The PCP (meaning "Professional to Cheesy Level") is a multipurpose distribution, impedance and level-matching box that can, and will, tackle nearly never conceivable guitar nightmare your current rock star in residence can throw your way. The DI in the PCP is similar to the one found in the every popular Multi-Z PIP.
Little Labs PCP features
- Is a one-in three-out guitar splitter (expandable to two-in six-out) featuring transformer isolated guitar level/impedance outputs with phase reverse, ground lift, and level adjust on each output.
- Is an Audiophile highest quality line level direct box.
- Allows three +4 dB balanced pro level inputs, which can be summed together as well as with the instrument input, to feed the guitar level/impedance outputs for feeding guitar pedals/effects and or amplifiers for "re-amping",thus easily enabling ,like never before, doubling of guitar parts through the instrument amp.
- Is a guitar line driver for when a low output impedance is necessary to drive a long cable (utilizing a combo or twin amp and you need to play in the control room).
- Allows prerecorded direct guitar parts to be utilized live, through the guitar amp, allowing the guitar player to play along without missing a lick.
- Has NO modern hierarchical menus.
- Use your imagination. The possibilities are limitless.
- This box is a professional, well made, robust, super flexible, and easy to use tool.
- Three year Warranty. (which Mercenary doubles to 6!)
- Includes plush foam cut case which fits the PCP, the PCP Power Supply and Cables.
You must feed your API line in, not mic in. The PCP has 15 db of gain, a typical passive DI loses 15 to 20 dB of gain so that is why DIs are typically plugged in a mic input, but there are a few out there, all active, that require you plug line in and the PCP is one of em.
You was right, i've try it and it work fine. I still have one question, i've try to do some A/B real guitar signal versus a reamp signal in a miked guitar amp and the original signal are more focus, more sharper than the reamp one, the reamp one seem to have little less gain,less buzz,like if something was lost during the reamp process. I use the exact same setup for recording the the real and the reamp signal. Am I expecting too much, (is) there something else that i can do to resolve that problem.
I presume you are taking the direct signal off the PCP to protools or tape then running it back to the amp (reamping) through the XLR in A,B,orC then out to your amp. If that is the set up and you are losing something, while reamping plug the guitar in to the PCP and set the guitar next to the amp (the same distance from the amp as you were playing it )select on the PCP the instrument button as well as the A,B,or C button, what you are hearing or not hearing could be the interaction of the amp and guitar, the amp will vibrate the strings changing the sound a bit. - Jonathan Little
