![]() You also even have a volume control to fine-tune it. Often it's not clear on a mixer but clicking the button sorts out the problem by either boosting or reducing the signal. The DACCAPO comes to the rescue with a switch to choose the option you need. Connecting -10 to +4 will be too weak and you might not even hear it. Connecting a +4 output to a -10 input won't sound good because the level's too high. Professional audio equipment is referred to a +4dB and the consumer stuff is -10dB. 'Line level' comes in two shades in the audio world, depending on whether it's professional audio equipment or consumer equipment. If that's all it did, this box would be worth the money but it also has some very useful additional features. The noise can't get through the box but the signal can. This ground loop problem is perfectly resolved by the DACCAPO box because the audio signal goes through a transformer and is effectively decoupled. If we simply connect the signal straight into mixer, we will also be getting all kinds of 'ground noise', noise generated by the amplifier because it's connected to the mains supply. Unfortunately it's not quite that simple, and that's where this DACCAPO box comes in. The answer was to put the line out from the amp through a dummy load first (because it's not safe to turn a valve amp on disconnected from the speaker - it needs to be connected to something that looks like a speaker resistance-wise) and then to get the audio signal into the mixer. I could have put a mic in front of the amp but I didn't want the sound of the amp itself to be heard elsewhere. ![]() The line out was positioned after the effects in the amp so I wanted to use the high-quality amp effects in recording. Until quite recently I had not used any reamping but the problem it solved for me was getting a line level ouput from a guitar amp into an input on a USB mixer to record it.
