How far away is the mixing console? You can run into all sorts of problems with long 1/4" cable runs.
Btw, you can certainly DI a guitar and get very decent results...it all depends on the sound you're after and what kind of pickup you've got on the guitar, etc...In fact, there have been times where the DI sounds better than mic'ing the amp (blasphemy I know).
All I can say is give it a try and if you like the results, then don't worry about the image of what is "proper"...it's music, be creative, but don't settle for less either.
Btw, how does your guitar playing friend practice if he doesn't have an amp? I can understand if its just acoustic, but you mentioned he's using a distortion pedal...
he has one of them little cheap fender 1 watter,the board is within 20 feet I was hoping to put his guitar/pedal through the board direct/di'id for now if that would work, the setup i use has plenty of power so thats not a problem. if not i'll have to pitch in for either a Vamp or a small amp for him. I just didnt want to do it direct without knowing more just in case their was a risk of damaging something.
Thanks
All your bass belongs too me.
