I'm Thinking direct line in AND mixed..but need a good condenser Mic not A Shure sm57

An SM57 will work in a pinch, but the high end drops right off (and there are some hyped mids) that a condenser will pick up.
I've been recording my nylon string with a condenser about 18" out (further than when I record a steel string) - gives the sound a chance to 'bloom' and lessens the 'pop' of the picked string. I haven't tried it plugged in at all for recording. I used to do that with my steel string, but realized the harsh piezo sound really didn't add anything good - best to capture the sound better with the mic.

I am not sure about the particular Fishman product I have but some have a Mic sand the piezo under the saddle pickup that you can blend the two or just accentuate 1 or the other to reduce the "harshness"..

Guitar Mike..your opinion please on the Roland AC 33 acoustic guitar amp..sounds killer on the YouTube commercial

more test run.. analog delay set at 75ms ..volume on guitar turned up a speck..master volume on VOX MINI 3 turned down a speck..a guy could spend weeks tweaking knobs..HA HA

No personal experience. Are you primarily looking for a battery-operated amp? (For busking?) the mfr hype of 'stereo' is BS - with speakers that close together there is no real stereo imaging. They don't offer a rechargeable battery pack for it, so you're stuck filling it with batteries or using your own rechargables.
If you're also using a mic, there' s no master volume control, just the channel controls. Ignore the looper - tryiung to control a single-button style is difficult enough, then try to do it with a finger-push button ...
And it's $400 new!

The new FIshman Loudbox Mini Charge looks pretty good, and gets good reviews from the forums, but its $500.

Just so I'd have a battery-operate amp (with mic input) in case I needed it, I got one of these when it was on sale for $99 (free shipping). It's not super loud, but it'll work for busking. I wouldn't use it for a paying gig.

I did a demo with it on youtube, I'll find the link and post it.

ok, here is a Toneport UX-2 interface with Gear Box and Ableton Live Lite 9.0 recording software and Guitar Mike I prefer the miced Tascam DR-05 recording over this artificial sound although I did have the Gear Box set to 'Lux Verb Chorus which might be the cause of the cheesy tone? you might be right.Guitar Mike will need to do recording with a microphone and disregard line in to the interface..

Can't listen here at work... Gearbox is OLD, Line 6 discontinued it about 10 years ago. PodFarm was the upgrade. You can download the free standalone version, but it has very limited sims (they want you to buy the full version) and can't be run as a plug-in in a DAW. I've got the full version, but these days mostly only use it for bass DI recording.
The PodFarm sims were a generation+ better than Gearbox.
New Line 6 software is called 'Helix' - same as what Haley has with his pedal setup, but just software. It's sims are another generation+ better, but its real expensive.

great action! on this $275.00 shipped guitar bought off ebay!! just horsin' around!
