From the pedals, you will then connect to your amplifier.Although don’t overdo it as this could add unwanted noise to the chain. Firstly the guitar is plugged into any pedals you want to use.If you are lucky enough to have a guitar amp in the home studio then your signal chain is likely to be as follows. Not only will this keep our costs down but it means less chance of any confusion or of things going wrong. In the home studio, we want to keep the signal chain as simple as possible. So before you come to record make sure you are familiar with your amplifier or pedals that will be generating that distorted tone. You can always add some more distortion effects in your DAW but you can never get rid of the distortion. Guitars tend to sound more distorted on a recording so always air on the side of caution. If you record with too much distortion then there isn’t an easy way to turn the distortion down when mixing. Don’t rely on the mixing process too much to get the tone you desire. It is important to get the recording sounding as good as you possibly can. By allowing the sound waves to interact with the air before being picked up and processed by the microphone brings the sound to life. Using an amplifier and microphone or microphones to record your distorted guitar is still the best way to capture that live sound. Recording distorted guitar using an amplifier and microphone(s) I’ll explain how you do each of these in more detail below: You can plug your guitar directly into your audio interface or via a DI box and add distortion effects in your DAW.You can do as above but instead of using a microphone use the line-out setting on the amplifier.Then using a microphone or microphones to record the sound. ![]() Playing through an amplifier with either a built-in distortion effect or using a distortion pedal.
