Yes. You will need high quality DI box and the Reamp box. This technique is well known and long time in use.

Splt yer guitar signal and send one to the amp or POD of your choice and the other to a DI box. That way you record the clean signal and still have a distorted scratch track.

Then re-amp the clean DI signal.

Yep I typically DI the electric guitar as well as record the amp'd guitar. I have a custom DI, but most DI's can provide 2 outputs, one for the console and one for the amp.

It just gives a few more options.

I too use Link's method of "printing" both, and then manipulating the clean track AFTER the talent leaves. I have just begun working with Guitar Rigg II for this purpose. Works pretty well, and "re-amping" isn't necessary!

Thanks guys.
Looks like I will be using this method for a while , whilst I'm experimenting to get the kind of sound I'm after.
Guitar rig looks a good option, even if it only simulates a kind of sound your after, gives you something to work from.

The guitarist in my band demonstrated Guitar Rig II for me. I was quite impressed. He and I are both VERY fussy about amp sounds. My first gear addiction was amps. I think the amp is more important to my guitar and/or bass sound than the guitar or bass!

Just my 2 cents...
