1) I should know this and 2) I should just go try it. But it's SO much easier just to post the question here ...

On guitars with Optima preamps and dual XLR and 1/4 TS outputs, does the XLR if connected, cut off the 1/4 output? Or can you run BOTH?

Both. I was messing around over the weekend with the XLR and 1/4" outputs into the board, with a mic at the soundboard and another at the headstock pointing down the fretboard (thanks for the tips Miles and PT). Kinda fun, especially when mixing phase, effects and pan ...

Yeah, you can run both, but when I tried running both into my Genz-Benz, the volume from the XLR was about twice that of the 1/4. Tone is better, too.

Seems like a medusa of wire, but I suppose you can run 1/4 to yer amp as a monitor, and XLR to the board. Akk... who'd wanna carry that tho.
