Absolutely, and stereo is key here, although I found my 48 power supply bulky 
and If I want to capture a sound quickly, it wouldn't be nearly as handy as the 
iRig pre. Right now, I live in Saigon with an epidemic level drive-by thief 
ridden urban area, that I wouldn't even feel safe enough to pull out a cell 
phone, much less anything as big as my 48, but talking (hot house) apples 
compared to nature. 

Best,
