ImRonBurgundy?:
so, i'm trying to record my guitar (DiPinto Galaxie IV) through my amp (Reverend 5-15 Goblin) into GarageBand 2. i started by mic'ing up my amp, using my Shure mic, but the mic picked up lots of background noise, and the sound quality of the guitar was absolute dog turd. my amp doesn't seem to have an audio out port, but there are a pair of jacks for an effects loop. now, from reading up on how these things work, in theory i should be able to send the amp's signal out to the computer and record it that way, right? however, i wanted to ask someone who has more experience with this sort of thing before doing anything that could potentially mess up my pricey boutique amp, or my pricey computer. thanks in advance!

Mikendher:
there's no out port on the amp? that's weird. you can certainly just send your guitar signal to the computer and then add effects there. you would have to describe exactly what other ports are on your amp for me to say whether those can go to the computer.

ImRonBurgundy?:
there's the effects loop output/input and then three speaker outputs, all classed for different resistances (4 ohm, 8 ohm--which the amp's speaker is plugged into, and 16 ohm), and there is no way in hell i am plugging my computer into one of those.

Mikendher:
the FX out is what you want. I have done this with mixers before; that should work.

ImRonBurgundy?:
thank you very much, kind sir.

THREAD OVAH.

not that there was much threat of anyone else posting in here, anyway...
