How are you going about using guitar pedals as line level effects, e.g on mixer sends or as mixer inserts?
The general approach seems to be to use a re-amp device to emulate a guitar output, then a di device to take the instrument level output from the pedal back to a low impedance line level output. This is fine, however most of these devices seem to be fully transformer isolated and quite expensive.
I'm thinking for just using the pedals as effects rather than doing an actual re-amp with a guitar amplifier + mic, this complexity isn't really needed. It should be enough to match levels and impedance, possibly not requiring balanced in/out either. I'm yet to find any such devices though.
What are your thoughts on this?
