Recording: Slave our and Micing?

[ibanez4life SZ!]

Hey guys!

Most direct boxes are pretty cheap.....so, I thought that I would go out and give one a try with my recording setup!

What would you recommend? Certain brand or model?

Most importantly, could I run both my direct signal (from the slave out), and recorded signal, with my SM57, into my interface, two record the two slightly different tracks at once?

Anyone have any experience with a Recto and a Direct Box?

Thanks for all the help!

Actually according to Mesa the slave out comes after the power amp. But you are right, it doesn't have any cabinet simulation.

From what I understand Hughes & Kettner RedBox are rated high and you might also consider the Behringer Ultra-G GI100 or used Digital Music CabTone.

And BTW, you could have up to 3 recording sources at once:

- Mic
- Direct Box
- Slave Out

Or you could also maybe try sending the Slave Out to a Line In input on a Direct Box. Play around and move the mic around. Have fun. Provide some clips!
