Direct Out on SVT 3 for recording?

I play through a ampeg svt 3pro. I am am needing to record a track for my bands demo. I was wondering does anyone have sum advice for the best ways of doing it. I have a direct out balanced/unbalanced and also a preamp out. I'm not sure which I should use for recording. Just need sum advice...
Thanks :bassist:

Use the balanced line out with the pre-amp engaged, this will give you the best sound from that head.

I would consider re-amping the bass once the initial tracks are cut, this will give the bass more punch in the mix. You can blend the DI and the amp together for an overall better blend!
