Hi
Sorry if this has been covered.
About to take delivery of my first Cutlass with the Silent Circuit/buffered output and just wanted to know if this alters the requirements for an optimal signal chain running into an audio interface?
I generally run into a Radial DI before the interface when recording bass and guitars to split the signal and take a dry direct signal from the guitar. Any reason the buffered output will cause any issues with this setup compared to a normal passive guitar?
Any experience/advice/recommendations appreciated.:)
 
Shouldn't make any difference. (You could also passively split the output if you wanted, since it's buffered and low impedance.)

I run guitars through a Radial DI to capture a DItrack for later re-amping, and the Cutlass doesn’t behave any differently from our other guitars. You might have to adjust the gain on the DI channel on your interface, but that’s all I’ve ever had to do.
