The main reason I chose the Element over any other DAI was because I want to record my son who plays through an older Vox 15. It’s a 15 watt tube amp that only has an out for an extension cabinet. No DI or other outs.
My original plan was to get a DAI and use a microphone for recording him.
$150 for DAI with USB 3
$100 for a microphone (like a Shure SM57)
Or
$250 for an Element
With the Element having both the option to use the Instrument IN and use the software guitar amp and cab sim or use the connection from the VOX 15 extension cab out to the Element using the Amp IN connection.
My assumption is the Extension speaker OUT is a parallel connection like you find on many other cabinets. Can anyone see a fault in this logic?
