I have a gk 800rb and want to record demo's on my friends mac computer with his Fast track pro. I've only heard of people micing the guitar/bass cab with a head. Can I do this or will I just have to buy a Sansamp/ or another preamp? |

Might need to turn the gain all the way down, since I have not found a way to defeat the preamp entirely, and the XLR signal should be line level.)
That's about it. |
