An simple alternative to reamping (for some)

[Doug6String]

I have Helix rack, which has a Guitar Thru output.  From the manual – “Passes the signal received at the front panel Guitar In with no A/D/A conversion.† I feed that output to my Presonus audio interface.  Anytime I record guitar, I am playing with the Helix preset I want but record only the output from the Guitar Thru, which is just dry guitar.  The way my setup is, I don’t have to do anything except hit record.

 

I used to do reamping, and while it’s not odious, the fact that you have to change settings to do it made it less convenient for me.  A recent post with reamping issues made me think it might be worth posting this.

 

I searched Guitar Thru and got no hits for that phrase so maybe this is an option others, like me, missed until recently?

That is an option if you are using an interface outside of Helix. I (and a lot of users here) use Helix as their interface, so I use USB 7/8 for the dry signal to DAW.
