Yes. I was speaking of line in, that's where you need a preamp, on mic in your pickup signal might be a bit to hot already, but in any case the impedance of the guitar pickup is too high (sorry i wrongly said "converted to high", meant "to low" above, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DI_unit for a good explanation). > > > A guitar amp with line out, or certain guitar > > FX processors will do, or you can try to find some cheaper device, look for at > > least a impedance converter(transformer), or an active (battery powered) D/I box > > with built in amplifier. > > Any recommendations for a cheap device that just does the job nicely? > not really; any active DI-Box will do, e.g.Behringer has cheap ones. Personally I use either my Roland GR-33 guitar synth (has built-in speaker simulation too), a cheap and small marshall valve-state guitar amp or an ancient Roland analog synth with pitch to voltage converter(P/V synth SPV 355, great stuff :)), or the (also ancient) Ibanez DM1000 12bit 19" delay processor for my electric guitars, and a Fishbone Preamp for the piezo pickup in one of my classical guitars.
