i have been recording guitar from my amp directly into the zoom by running a cable from the amps extension speaker jack to the zoom. i prefer this to a mic , i dont have to worry about outside noise,my kids making a racket etc . it works great only problem i have is even with the levels set at there lowest on the zoom , the slightest increase in gain or volume will create peak levels in the zoom the red light blinks on every strum... will a DI or audio interface fix this and let me control levels better ? i want to be able to run the amp at abit of volume .any help or advice greatly appreciated cheers steve
