Now that I've got my 30, I made a discovery that is a bit frustrating. In the manual, it refers to splitting the signal so that the band tracks get fed through the line outs and the guitar through the speaker.

That works fine. Unfortunately, I assumed (yeah, I know :oops: ) that I would have the option of sending either band tracks or guitar to the line outs. As far as I can tell, that's not the case. There's only two choices: Band, or All. (likewise, the Speaker setting is either Guitar, or All)

Trying a workaround, I thought, "Well, if I feed guitar only to the speaker, and then if I use the headphone out as a line out, I will get only the guitar signal."

Nope. The headphone signal contains both band tracks and guitar, regardless of the routing choices.

My goal was simply to bring in two separate signals (to my computer via my Firewire interface), and record them as separate tracks. It appears that using the 30 in that manner is not possible.

I realize there are other possible workarounds, but I was already doing that when I had the 15.

If I'm overlooking something, I would really like to know, thanks!

What about loading the track onto the recording software, then play along with it from the amp to the recording software as another track?

Thanks for the suggestion, JoeR. Yeah, that's exactly what I was doing when I had the 15. It worked fine, of course.

I was hoping (OK, assuming) that having the line outs would provide the choice between guitar or band or all. Not just band, or all.

Guess I'll mosey on over to the feature request thread... ;)

followup edit: Huh. The amp forum has no feature request/wish list...(I do see the Fuse forum has one, though)
