If I use this while recording through my amp will I get the overdrive sound without the crackling sounds from the distortion?

The Behringer CS400 Compressor Sustainer doesn't "crackle" or "break up." Most prefer this effect to be the first in the pedal chain, to compress the original signal pre-distortion to avoid over driving. It is good for high sustain at low volume. You need to read about these effects and experiment for the sound you're seeking.

this pedal will add sustain to the notes you play like an overdrive pedal would but without the distorted sound. it takes the quiet parts and makes them loud and makes the loud parts quieter so its all the same volume. although its a clean sound the pedal still adds quite a bit of white noise when turned all the way up.

I haven't tried recording music, so I don't know. May try later, when it's not late. I only got it to create audio books of rare books and periodicals I have access to at a college library.FOLLOW UP: I put the unit up to my home stereo speakers. They were not at a deafening volume, but loud enough you wouldn't want to be sleeping in a room nearby. No distortions. I held the recorder right up against the speakers. It captured pretty good tone differences too, depending on which tweeters/cones I held it to.

Effects sound ok if you run the amp clean. If you use the amp gain it gets too muddy. There is not much clean volume either so keep that in mind.

Yes this amp has a good distortion. Also keep in mind many people use guitar effect pedals as well to get their personal tone, but to get started you should be fine with the distortion this amp puts out.

Hopefully I'm understanding the question correctly, but if you're using an external recorder for your primary audio, it won't matter a bit. This thing is on the output side of that device. If you're putting it between a pre-amp of some sort like a JuicedLink or whatever, then there might be some loss. On the other hand, if you want good audio, the in-camera recorder isn't the place to get it anyway.

Sorry, never tested in that environment. I personally only used it for in house solo recording and for the ability to get a nice tone at low volumes which this is perfect in that capacity. I do remember reading a review saying it was fine in a "garage band" setting so should be able to handle it. Really nice amp though for the money. Blows away anything in its price range.

I have NOT tried overdubbing - I have only used the ART for recording mono voiceover - I would doubt it, however. This is a very simple USB recording device.

It totally depends on the unit. Mine won't play back audio without crackles here and there but others don't have that issue. A bit of a crap shoot unfortunately. I still use a different interface for recording for what that's worth.

If your guitar is a simple one or a cheap one then yes would be my answer - assuming you mean guitar-&gt; pre amp-&gt; USB interface. If using better quality equipment or you have a humbucker pickup on your guitar then you may get too much signal resulting in some unwanted distortion.

the bass will not distort, but i have noticed when playing at high volumes the woffer tends to rattle a little bit. it is only noticable from a couple feet away though. the amp keeps clean bass at higher volumes.

I have a Fender guitar and a quality Fendar amp and a quality cable and mine made so much noise and buzz and no compression that I had to return it. It sounded like a fuzz unit to be truthful. I ran straight from guitar, through the unit, and into the amp. So it may have nothing to do I with your rig but more to do with a defective foot pedal. I'm still waiting for a replacement... based on comments, I hope they aren't just sending a single defective unit around and around to whoever will accept it.

There are few things that can cause distortion. In my experience this amp is not one of those things. Mic gain can easily cause too much distortion, especially if you us a amped mic. If you are using the 980 in ssb mode, it could be the coarse and fine clarifier need to be adjusted. I start with the coarse set dead center, there is an slight indent to let you know, The fine clarifier I usually keep a couple degerees clockwise from dead center.

ive experimented with running my mic through my pedal board for recording and it seemed to work fine however I prefer to use the reverb settings from the recording program. I cant see why it wouldnt work live but like the other guy said, you would need to use 1/4'' cable for your microphone.

Not necessarily. Sometimes it may seem that you lose some bottom end but, not really "tone". Not that I'VE noticed anyways. I read somewhere that when mic'ing an amp, sometimes the floor can have an adverse effect on the sound. I'm guessing it's a matter of taste.

you can do a reasonable facsimile of fuzz if you turn the distortion all the way up and turn down the volume knob on your guitar little. however, this pedal would not be classified as a fuzz pedal, because the fuzz pedal generally uses 1 or 2 transistor gain stages over driving another transistor. This pedal uses an op amp with clipping diodes . I like this pedal because it's versatile from a loose over drive all the way to distortion. if you want a versatile pedal that's a little tighter and does a better fuzz, check out the pro co rat or any of the clones of that circuit, e.g. GFS Brownie

Hi, yes because you have a separate input for the mic and also volume control for it. As with all line 6 stuff it sounds very good, you have to pay attention if you are using highly distorted models on the guitar because (as in 'real life' you can get a bit of hiss - just use the noise gate) hope that helps. No issues with the mic, depending on what else you are doing it has its own menus and settings, some of which are preset and some are very tweakable, if you sound bad it'll be your voice, not the amp ;0)

Nah man. I looked something up like that before. Its either your wiring in your house or you need to get your amp checked. Mine kinda makes a sound like that on OD2 on almost full gain and volume when my guitar is plugged in though. So check the wiring or you amp if nothing is plugged in and making that noise. Hope this helps.
