First time. Now putting on a new set of<br>strings.<br><br>Got a 1/4" wire and a passive direct box that's already used for a<br>Wavedrum. Got also a small guitar amp with an headphone out jack, as<br>an option. The audio card is a M-Audio 1010LT.<br><br>Can I simply take the 1/4" wire from the passive direct box and connect<br>it to the guitar ? I believe there's a guitar processing app out there<br>called something like rackarrack or such. Does this work through jackd<br>as in doing the audio routing using qjackctl ?<br><br>Alternatively if I want the amp's sound and processing, I can simply<br>use the amp's headphone out, although I'd like to try the computer<br>based only interface and processing.<br><br>Cheers.<br><br><br><div>Hi happy Canadian guitarist :)</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14130"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14251">IMHO, best chain for the hardware you describe is</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14250" dir="ltr">guit>DIbox>1010LT>QjackCtl>Guitarix>QJackCtl>1010LT>guit amp</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14202" dir="ltr">if you only want to play guitar with Guitarix FX & modélisation?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14204" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14245" dir="ltr">TIP: don't forget to put a hard limiter before Guitarix out, this (very nice)</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14246" dir="ltr"> software (available in french)))) is able to produce very hard level...</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14293" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14304" dir="ltr">HTH, have fun!</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14305" dir="ltr">Fred<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14201" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14195" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437307933427_14129"><br></div><br></div> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div></body></html>
