On my StudioLive AR8, ports 1 & 2 are labeled Line/Inst, so I think you should be good to go. (mine also has a L/R Lin in channel, which is what I would use.)
According to the Presonus owner's manual, they do not recommend it. This quote is direct from the manual.I have a Fender Super Champ x2 USB amp. Can I run a cable from the amp’s LINE OUT to the AudioBox Interface INST/MIC input to record? I’m using Studio One Artist 4 DAW.
Thanks
According to the Presonus owner's manual, they do not recommend it. This quote is direct from the manual.
"Plugging a line-level source into the instrument inputs on the front of the AudioBox USB96 not only risks damage to these inputs but can also result in a very loud and often distorted audio signal."
I'm somewhat surprised by this disclaimer.
Thanks paparaptor. I read the same thing but I've been reading online forums there are players who use this setup. One guy actually claims that the second input is a "dedicated line input" but I'm hesitant to give it a try. Oh well I can always mic the amp or use a usb connection but it's a pain in the butt with this setup. And besides all the plugins sound pretty good too.
Presonus suggests that you use a D.I. box if you're feeding it a line level input. They likely have a good reason. You can pick up a passive DI box for under $20. If you Google "Cheap DI Box" you can find a Monoprice passive box for $8.99 on Amazon. If you have Amazon Prime, the shipping is free. Monoprice also sells it on their website, but for some reason, they want $4 more for it. It's cheap insurance.
Copy that email and put it somewhere you can't lose it! You've got it straight from the horse's mouth.
