Rig Rethink....

Ok, now you're trolling us.


Indeed, missed that. I checked the manual but only the text and there's no mention of it in the prose that I (admittedly quickly) glanced at but it's right there in the block diagram. @BassicJazzy you might find that the DI output sounds quite a bit like the amp in the room then, try it out! Or you might not, depends on the speaker sim I guess.

Yes, thanks and thanks to Agedhorse for the schematic too! I may try it both ways, through the XLR output, and then a second try through the effects loop, see which sounds better.

Some professions attract certain mindsets of exactitude. A college girlfriend’s father was a physicist and used to send her letters that said things like, “We had around 3.2 inches of snow last night.”

When he reported that there was 3.2 inches of snowfall, did he use common rounding or IEEE rounding?

while we are getting into the weeds, was the type of inch specified (imperial, American, Chinese, US survey, Scottish, etc, lol) as well as the reference system used for calibration with traceability to NIST?

I've been researching more in the older threads and lots of people have tried this with not great results. I guess the advantages are outweighed by the disadvantages, of unbalanced gains, additional noise, etc. Seems the best option is to go through the pedalboard into the DI (Scarlett) and then use the cab sim in the DAW.

Generally you have more of a diverse assortment of cab sims in DAW too. That said, if you like the Rumble's cab sim, there's no reason not to use it.
