Wondering if its possible to play A/E guitar through this type of system, or is it a whole nother animal? Jeff W.

Some 1/4" jacks and a 1/4"toRCA adapter. Plug your RCA jacks into your receiver Guitar -1/4" jack to DI- 1/4"jack to Mixer -RCA Jack to Receiver....

But if you get a modeling DI (I have the behringer tube ultragain mic200) you can shape the sound and warm it up. This set up produces a very natural acoustic sound. You can get surprising volume.
