Works quite well as a direct box for going into the church sound system without any extra buzz, so I haven't had to use the ground lift switch

If you use the box like a recording box, connect it with a XLR female cable to a mixing console or a computer

This box delivers a variety of voicings from your electric guitar to a PA/mixer

I like this box so much, I'm not going to bother with the Sansamp GT2.
