That would certainly help. There's a problem when you record that way. It lowers the volume slightly. This method is good for certain types of recording, though. If you want to simultaneously record to a tape player and the computer at the same time. Maybe use your amp to output some guitar you just recorded and change the settings of it from the amp, then send it back to the computer. It's also interesting to output your sound of your guitar while playing to multiple amps simultaneously.
