Yes, That was what I was trying to do. Thank you very much for your reply too. I wanted to have the feel of playing through my Marshall Tube amp, while also recording a clean dry signal to reamp later through my Mesa, which I would then blend with the Marshall. I previously tried to just record a DI, direct into my Apollo, while having Helix Native on, but it didn't feel the same, and I felt the quality of the Reamp track was somehow different than what was being recorded directly through the amp. I will try both suggestions to see which one works better for me. It will depend on the quality I can get from the reamp, as compared to the live amp track. If I can get a good reamp track, then I can use the HXFX exclusively, but if the Mesa doesn't track as well as the Marshall, then maybe I will split the signal before the HXFX, and use a DI for reamping some room mic tracks later, and use the HXFX to split out to both my tube amps at once and record those live into my Apollo. The only problem with that method would be that I would have to buy both the DI box and a second Load Box, because I am using Impulse Responses, and didn't want to spend another $300-400 for a second load box. Thank you both for your time. Both suggestions have been very helpful.

Ok, that sounds good. The Samson MDA1 has lots of good reviews, and isn't that expensive, so it's definitely worth a try. I am excited to try it out. Thank you very much for your reply.

Thank you very much for your reply. That’s really cool. I was actually looking at the same DI box. I wanted to initially go into a DI box, which would split the clean DI to my apollo, then the other output to the hxfx then split the signal to two tube amps and blend them together, but then thought it would be cheaper to play one amp live and split the hxfx’s second signal as a DI and reamp that to my second amp to blend later. I got cold feet because youtube videos were saying you needed more expensive DI boxes to avoid signal degradation and since I never worked with a DI before I didn’t know what to believe. I also got confused because I am using both a Les Paul with paf pickups and a 7 string schecter with active pickups and they were saying for active pickups to use a passive DI box and for passive pickups an active DI box, and I didn’t want to buy two. I am double tracking guitars and using a different guitar for each track. Have you compared the signal quality from the samson DI to your line 6 stomp direct to see if there is any difference in tonal quality? I want to try to get the best signal possible when I reamp. Thanks again.

Hi, I am interested in reamping my electric guitar in my home studio. Would I be able to split the input of the Hxfx and have output 1 going to my tube amp, then use Output 2 or Send 1 as a completely clean DI to my uad apollo input in place of a DI box, which I could then use to reamp later? If so, do I have to do anything special or use a specific output setting? I figured I would check before I purchased a DI box.
