HARDWARE CONTROLS
-
Color Switch – Selects which transformer converts the signal to affect tone color.
-
Phase Inversion Switch – Engages an 180° phase inversion on the output.
-
Ground Lift Switch – Engages the ground lift, isolating output ground from chassis ground.
Useful for reducing hum caused by ground loops. -
Level Control – Adjusts the output level from infinity (mute) to +4dB above source input.
-
Input XLR – Balanced +4 dB line level input signal.
-
Thru/Input|1/4” TS – Balanced +4 dB ‘convenience’ TRS input. Also works as a through-put to daisy chain another device.
-
Output 1/4” TS – Unbalanced, transformer isolated instrument output.
CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION
Connect a channel output from your interface or recorder into the line input
of the Replay Box.
Connect an instrument cable from the Output of the Replay box to your
destination amplifier, pedal, or processor. Start with the volume control
down, then adjust the volume knob up to the desired level.
For a clean, mastering-grade signal, set the Color switch to Transparent. When
a subtle amount of coloration is desired, set the Color switch to Harmonic.
This provides low saturation, slight high-end roll off, and some phase shift
at the extreme ends of its frequency range (similar to the “Pulte clow-end
trick.”)
Replay Box recipes:
Pedalboard interface: Set Color to Transparent to interface your studio
with guitar pedals — the possibilities are endless for processing any of your
recorded tracks.
Replayed snare drum: Snare needs more distortion or “crack?” Send your snare
track through a guitar amplifier with some overdrive, and mic the arp.
Set up the amp in a large reflective room… and mic the room as well for an
even bigger sound!
Replayed synthesizer: Are your software/MIDI synth sounds missing some
dimension? Send them through a full-range keyboard amp via the Replay Box and
mic the room. (Bonus points for micing in stereo!) This classic trick has been
used on countless albums.
