recording guitar directly to 001????

[remains]

Can I record guitar(electric) directly into 001 or do I have to have direct in box??

I have zoom 9050 effect for guitar.

Thanks!

Hi remains!

Yes, you can go directly into the 001. What I usually do is plug directly into the 001 and add any additional effects that the song calls for.

For example, direct in-sans amp plug-Dverb-delay.

Gives me a nice sound for laying down ideas.

Good luck!

What do you mean by that??

Use inputs 1 and / or 2 in the front of 001. They work better. The others are line.

I think he's referring to Sansamps' guitar preamp with Dverb and a bit of delay. I think ?? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

I had a bad experience recording guitars and bass through the 1/2 front inputs of the 001. The sound I get was weak and thin, no presence at all. Now I'm connecting my guitar and bass to my amp, and the preamp out to a line input of the 001. Then I hook the plugins, for example, the BF Sans Amp (coolest plugin I have) It do it to me. Any better idea?

Hi remains!

What I meant was using either input 1 or 2 plugging your guitar directly into the Digi001. Then add a nice guitar processor (I use the Sans Amp) and some reverb, delay or whatever effect you need to fit the song. Works great for me!

Good luck. Hope this helps!

Inputs 1/2 are mic or +4dbu line level only, not designed for instrument level. Using inputs 3-8, in the hardware menuy, you can set the input level to instrument.

Otherwise run through a direct box or outboard instrument preamp with +4dbu balanced outs to utilize the front panel 1/2 inputs. You could also go into the 3-8 inputs set to +4dbu line level as well.

Best scenario is to use an instrument preamp with digital outs, and bypass the 001's so-so A-D converters.

Hope this is helpful.

remains,
I run directly from a guitar processor to 5/6 for electric, when not miking an amp.

You should be able to run your Zoom outputs directly to 3&4,5&6, or 7&8, and use any of it's settings you want.

Good to learn again.
So mics to 1 & 2 and instruments to 3-8.

Another question: Would you raise the level of the 001 input for an instrument ( guitar efx ) or rather raise volume at the instrument ( I would be guessing the latter to be perferable ... ?)

Thanks
