[lug] Guitar to USB

[Davide Del Vento]

I don't understand how this could work.
Isn't the output of the guitar analog signal that needs to go into and A/D
converter and then into a D/D adapter converting from the raw output of the
A/D converter to the USB protocol?
Or does the cable include all of that, pretty much like the Focusrite
Scarlett and similar devices do?

Anyway, I had the Scarlett for a while and it worked in linux. By worked, I
mean the OS recognized it as a valid I/O system (i.e. mic/line in and
speaker/headphone out) and I could use it to record stuff e.g. with
https://www.audacityteam.org/

Assuming the cable includes the A/D etc as I wrote above, I think you can
expect to be able to record your guitar playing on the computer.
