This applies for microphone-preamps and recordingpreamps for Instruments (that are made to yield a hifi-signal), yet the average guitar-preamp is designed to be plugged into a poweramp, that propagates the signal via a speaker to the audience. In my experience the signal of such a guitar-preamp is not very useable if it arrives the soundcard completely "unspoiled" (I used to record guits with a H&K preamp some years ago and had to buy a cheap mixer with a graphical EQ to get a signal that had the qualities i would expect from the same guitar plugged into a real amp...). But besides all that: TRY! ;-) the best sound, you can get is the sound you like best. Or as Frank Zappa said to Queens Brain May: "If you are on stage, it is your show: you decide, what´s wrong or right." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE++GB1Aecwva1SWMRAuweAJ9W3I2aJlqMvraUIdpho8d7BnGR6wCeIbTt 1FZlw1HtUq+i4vslr578xMc= =uWgk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
