Reamping off of Carbon

[eightamrock]

Pardon the naive question, just hoping for some community wisdom here.

I currently use a radial passive DI to capture clean instrument signal while also micing up cabs etc.

Is there a way to output from carbon at instrument level on one of the line outputs to reamp those clean tracks without a reamp box? Im fairly sure there isnt, but just wanted to check just in case I was missing something.

The output to reamp is both level and impedance. The passive DI changes the impedance too (usually via transformer) to 10k-40k Ohm.

Though you could get the level right, there is no means to change the output impedance on the Carbon (which is 100 ohm balanced (50 ohm per leg) -- and guitars are unbalanced so 50 Ohm)

As you can see, the load difference is pretty massive if the impedance isn't adjusted.

yeah thats what I thought. OK thank you for the response!

You might be able to go back out through your DI backwards if you have the right cabling. I believe that should readjust the impedance properly. Or you can buy a reamping box like Radial Reamp which would do the same thing.
