i got this idea off of this board in the "recordiing techniques" section. for recording heavily distorted guitar, mixing a separate clean signal in with the distorted one will help give it tone, and bring out the sound of each note... SO i made a diagram of a possible guitar setup. i used a D.I. box before my distortion effects and sent both the distorted signal and the clean signal to a mini mixer board. then out from the mixer board into my amp. then for live/recording, i will mic the amp. here is a diagram of what im talking about.

do you guys see any problems with this idea? im kinda confused about balanced/unbalanced signals. should i only have the DI box after my effects and stuff? if so, how could i split my signal so i could have one going to my pedal, and one straight to my little mixer?
(*EDIT - I made a better diagram. I love photoshop! It almost looks like a setup diagram from a guitar magazine!)
