I want to record direct from my line out of my amp, a Vox Valvetronix AD-60. I'm thinking of using a Behringer GI100 Ultra-G DI Box to get the cabinet simulation. I have heard that this gets good results. What I can't figure out is how to connect the Behringer GI100 Ultra-G DI Box to my cassette deck. I have plugged a mic into the line in on the cassette recorder to record previously. What type of cable would I use to go from Behringer GI100 Ultra-G DI Box to my cassette's line in? Here's a link to the DI Box.

Maybe, I'll just buy it and go to Radio Shack for a cable adapter. At least you have midi. Good luck.GMP Pawnshop Deluxe - Custom Custom Bridge, 59n

Re: Recording Direct from Amp
it's unlikley that you would need a Midi cable because midi is only (from what i know anyway) used for syncronising say a drum machine to a multi tracker and footswitches also..
Judging by the behringer website and not knowing what your recorder is i'd likley say that all you need it a cannon-to-cannon lead (standard microphone lead) to connect the DI box to your cassette recorder...
it should work once your cassette ecorder has an XLR balenced input (microphone input with the three pins)

Re: Recording Direct from Amp
Radio Shack makes an adapter that will keep your balanced input from the XLR (mic cord) and change it to a 1/4" plug.

Re: Recording Direct from Amp
although unless you already have a standars cannon to cannon mic lead you should just get a cannon to 1/4' jack , in ireland anyway they're only like €5 but the cannon t cannon are like €20..+ the adaptors will wear out too with use and i think the actual leads(cannon to jack anyway) are cheaper...

Re: Recording Direct from Amp
Well I got it all figured out. I went with an XLR cable to a 1/4" Line Impedance Trasnformer. $20 for the XLR cable and $15 for Line Impedance Transformer. Worked like a charm. I had to return one cable that was only XLR to 1/4". It made a buzzing sound like I was missing a ground somewhere. I needed the Line Impedence Transformer to go from the DI Box to my cassette deck. Here's a link: http://www.activemusician.com/market/items/MC_AMT1.asp
I figured this out after sending Behringer an e-mail. They actually aswered in less than an hour.
I have to say that the 4x12 cabinet emulation on the Behringer DI Box adds an extra dimension to the sound. It's very cool for heavier sounds, but I haven't been able to make it sound good for fender clean sound. Once I step up to a real recording solution on a PC, I'll post some sound files. One thing at a time, though. This guitar hobby gets expensive. I should have taken up boating.GMP Pawnshop Deluxe - Custom Custom Bridge, 59n

Re: Recording Direct from Amp
The DI box is really designed to go into a mixer. Instead of spending $15 for a transformer/adaptor, why not just buy the "little" Behringer mixer for $40? You'll get a lot more control, and a lot more versatility.

One of the great features of them, (and most mixers), is that you can plug a CD player into it, and play along with your favorite band.GMP Pawnshop Deluxe - Custom Custom Bridge, 59n
