Re: Guitar Amp to DI cable question?


Guitar amp speakers and cabinets are far from attempting to linearly reproduce the amp output voltages they receive, so a flat DI from that point will lose most of that cabinet/driver's intentional designed in voicing. 


I have seen dedicated DI for this application that included some simple EQ to tweak the dry DI signal to be a somewhat better representation of the amp sound. Guitar amps are part of the musician's sound so flat DI is less realistic than putting the amp in an isolation box or room offstage and micing that.
