[QUOTE="Rob Timmerman, post: 209549, member: 172"] One rule of thumb is that if the amplifier is an integral part of the guitar sound (typically the case with electric guitars, but not typically the case with acoustic guitars), you should mic tha amp. If the guitar amplifier is not (supposed to be) modifying the sound, a DI will generally give you an easier signal to work with. Note that the same general rule applies to other instrument amplifiers as well. In the case of the "modeling amplifiers", I'll generally take a "post modeling" direct out (although I haven't seen that many in the wild). [/QUOTE]
