMP later to tape/disk or during the mix.
8. REAMP the same performance with different amps and stack
the sounds for various textures and panning. You can use the
REAMP to overdrive the front end of a guitar amp for intense
distortion by turning up the REAMP's trim control to eleven!!
