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).
