🎸 “I think it’s peaking.”

In this video, I take the classic studio technique of reamping and do something deeply questionable with it: I reamp a guitar signal not once, but 10 times. Partly out of curiosity and partly out of mild disregard for sonic integrity.

Reamping is normally used to craft the perfect tone by sending a clean guitar signal through different amps and pedals. But instead of aiming for perfection, I wanted to see what would happen if we just… you know… kept going? Join me for an audio experiment that’s part signal degradation, part synth discovery, and part existential crisis. Along the way, I talk signal routing, feedback loops (oops), and how sometimes it’s okay to make weird stuff just because.

This video features a product placement from sE Electronics – they sent me these microphones to use in this video, so people like you can learn about them. They didn’t pay me, but I do get to keep the mics.

Equipment includes:

• sE Electronics V7X Dynamic microphone
• sE Electronics VR2 Ribbon microphone
• sE Electronics GuitaRF reflection filter
• Roland Street Cube amp
• Cort M600t guitar
• Cubase 14 Pro

If you’re the kind of person that wants to learn more about how the song was made, you can watch this video. I go into detail about which reamp samples I’m using, how I’m effecting them, how they’re mixed, etc.
