I guess I'll try a Y-cable to do this, but I'm sure there is a better way...
My bass players GK head sounds good, but it's has this annoying habit of crackling and sputtering every once in a while. He's had it "fixed" twice but to no avail. It' still does it after everything being resoldered. So far the best solution is to turn the head on it's end! go figure....
But anyway, It still does it every once in a while so recording direct from the head is pretty much out of the question. Micing it is often not an option cause the drum kit swallows up all my mics- and I usually like to record both at the same time to get a good feel.
HE has a Fishman preamp for his upright and sometimes uses it for the electric... hmmmm... so I want to split the signal to go into the head and also thru the fishman to the recorder.
Am I going to lose any of the signal if I just use a Y cable?
What kind/brands of Direct boxes would be good for this application??
