I made this demo of "Rude Mood" with a Tele with EMG-T's, direct with a Behringer GDI21 (which was about $30 brand new). For anyone thinking about getting one (or a Sansamp GT2), I think it's a pretty good purchase.

Weird choice of gear, I know, but I'm pretty happy with the resulting tone. I love analog DI devices and may build some of the cab sims from Runoffgroove.

Reverb added in Logic.

Sounds good, like the twang to it.

Thanks!

Very nice. Lends itself to a country adaptation I didn't expect.

Higgs that was great playing! Sounds really good.

I have recorded with the Sansamp GT2 before. Those are great boxes. Did Behringer buy them out or they make a copy of those?

PS, I enjoyed your "Roy" youtube clip as well. Nice.

Higgs F. Boson · February 7th, 2012, 11:14 AM

Thanks!

I'm really not sure how Behringer is able to clone the GT2. I had a real GT2 years ago and as well as I recall, it was identical.

I'd still love to find a Sansamp Classic for a good price, as a collector's item if nothing else.

For recording purposes, it's possible to get some decent DI semi-clean sounds from the GDI21 by keeping the Drive control very low. I think one of the reasons the distorted sounds can sound bad is because the units speaker emulation is very basic. After recording they can be improved a lot by adding a cab simulation like the LeCab VST effect.

I have thought about trying that. The distorted sounds are only slightly better than running a distortion pedal into the board.

That was terrific! Well done!
