having a
battery doesn't mean a thing in regards to preamps, it means
it has an active rather than a passive pickup
But isn't the difference between
an active and a passive pickup, that
the active one uses the electrical energy to run a preamp (or an EQ as
well) --> "Active" as in "active signal modifying" ?
But most players will still connect the guitar to the instrument (thus hi-z)
input of their amp, regardless wether its one with active or passive
electronic. So the active ones have to prepare an output signal for hi-z.
Thats why you need DI-boxes or preamps with hi-z for recording direct.
But after I listened to some tubeamps and speaker-combos a friend of mine is
building himself: If you have an electric guitar, you should really
experiment with mic-ing the amp unless you really, really want to record the
plain signal and do it all digitally (by the fabulous CAPS-plugins for
example).
Have fun,
