Can I plug an electric bass AND guitar into this preamp at the same time and run it to a computer for recording?

I think you can. I also use it as a bass "preamp" with the output going into a small practice amp. Adds a lot of warmth. Good luck!

I really don't know if you can or not...my husband has his big guitar amp plugged into it and it works ok.

You can but you might not get the sound you want (depending on your style). You can do a lot of damage plugging a bass into a guitar amp though.

Sure you can. This preamp surpassed my expectations. Gives you a very good control of you different audio sources and very good audio quality.

It has the correct size plugs, only stereo, not mono, as your guitar would use. It uses RCA outputs, so I assume if you hooked it up to a digital recorder it should work as a preamp.

Of course you can. Just plug it in to the mixing board with phantom power enabled via a good quality XLR cable and make sure your levels are right, and you're set. The configuration really depends on what mixing board you can afford to get.

The front panel has a single guitar input and stereo guitar out and a single phantom powered XLR microphone input. So you could do entire projects via USB. I haven't ever used it that way, I have a MOTU firewire interface. I plug the stereo XLR's into the MOTU and use it as a guitar pre-amp/effects unit. There are a couple of line inputs on the back.. check the specs on the Avid website.

Only if you need more that 2 inputs. You would need a phono preamp however if you were using a turntable.

Just use the Outputs...mono or stereo, with standard guitar/instrument cables... mono with one amp... left and right stereo with two separate amps or stereo mixer.

I don't think so. It's just a pre amp, I think you need a mixer, which btw you can get cheaper.

Windows sees it as a USB microphone and no drivers were needed. So basically you can use you computer as an amp. Or... you can even plug the guitar and record it using any windows audio recording program. Or... you can plug in a regular mic in at the same time and record yourself singing and playing the guitar.

I don't think so since mine plugs into my PreSonus Tube Prev2 preamp but I'm not sure. You will need to power the mic which is what the preamp does and you will need a mixer and I have the M-Audio FASTTRACK PRO mixer. Sorry I'm not much help. I went to Guitar center and talked to the engineers there about the set up.

Technically yes, but it's not really designed for that. You would have to take the LINK output and run it to an existing audio interface on your computer. If you're looking to record multiple instruments, you may have better success using a mixer and a USB audio interface. Check out the Behringer Xenyx 1204USB.

No, I have a Stratocaster electric guitar and all I have to do is plug the cable from the guitar to the USB port on the computer. You need a program (such as Audacity, (a free program) or some other recording program,to record with) ,then select the correct input port on the computer to be able to see the input signal, and that's it.

You can. I have a four channel mixer that I run my guitar to ( it's an Lexicon Lambda) it works great when I'm recording piano or guitar. I use a pair of Audio Technica headphones to listen to my mix plugged into my Lexicon. When I don't use my Lexicon I just run straight through my speakers when I'm mixing virtual instruments.

If you wish to record your bass into the computer, you will likely need some sort of DAW (digital audo workstation) or other software that will record. I assume you plan to plug this into a mic jack. Typically, you need a Firewire unit to have instrument signals communicate with a computer. (i.e. Presonus Firewire audio box see: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/AudioBoxUSB/) This allows you to interface an instrument with a computer.

Either will work. If you plug into the pre-amp your PC can be one of the components you can select to hear.
