@@BurnAre as long as you have line outputs and line inputs you can absolutely do this, however, it’s worth noting that the line inputs on the id14 aren’t “true” line inputs, because they still go through the preamp. So if you were using like a higher end compressor or preamp, the quality may take a hit because the signal will still engage the onboard built in preamp… even if you use the 1/4” TRS line input. But as far as getting signal out and back in, you definitely can.
Having had Masterbuilts, Custom Shops and stratosphere builds partscasters, I say you are wrong. Starting at $200, you get a nice body, a nice neck (demand one) and a good fretboard. Then you can bet they’ve made molds of every metal part on a real one and often provide better quality in those than the originals. A fret dress, an intonation and a little more elbow grease and you’ve got a great gigging guitar. You say “the action is high”- dial it in, dude. fender always needs the same adjustment. Replace pots for $30. Replace bridge trem with a Floyd Rose if you must. Why I love these is Masterbuilts are now $10k. And buyers are picking them up, with no thought that a Masterbuilt is supposed to be a custom guitar built for You. Ok, spend another $30 and they’ll replace your tuners. Dig? And shipping is usually FREE.
I don’t have the same experience. At all…. But to each their own. I put the elbow grease in, but I wanted this to be an expectation setting video to give you an idea of what this guitar was like out of the box. And for the record, one year after recording this video, the neck was rendered useless, because the break angle became so steep that no luthier could possibly save it. When I replaced the electronics, I noticed that everything was wired incorrectly, which is probably why every knob acted like a master tone knob. Maybe I got a bad one, but I gotta say, this one was worse than the $50 pawn shop strat I got when I was a 13 year old kid. And worse yet, after shipping this guitar cost about as much as a new squier… I’m simply saying based on my experience, just get the squier. Squiers are great, this guitar was straight up space garbage
So just go Juno -> Audient iD24 input. Then take the insert send -> Urei input. Then take the Urei output -> insert return. Done and done! ***However, whatever compression settings you select, will be printed, aka forever committed to the recording, so be intentional about your settings***
I'm loving this! My interface is a Presonus StudioLive 32SC mixer. Now i need to figure out the outs and ins so that i can use my ART Pro VLA II stereo compressor the way I want to with my Cubase DAW.
Good question, the short answer is that the insert return is the “insert in.” The insert send is only to send the audio from the mic input of the interface to a piece of outboard gear, the return is where that signal comes back, goes into the interface
I’m keeping mine! They will need a set up and maybe a fret level but worth the effort. Tuners and pickups are crap but so would a squire and it would have that icky squire on it.
Squire , epiphone, jackson are made in china . It depends on your luck getting one with a good finish and pick ups , just check feedback on qc issues. A guitar is wood , metal , plastic and pick ups at the end of the day . Just buy one , change pick ups and check wiring should be good . Ive got a gibson sg standard original and theres little finishing issues and the cellulose finish marks and scratches easy , the nut is plastic on my sg. so go ahead and buy a copy you have nothing to loose for the cost .
You recommended a used Squier, but they are probably made at the same Chinese factory and in need of the same laundry list of upgrades, mods, adjustments, fret leveling, etc. and you have that deliberately obnoxious big head neck.
It blows my mind how you guys defend the fakes, and I mean this with respect but you’re dead wrong. Trust me as someone who’s played 100’s of guitars, high end and low, this is one of the worst I’ve ever played, yet a squier will at least be somewhat playable, with useable electronics. This guitar was a heap of garbage. But if you want to waste money, that’s fine I guess
I purchased a Fender 70s Vintage modified Squier Strat. I had a setup done and changed the pickups. Great guitar, stays in tune and rivals my American standard Strat.
I have a Sonex 180 Custom Candy apple Red that I bought in 1981 when I was serving in USAF and made a little money on the side with it. I had to replace machine heads because they were crap other than that everything else is original and in excellent shape I have babied it over the decades.
I give everyone one shot. So here you go: I used to play at the pro level. I toured in bands. I have something like nine records out with my playing on them. However, I got a nerve disorder that doesn’t allow me to play at the same high levels… but I still like to play and I like to make these little videos. But no, I won’t get better, I would suggest not watching if you don’t want to see it.
A basic fret dress, set up, new loaded scratch plate and decent strings and it’ll be sick. What are you expecting for the money? Stick some time in it and it’ll be amazing
I bought one of these and it was garbage. The pickups were about 2K, tone controls did nothing and I was pushed to tell the difference between the switch positions soundwise. Body and headstock shape were both wrong, colour was way out and the neck needed a fret level and reprofile before it would even play. These are not worth the hassle, either buy a real guitar or don't bother.
I have one of these for my Bugera 1960 Infinium. I had also to put out 2 of the power tubes, to limit the 150W of the 1960 to 75W. Sound is pretty decent now, 'cause I can go to 11 without blowing the roof of :)
Una vez más, se pone de manifiesto que: *No es el instrumento sinó el músico y donde lo enchufas* Pedales/Ampli . No necesariamente en ese orden.... : ) Esa guitarra con unos Ajustes *suena practicamente igual* que... Solo digo "la verdad" y se que me vais a crucificar por ello... Más no me importa!
