As i can't test it yet because this older PC does not have decent firewire, and my new PC is still a few days away from arrival, i need to ask my noob question here..
I have read the manual but could not really find anything on this subject..
I know that channel 1 and 2 are mic inputs with decent pre-amps build in, however that is no option for me now as im wont be micing up amps or vocal chords in the near future.
What i want to try is give the old POD XT a break and try impulses and amp-sim software like revalver, amplitube, wagner, etc.
Can i go straight into the FF400 with my guitar? (EMG 81/85).
Or is it recommended or even neccesary that i use a external pre-amp for better sound/input?
Im planning the same with a bass guitar, just really curious if a exta pre-amp is needed for all of this.
Probably extremely noobish, but hell.. im used to software only, so any help is appreciated.. cheers!
