| Dec 10, 2010 at 17:13 | comment | added | Jeff Rupert | @Pelle: As I mentioned in an update to the question, the amplifier will not be directly involved with recording, merely used for playback. Good point, though. =) | |
| Dec 10, 2010 at 15:56 | comment | added | Pelle ten Cate | I think recording the amplifier should be taken into account here, it is not always desirable to plug a guitar element inside your mixing console, unless you have specific instrument-inputs, in which case the issues you describe are of less matter. (Instrument inputs always have gain control, accept "instrument-level" signal and expect unbalanced cables.) If you don't have an instrument input and you still want to direct connect: use a DI. Takes care of balanced cables issue, and gets the signal so that it can go into any microphone input. | |
