Hi, I've recorded some acoustic guitar, but never an acoustic/electric (ovation). What's the best way to go: straight from the guitar to a preamp with a line in or mic it? I can use either a Fender Twin or a Marshall 9200 dual monobloc. I'm looking for to get that Al DiMeola type of...

Hi, I just bought a Joe Meek VC2 and on the back it has a hidden ohm switch which can be set at either 50 or 200 ohms. How should I set this switch to get the best sound? Thanks Torsten
