Message: <blockquote data-quote="funkywrench" data-source="post: 108871" data-attributes="member: 1758">I currently own an RM50 combo that I was considering selling to move to a head/cab setup. Since then, I've started to consider buying an RM4 instead of an RM50 head and running through the power section of another amp (rather than buying a dedicated power amp).It also occurred to me that the RM4 could be a pretty easy way to do noiseless recording since I wouldn't need to bother with a load like I would for an amp with a power section (that is correct, right?).Now I've only ever recorded previously using either a line out from an attenuator (and using cab impulses), or miking up a speaker, or using full amp sims like Amplitube.Since recording with an RM4 direct cuts out the power amp and cab, how do the guys recording with these compensate for that? Is there a need to compensate or do they sound fine with just a cab impulse? Can you achieve a recording that sounds similar to a full amp with cab setup just using the RM4?Also, I assume they output at line level as opposed to instrument level too right?Is there anything else I need to know?</blockquote>
