Headphone Out D.I. Cheat - AudioTech

Alright, Gospel Guitarist here and as promised I wanted to show you a quick cheat if you don't want to haul around your amp with a stompbox oriented unit such as the Boss ME50 and maybe some of the older units you might be able to use this cheat on. On this unit there is no speaker simulation involved with it. It's basically a set of stompboxes in a big box. But the headphones out is equipped with a 412 speaker simulator and so if you run your headphones out you'll need a stereo cable with two mono outputs, commonly known as an insert cable, and then run it into two DI's for your left and right and then from your DI's you can run your mic cable to the mixer. So now you've got a set of stompboxes equipped with a 412 simulator on a headphone jack running stereo. I suppose you could probably run it with just one DI but because there is stereo panning and things like that on this unit I would just go ahead and run it in stereo if I really wanted to do this. A lot of you probably would not dare to run this unit this way but it can be done. Now you can balance your clean tone and the level of your distortion tone but mind you you've got tone and bottom controls on your distortion but there's really no way to alter your clean tone outside of your tone modifier up here. And that may be sufficient because if you just got a thin guitar sound you know that's not going to sound very good but you can move it up here to fat or crank it up to enhance and get more high end and low end so you can play with this setting over here to enhance your clean tone somewhere in there you're going to get something that you probably it's close enough especially if you're just playing like heavy metal and rock you're probably not going to use your clean tone all that much and no one's really going to pay much attention to it but your distortion tone's got to sound good and it just will not do that running say you know out of your guitar output into a DI it's just going to sound horrid so the only way you can do this is coming out of your headphone jack. Now I don't know about the ME-70 hopefully they've got the ME-70 set up different where you could run it with your left and right with a cabinet simulator because it does have all the modeling in it where this one doesn't but this is just a quick video on a cheat for this unit and it may work for some older Yamaha units or other things that are floating around from ancient days so as long as there's a speaker simulator on the headphones you'll need to you need to know that it does have that and that's why the unit sounds good just playing through your headphones because it's got that 412 cab there that's the only place this unit has it so it's not available anywhere no buttons will turn it on so that's the only place you get it right here. So I don't know that I would do this but you can so just something I thought I'd throw out there because it's possible and it probably wouldn't sound bad don't sound bad on headphones so shouldn't sound bad live either so anyway if you find it helpful then use it if not just forget I said it but anyway thanks for watching and don't forget to like subscribe share videos and you take care.
