Hi, here's my situation?
I have the Rockcrusher recording unit as seen here and need hook up advice? I used to use it with my amps because it has great speaker emulation/load-box capability and of course, attenuation.
Now that I run the KPA spidf not sure?
Ultimately I'd like to record three tracks simultaneously.
One spidf mono left and one mono crusher w/ emulation right, (vice-versa) and add a sm57 on the cab as a third track into protools.
My chain was:
Guitar in amp > 16 / 8 ohm out to crusher (input from amp) > crusher out (use first) to speaker > balanced out of crusher to 002 rack.
Current chain:
Guitar in KPA > Monitor out of KPA to Camplifier > Right main out of KPA to crusher (input from amp) > crusher out (use first) to speaker cab > balanced out of crusher to 002 rack > spidif to 002 rack
EDIT:
So the rockcrusher is attenuating but I get horrible added EMF (all is connected to power conditioner), no matter what the guitar.
Crusher is 8ohm, cab is 8ohm, Campliflier 180 is 8ohm so all good.
It stops as soon as I turn the rockcrusher off. I don't get it?
I thought of selling it but would lose a bunch and then I read about using it for profiling... hmmm, should I keep it?
Is there a better way to connect this?
Thanks guys, hope this wasn't to convoluted!
Cheers
