1Posted on 10/27/2014 at 07:41:34Possible to monitor DI guitar through guitar amp?
being as how I don't possess a DI box, I'm trying to find a workaround for recording clean guitars directly into the interface, while routing the signal to the guitarist's amplifier with whatever cranked settings he chooses.
My plan: guitar --> 1/4 to 1/4 instrument cable --> interface --> record clean into a track --> interface unbalanced output --> RCA to 1/4 instrument cable --> cranked guitar amp
Will this setup work properly without damaging the amplifier?
It's not about what you got to use .... but how you use what you got...

You're wasting your time considering damaging an amp that probably costs more than the DI box that you'd need. just get a Radial Engineering ProRMP for less than a hundred bucks, that thing will last you forever and will cost less than trying and damaging an amp for a sub-par sound
