Think of it like this...
It's like, if you bought a shirt that said "Chicago Bears" on it, that would be pretty alright, cause it's a common and standard thing to do... but if you wore a white t-shirt that said "CHOOSE LIFE" on it, and over that wore a black leather jacket that said "REVENGE" on the back of it, that wouldn't really be super alright.
Can I just point out that this post is hillarious?
Would that be OK Scott?
I could give a turd about my man's "Steve Rig," but this post is damn quotable.

43I do this:
guitar -> tuner pedal (which buffers signal) and split it from that. The bypass goes to a line with a volume pedal and distortions (sometimes before, sometimes after distortion) which allows me to control the level of distorted sound in the amp. The mutable side goes straight into my amp. My amp runs damn clean (sound city) So I can mute the clean side entirely, or mute the distortion side (with or without distortion on) with the volume pedals. This allows clean with all sorts of mixes of distortions. I don't generall have a problem with either side so long as the volumes are about equal or sligtly compensated. A good buffer pedal would let you do this with any two channel amp, seeing how most have to preamps tubes.

44From around 1978 through 1990 I used a guitar rig without any guitar amp per se and no mic's as well. My guitar went into a an initial line driver amp and then a bunch of effects including two distortion boxes in series (with a noise gate in between) echo and chorus.
The signal would then be split, one going directly to the mixing desk, the other going to a full-range power amp and fed to 2 full range (3-way) PA speakers stacked on top of each other.
Because there were no mics involved I could be sure that what I heard on stage was exactly what was being given to the house to mix. Using full range speakers and amps, rather than a guitar amp, also provided a much wider range of timbres...e.g. booming bass and strong upper harmonics.
(FWIW I was also influenced by Andy Gill and Keith Levine...but I also had a distain for standard lec-trick gee-tar practice after doing electronic music for a number of years first).
