This article is a quick info on how to set up your guitar, interface and DI in order to record a great DI track and then apply an amp sim like Amplitube or BIAS or any other amp/cab sim. This article will focus on a few different setup option and the differences between them.

A quick video to illustrate how to record YOUR amp to your day with a DI box. The DI box used is the Behringer DI100 and we are running the speaker out straight into the DI box. This records the amp with power amp signal to the DAW via the DI. This allows you to add your own IR's or speaker sims to the signal.

How do you record a clean and clear guitar signal through a DI Box and still get an organic performance.

The Pyle Pro PDC22 is an unpowered Dual Direct DI box. It converts unbalanced signals to balanced signals andbalanced to unbalanced. It also features a parallel out in order to loop a signal back. The DI also has a -0dB, -20dB and -40dB which allows you to connect higher powered connection to it to send via balanced out like amp speaker outs etc. It also features a ground lift. It is of full metal construction and in my tests noiseless. It does exactly what it is requested to do.

The Joyo American Sound is an amp simulator that can be used as a DI, into the pre-amp or into the FX return. It is an extremely great sounding and versatile effects pedal voiced to the Fender... guessing the Fender DeLuxe range.
