How to Record Guitar at Home with a Modeler (Reamping Guide)
Share
A modeler is a home-recording superpower: silent, repeatable and consistent. Here's a simple pro workflow.
Record a DI as well as your tone
Track your guitar's clean DI signal alongside your amped tone. If you want to change the tone later, you can reamp the DI without re-recording.
Reamping with a plugin or hardware
- Send the DI back out to your modeler (or use its plugin/NAM/ToneX).
- Pick a new amp and cab IR.
- Record the result back into your DAW.
Get a great tone fast
Start from professionally mixed artist presets or ToneX captures so your tracks sit in a mix instantly.
FAQ
What is reamping? Re-sending a recorded DI through an amp/modeler to change the tone after tracking.
Do I need a reamp box? Not with a modeler plugin — you can reamp entirely in the box.
