Record the output of the Axe FX, and at the same time record a direct guitar

what is a "pignose"


It's a solid state guitar amp that practically fits in your pocket.
Transformer output, tiny little speaker. Used to be very popular with
buskers on the subway. Actually gives a great variety of guitar sounds
in the studio and they are still $20 pawnshop items.

There are probably a lot of similar baby amps that will do just as well
but the Pignose is the one most common in pawnshops and dumpsters.
