Re-Amping a Guitar Track
Using one of the Dry Guitar configurations for recording gives you the opportunity of playing that dry
take back into the RPx400 for re-processing. The advantages of having this feature are you can
experiment playing the dry guitar take back through different amp models, effects, or entirely new presets
once you have your other tracks recorded. This helps when trying to fit a guitar sound into a mix after
the song is assembled rather than relying on tricky EQ settings that can tarnish the tone you originally
recorded.
