Day #2 Michael Wagener Recording Workshop
Mega Preamp Shootout / Reamping Guitars / Micing Drums
?The first thing we did (after raiding the fridge) was do a mega preamp shootout on guitar. While I've never “reamped” before, I must say that it worked quite well. Reamping basically means you record a guitar directly into the console so you can later run it through whatever guitar cabinet you choose. The Redeemer was a big help and drastically improved the tone of the direct guitar We used the Randall amp with all the modules....(it's actually designed by Bruce Egnater)...the M4. This amp is SMOKING!! The modules really do work and sound DAMN GOOD! The power amp allows you to switch between 6L6s and EL34s real time. Amazing! I may have to sell some gear so that I can pick me up a Randall M4 module rig. This is a real amp and I couldn't imagine how you could make it more versatile.
