r/guitarrigs

Finally! Just showed up straight from England. 30 days later and loaded with two UK Celestion V30s and two Celestion Hempbacks. Prayers for my neighbors and everyone that lives on my block.

Hello! I would like to record my Orange super crush through my computer with a IR/cab sim while being able to use the fx loop for my pedal board. I know the XLR DI out has a cab sim baked into it and I personally don’t like the sound. I know people use Load Box’s for tube amps to do this. Would a load box be a good investment or is there a better way to go about doing it?

I'm playing my Cort S400 with a Fleor Hotrail wired in series with a single-coil pickup in the middle position. I have a switch positioned right before the output, wired in parallel with a 2.2 nF capacitor that acts as a low-cut filter. 

I also have a 4.7 nF capacitor wired in parallel with a single coil. This should clean up some of the low and middle frequencies, but I think the capacitor value is a bit low. I may switch to 6.7 nF or even more.

The signal then goes into a Peavey Piranha whose preamp I use as a distortion pedal of sorts. From there, the signal goes into the input of a KMD GV100D with a G12H-100 inside. I'm using input because these old KMDs have a Fx-Loop sitting before the preamp, so I can't bypass it anyway. Since I don’t have many EQ options on the Piranha, I thought it would be better to use the KMD's EQ. 

It's almost impossible to get a clean sound from this guitar, but that doesn't bother me. The overall sound is meaty and very bass-heavy.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this rig!

Talk about spending money in the wrong places haha! Obviously the phone and iPad are the most expensive parts but I just record music for fun in my bedroom and don’t really have the money or space for a load more guitars.
