Stereo delay, distortion and a porta02...

[Hairy Al]

ok, so here's my problem:

i wanna record mostly with clean stereo delay from my zoom player 2020 and later go into distortion and at one point have a delay trail off of a heavy chorus into the clean guitar with the delay. should i mike up two amps and record two track simultaneously or is there a better way?

oh yeah i'm a bit of a poor student, so expensive ideas probably aren't a good idea. as for recording, i've only got a potra 02, a computer with a poor soundcard just about running cool edit and one samson s12, and one computer mic. i'm using a squier telecaster though(!)

anyway, if anyone can provide help i'd be very grateful, cheers.

I can only speak to one part of your problem:it's been my experience that delay always sounds better after distortion,not before.Distortion tends to make the delay seem louder and obviously less distinct.The sound is more intelligible when distortion precedes delay.Cheers!
