You can use the trs send jack on your amp to record directly into your 192.

Both operate on a line-level signal. The 192 inputs are balanced, but should work fine with the unbalanced send from your amp.

would that be the effects send 1/4 female on the back of the acoustic amp? when your saying TRS Send? thanks really new to this

Yep, same thing - Use the 1/4 send jack on the back of your amp.

Will the line output do the same thing? I have a 3 pin microphone jack on the back of the amp that I could use a mtcrophone cord that I have. The cord I have is microphone on one end and 1/4 inch male on the other its called a monster studiolink, prolink? thanks appreciatte all your help....Very cool to here from you.

If the amp has a balanced (3 pin xlr/microphone) line output, I would definately use that to feed into the 192.
