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.

Should I have something in the chain to match impedance, or is the clipping__
just because my pickup signal is too high? I can eliminate it by turning the
guitar or the pre-amp down but this can lose tone.
Second Question
The mic input feeds to Alsa PCM Inputs 5 and 6, but of course is just 2
identical streams. I have been recording the guitar to a stereo track using
both channels but wondered whether there was any benefit in doing this, or
whether it would be better:
* take a single input and split it to a stereo track?
* take a single input and record it as a mono track?
* take a single input and feed it to a mono-stereo plugin and record
it as a stereo track?
