EXTC-Stereo Applications

Reamping via stereo effects

EXTC-Stereo acts as a bridge between the recording interface and stereo guitar pedals, making it easy to use your favorite effects pedals on any pre-recorded audio track. EXTC-Stereo converts the dry audio signal from line level to instrument level for processing through the pedals, then returns it to line level to record the results.

Connecting mono guitar pedals

Mono guitar pedals work equally well with EXTC-Stereo, and you can connect two sets at once to double your creativity. Connect one pedal chain to the left insert jacks on the EXTC-Stereo and the other to the right.

Reamping via one or two amplifiers

EXTC-Stereo can also be used as other Reamp boxes that feed your tracks through an amplifier. Connect the send jacks to the inputs of your amplifiers and use a microphone to capture the results.

Record directly from a pedalboard

With EXTC-Stereo you can connect your instrument and pedalboard to the line-level inputs of your recording device. Simply connect your pedalboard to the insert receive jacks and adjust the receive level control as needed.
