ok i know its a good idea to use a preamp for recording direct with guitar. this is a dumb question but im wondering if you should use it with a mic too. The reason i ask is because i am (for the time being) micing my amp sending that into my mixer and then mixer hooks to the pc, and im using free software just so i can record a little and get my ideas down since i dont have a good setup yet. Anyway when i record my amp with my guitar distorted it can often sound pretty crappy and im not sure why, and i think there are preamps in my mixer anyway... is this something i should fix with the sofware? like use a compressor or something? or what?

Yeah, the Sans Amp has been around forever. I would say it's not quite as flexible as, say, the POD XT, but the POD is really the worst offender on losing the bottom end. I'd prefer the XT over the Sans Amp, though, because I don't think I'd really use either unit for recording guitar (you have to keep in mind that I have a Triple Rec on top of a 1960).
If you want to try out a POD you should just pick one up at Guitar Center, use it for a few weeks, and see if you like it. They have a good return policy
