Howdy,
I was wondering if there are any out there having success running a guitar thru the A4’s filters and using its overdrive and such.
In the manual it has a section on this with a diagram of setting it up. it has a guitar going into the INPUT of what it calls an amp and the OUTPUT of said amp into the a4. now i cant imagine an a4’s inputs being able to take the heat of say a fender twin…id imagine the output of that would surely fry the a4. would you reckon it means a preamp?? even still - i would be freaked at running a preamps output into the a4.
in my head i have this ideal image of running a guitar straight into the inputs of the a4. using one of the tracks of the a4 and getting all sorts of amzing brian eno/david bowie/robert fripp type of guitar sounds.
so far im getting nothing really.
i have put a trigger on the first note of the sequence. changed the wave forms of the track to left. set note length to the length of the sequence and whacked up the level and overdrive and all i get is a loud hum.
i watched a demo on the octatrack with pickup machines, but surely with the a4s agressive filter you wouldnt really need something like that to boos the signal so much?
anyway if anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. cheers conor
