Hello,
Although I have wanted to get an audio buddy to simplify things, it is not
necessary. If you are using a mixing board, you're set. I have two
behringer mx602a's which are nice and small for desktop use, and they give
me a lot of flexibility for in's and out's. I plug my guitar into a board,
and the outs to the Delat44 breakout box. Works great.
