RD 210 - no signal output from line out sockets

trevjo7

Hi all

Would anyone know how I would be able to take a 'line out' from my amp so that I can record the guitar signal into my computer? I have tried to make various cables, and plugged them into each of the line out sockets, but neither have produced an output signal. I am baffled!

Hoping someone can throw some light on this for me.

Hi there,

you have to use a TRS (stereo) plug to tap into the RD/RP series patch sockets. The 'ring' is the output signal from each of the two patch points.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Thank you MGriffin for taking the time to respond.
Just checked out the manual for what looks like the right cord. Am I correct in assuming that the 'Master/Slave cord' will provide me with a signal from the amp to laptop from which to record?

Hi Guys

Thanks very much for all of your help previously. I've purchased a 'Y' cord as specified in the manual to try and obtain an output signal from my RD 210. The cord is then plugged into a toneport ux2 which then is fed into my laptop. The problem is the final signal is rather weak and 'trebly'. Again, any offers of help would be appreciated.
Has anyone any alternative methods of recording from the amp other than using a mic?

Thanking everyone who glances at this posting.

You can also use an attenuator in place of the speaker. You can build or buy load attenuators that allow you to use stereo headphones instead of the speaker (or both if you want). The headphone line out from the attenuator works for recording with the basic microsoft .wav recorder that is on my PC. You can search the web for simple homemade attenuators. I built the one shown. Use the largest wirewound resistors you can find...50 watts are reasonably priced, but the 100 watt and larger get pricey. There is a difference between the sound with the speaker and without. Or you can purchase fancier ones.
