[LAU] Terratec DMX 6Fire 24/96 Mic Input (not Linux specific)

[bradley newton haug]

David,

I would consider using a DI box.. You may also wish to consider miking an
amp, even an SM57 sounds great.  A nice recording amp with a powerbrake will
sound like a stack at full blow on 2.

as for splitting the signal, it's  a decent idea, in a perfect guitar setup
you want to record a DI box and a mike on different tracks so that later you
can go back and 'reamp' or 'remike' your dry signal by running it through an
amp/mike and rerecording it if the original amped track proves troublesome.

if you have noise contraints, I'd suggest at the very least a DI box.

best
