One point that was earlier made here when I was asking lots of
questions (not that I've quit doing that...) is that there should be as
few as possible of components in the path so that the sound source goes
into digital as soon as possible.  The preamp of the guitar has no
headphone jack.  Only a 1/4 standard jack for instruments.  The preamp
of the guitar is battery-powered.  Is routing the signal through a
mixer the only way to go ?
