You and I are proof that there is a problem with Steinberg interfaces
and some guitars, but we aren’t the only ones who find a problem. I am
satisfied with my live amp sound using an EMU-1820m going to an amp.
Absolutely clean sound that way. You and I aren’t using junk guitars either.
The Jackson has passive pickups. I’m convinced that a Radial DI will be better
than using Yamaha Hi-Z. In fact, I haven’t used Hi-Z for a couple of weeks. It
doesn’t work with my equipment. I have tried various things. I’ve turned the
gain all of the way down/off and turned my guitar volume up a bit, but that is
not the tone I’m looking for. Might be OK for some.
I’m going to order a Radial DI next month. Some people love them. Even a different
capacitor in the guitar may help, but I’m getting more interested in the stereo and
re-amp possibilities with that DI. Also, maybe there is a difference between the AD
and DA converters on the Steinberg units?
