Electric guitar - Live - Reamp box - Tube Amps?

[Jekblad]

Many times I have tried to marry my guitar rig with Ableton. Generally plugging into the tube amp at the end sounds worse than just plugging straight in, noise etc... tube amps operate a lot different vs a PA system or keyboard amp.

Does anyone have experience running a reampbox in between Live (or guitar rig etc) and into an amp?
Would this school of thought also apply to running an iPad into a tube amp?

I really want the flexibility and awesomeness of Live for my FX, but nothing beats strat into marshall pushing air in my book.

Yes I have reamped and I agree with you. No plugin can replace a real amp (not yet anyways).

I use the Little labs red eye 3d for reamping. Also doubles as good DI.

Worth the while to interface your computer (or Ipad) with equipement designed for guitar (amps, pedals, etc..)

Radial Engineering makes a full line of reamp products:

I use the Radial Reamp JCR, although only in a studio application. Never tried doing it onstage in real time.
