bartnettle1 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 There is plenty of space in a HD500 and I would like to install a 'DI Out' into it. Ideally I'd like an output that is as good as going direct into an amp. The main purpose is to have a center clean amp. The idea is to take a dual feed from the Guitar input. From memory the input jack is hard soldered to a input circuit board so it might not fully work without rerouting the input card and a new input jack with a input transformer and take a split off it and then that will change the impedance. The other alternative is separate outputs on the pickups on the guitar; a la Billy Sheehan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremybnz Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Why not use a dual path setup and pin hard left and right on the mixer? have one path with no amp or effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartnettle1 Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 Yeah that works but I have decided to look at a buffered splitter box but I have now settled on a s/pdif to analogue converter but it appears line level and will require a reamp box. Seems I might just can the idea. But this is cheap enough to play with. I might just hook up one of the stereo outs into reversed DI box for now and see how it goes, If that works okay I'll take it further. This way I can use the HD500 outs into stereo amps and run the dry converted digital out to a center clean reverb amp. Luscious. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Coaxial-RCA-Digital-Optical-Toslink-Signal-to-Analog-Audio-Converter-Cable-DAC-I-/171770591869?hash=item27fe533a7d:g:KX8AAOSwv0tVP0zu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Sounds like good way to turn a 15 minute setup job at a gig into an hour setup job.... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So quick for changeover between acts at gigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Converter stability in a live scene is not guaranteed but the idea is for a Larry Carlton sound set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
