OT: How to mix guitar/synth/drum machines? Guitar DI vs Amp?
You might very well be the first tube amp guitarist guy how openly
recommends a digital modelling thingie because it's better in every way ;).
(me, I don't have a proper opinion on that myself - other that modelling
things work for me. Then, I never played guitar through a real amp, and
bass only occasionally through the TC Elliot in our rehearsal space back
then. On the other hand, I do have a few analogue synths (which I won't
replace with VSTis, but then again I also have far more digital synths
which I won't replace with VSTis, so...)
I can offer some thoughts regarding guitar DI.
Have you considered trying a digital amp modeler? Decent units cost
(new) from $200 (Digitech RP355) to $900+ (Avid Eleven Rack) and are
designed to sound like a mic'd amp. Bonus: they also have FX. Great
for recording; great for DI in any venue that provides a decent sound
system...
I ditched my tube amps five years ago. The only things I've given up
are amp volumes that can't be dialed down low enough for the room,
unexpected (and costly) maintenance,
