Running drum tracks through guitar pedals

Message Bookmarked

Hypothetically, what are some good ways to run my acoustic drum tracks through effects pedals in a hard disc recording situation?

I thought of getting the tracks onto a four track or something and then recording them back into the computer through the effects, or maybe even sending the mic signal through the effects during recording, if possible. Is there a standard/easy way?

do you have the capability to use outboard on your DAW? because surely you could use the pedals as a normal outboard insert

on the very first album i made, the only outboard effects we had were a boss pedal compressor and a boss pedal reverb/delay

That easy, huh.

I don't have my setup together yet because I don't have the space, but I'm kinda planning things out.

If you have an adapter to match impedance from a mic to a line input, you can run a mic right into an effect pedal. (I regularly use a Rat as a mic preamp this way for distorted vocal tracks. In fact I use my Rat more on mics than I do on my guitar.)

(Example of what you need to run a mic into a line input can be seen here)

I had to take this link out of the gallery context to link directly to it (it's a frameset), but this thread made me laugh and think of this picture on the Moistboyz site gallery:
