Reamp
Second on the DIY. Use an Edcor tranny. I've built several for very little money, including a very nice metal case. They work excellent. Otherwise, $200 isn't that much money if you reamp a lot. You will get your money out of it if you take care of it.

Yip. That's just what they cost. I bought a little labs Red Eye for $250 because it's both a reamp and a nice DI. But if that wasn't around I can't say I would have balked at the price of the reamp. All it does is make your reamping sound significantly better. You can always just turn the output of your DAW down a lot and run it straight in to an amp!

I put out $200 for a Radial X-Amp in August 2006. I'm not all that DIY-experienced (less three years ago than now) so I dropped the cash. If you can DIY build a passive one, awesome! Do it! For me, the X-Amp was worth $200.
The cool thing to remember is all of the crazy experimentation that you can do once you have a ReAmp device. Whether $200 or $35, it's worth it to have one.

If you don't wanna spend the money you can use a DI in reverse. Use the search function to read more about it. I held out for a long time, but in the end I ended up getting one and it was very much worth it.

Yep, I just got mine and it works great.Recycled_Brains wrote:Try the Radial ProRMP. It's a passive reamp, and it's half the price of the XAmp and the Reamp model.
It only has 1 output, as opposed to 2 on the XAmp, and you don't have to deal with a wall-wart.
I use it frequently and it works as advertised.
BTW, the Reamp is the original, I mean that guy invented it and produces it in very small numbers so I totally understand the $200 price tag. I would have loved to have bought one from him just to support small business and because he tracked those Dead kennedys albums; but I had to spend the money elsewhere and the ProRMP fits the bill.
