I went the ABY splitter route. I got an EHX one today and it works excellently and is a simple non-janky solution.

Line level works as you can adjust the gain level of the cable and let software unfuck any problems. For multiple real amps you need an A/B/Y or a reamp box as mentioned. ReAmpers are just a circuit with a 1k:600 ohm step down transformer and a few resistors to drop the signals impedance level close enough to an unamped guitar signal.

All this talk of lag and wiring, here's what I currently use: guitar - RS cable - USB extender cable - PS3 I had major problems getting the guitar in tune when I used guitar - extension - RS cable - PS3. So, I decided to go digital at the earliest opportunity and all the problems went away. Maybe it was a lovely extension cable or barrel connector. Dunno and don't care to investigate now that things work well. By the way, adding the original RS songs to RS 2014 was shockingly easy. It's a pain to navigate through all them all on the PS3. Not a huge deal as most of the time is spent on the fret boar, not the game pad.

I run two lines TO a splitter. no line out is needed. Guitar to pedal board (wah before pitch shifter, then other pedals) which then goes into one fork of the Y. The rocksmith cable goes into the other fork of the Y. The merged line (bottom of the Y) goes to the input jack of the amp. There is nothing needed to split other than a $5 splitter from Amazon. To pitch shift you get what you paid for. I dropped almost $200 on the digidrop but my god it has no lag and even sounds good clean.

I have an idea, I'll run it through and turn on the polytune that is next to it. Took less time than I thought https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZuDdk0-nnU E -> Eb -> D -> C -> B (it goes down to an octave below but I figured you'd get the idea) ignore the sock.

Behold! My new babby: It's one of these which just hit the market, is my understanding. I still need to replace the strings on it because they are lovely stock strings. They're also new so they go out of tune a lot so it makes playing Rocksmith difficult. Once they settle in I'm going to be running this through my POG2 and playing some geetar on the bass. Right now it doesn't work so well because the strings thing I think, but when I play my other basses through the POG2 it's just fine (other than trying to properly play full chords which is a bit tricky, for logistical reasons).

Ordered new pickups for my baritone in anticipation of Dethklok: http://www.guitarfetish.com/CLEARANCE-GFS-Calibrated-Pair-Ferrite-Zebra-Humbucker-Pickups_p_12185.html Will I regret this? Probably! Should be fun though.

OhDearGodNo posted:You won't regret it. Just gonna chime in to agree. I have quite a bit of cdlc in various tunings and it's so great not to have to tune down if I'm in a dumb metal mood. I just go from guitar to pedal to computer and it works perfectly.

I thought I had read that the rocksmith cable was sensitive and easy to overload/break by using line level or pedal outs. I guess that's not the case?

Preamps or any kind of distortion tends to gently caress up note recognition when it adds harmonics or modulates the fundamental frequency. Pitch shifters give a controlled modulation which is why they can be used to emulate different tunings in the game. Wah pedals are basically a tone control in a pedal so they don't change the fundamental note much at all.

Have to disagree. hammer down on my wah and the note recognition suffers, same with the phaser although to a lesser degree. The solution is to split my line from the pitch shifter, however the wah always has to go first so it's all moot.

Do tremolo systems place nice with Rocksmith? I remember earlier in the thread someone mentioned Floyd Rose's were a pain, but are all tremolo's like that?

DOOP posted:Do tremolo systems place nice with Rocksmith? I remember earlier in the thread someone mentioned Floyd Rose's were a pain, but are all tremolo's like that? They're fine if you don't change tunings. If you just have a regular tremolo, though, you should be fine. Edit: If you have a floating bridge tremolo system, then you are only good for one tuning. If you have a fixed bridge tremolo (most tremolos that aren't Floyd-Rose or Ibanez's copy of FR) you'll be fine.

As the others state, tremolos can be a real pain to work with if you shift tunings often. The best advice I got on it is that you don't need them if you don't use it. In RS2014, you don't need it.

I blew this game off for a long time because it seemed all "learn to play" and I already know how to play. But I saw some ad for 2014 and it mentioned being able to do improv jamming with a virtual band, which super appealed to me, and reading reviews said the game was better for experienced players than the first version. It was pretty cheap so I nabbed it. Frustrated the poo poo out of me for a few hours because I couldn't find the options menu to change the resolution, the game got stuck on the tuning screen and wouldn't let me go past (I think the cable doesn't play well with my SG, switched to my Les Paul and its working muuuuch better) and the strings were loving backwards! Also even though I told the game I was experienced, it starts me off on baby difficulty for all songs?! Anyways I got the resolution figured out and I reversed the strings and figured out how to turn up the difficulty for a whole song at once (way more complicated than it should be) now I'm loving jamming, man.  Just blew through Knights of Cydonia half from memory and half from sight reading, got like over 90% accuracy, feels pretty drat good. And I like how the game is now giving me hints to go practice the couple parts I was kinda shaky on to get better at the song overall. Probably shoulda just posted here first so you guys could tell me how to do all that stuff, but for some reason I didn't think there'd be a thread. Welp. unlawfulsoup posted:Pain to string, but they work fine in game if you aren't constantly shuffling tunings. gently caress alternate tunings anyway. Alternate tunings are a pain but the way the game auto launches the tuner to get you into the right tuning if it knows you weren't on that one for the last song is pretty drat handy. I usually say "gently caress it" to playing songs that need odd tunings but I could see myself trying new things with this.

If you get a D-Tuna installed, you could at least play standard E and Drop D songs without much hassle. I just don't use my super hairband metal guitar for Rocksmith though.

I bought some heavy gauge strings for down tuning but will it hurt/break them (or the guitar) if I tune them up to E sometimes? I only have one guitar.

Depends on how heavy / how downtuned, but yeah I still have 11s on mine from when I was playing in D a lot. Your intonation might be a bit crappy and the string height might be a bit much when you tune up, but otherwise it should be fine It's just extra tension on the instrument, if you have any serious problems it could make them worse, but that's just a general warning

I'm guessing my neck-thru guitar gives me extra tuning stability, but Eb, drop D, and open tunings don't really give me any trouble. D standard would be fine too, if only these songs didn't expect me to play above the 9th fret.
