I'm looking for a little guidance on signal routing. I have a Mac Book Pro - M3 Pro Chip 64 Gigs of Ram, I have Amplitube 5 and I would like to use those cabinets and effects and send them through my 50 Watt Guitar Amp. My Amp (BlackStar) has effects send and return, and I plug my guitar into my Mac through a Focusrite 2i2 Gen4 (USB-C)

How can I get Amplitube out of my Amp?

Thank you for any guidance

You can use amp models and effects in AT5 and send them into the power amp of your Blackstar and out through the speaker. Trying to run guitar into Blackstar input, use its preamp, then put AT5 in the effects loop is...a fools errand at best? You will not want to use any of the cab modeling in AT5, though, if you are going back to your amp. Cab model into a cab is not a vibe.

You are likely to get some ground loop hum if you don't use some sort of cheap humbuster/isolator device. Run your guitar into the Scarlett and use AT5 as you would for direct sound out of studio monitors, but don't use a cab model. Take one of the monitor outputs from the Scarlett and plug it into the effects return. Start with the Scarlett's monitor volume on zero and slowly dial it up. I can't stress this first part of this last sentence enough.
