using GT 6B

[jaebee]

hey, I am planning on using my boss gt 6b to aid in recording. we had previously recorded some of the bass with the DI from my GK backline 600 head, but it sounded too lifeless. so we are rerecording, and I was wondering if I should be thinking about the DI from the boss, or going straight into the return of my amp head an mic'ing the cab (backline 4x10)

would it be better to get the better cab modeling from the boss DI, or the real thing mic'd up

as an ad on, the sound I am trying to open is a slightly gritty rock tone, I have it pretty dialed in on the GT, just want to make it come alive on the recording (it sounds very good live)
we also have plenty of quality mic's

thanks

I'd recommend doing both if possible, and then mix the two to taste during mixdown. You can take the SPDIF digital out of the GT6B to the SPDIF in of your recorder, presuming that it has one, and run the regular line to the amp/cab and then mic it up.

use the gt6 through your amp and mic it. That will likely get the best tone in the most simple way. Theres no point in using two bass signals if you don't have to

you can do both and see which one you prefer - set the stereo xlr outputs so that one is wet and one is dry, that way you can send the dry signal to your amp and send an amp model to the wet line and straight into the desk...

do you mean the lines out, send the mono(l) to the amp and the right to the desk?

how would i configure it so that one is wet and the other completly dry (which would be the bypass)

thanks so much
