Strange rule, that.

There's a way out.

"Sansamp" from Tech21 -- older analog technology, this little pedal placed between your guit and the amp can alleviate that kind of situation, if you play there often, or are going to be faced with that kind of thing in future.


The Sansamp Classic rides along with my main guit in the case.

A Sansamp Bass original, the simplest one, also rides in my FenderBass case. (This one allows for Direct Input Recording that sounds like an Ampeg SVT set up in a big room with two cabinets and both near and room mics on it. Really.)

Not only can straighten out those places where they make you plug into their amps -- I originally go the first one for guitar because of a church that had the dumb idea that everybody must jack into the house PA system, ugh, but then found out how great these little devices can be for home recording as well.


Check 'em out. The "Classic" series, which is the least expensive, they are also often spotted on ebay at good deals as well.
