[Solved] Hi-Z or regular when miking guitar amp?

Hi all,
I'm planning on recording electric guitars through amp with microphones. Should the microphones go into the Hi-Z input or regular input on my Focusrite Scarlett sound interface?
I'm guessing regular and not Hi-Z, but need to be sure!

    Hi Z is for direct input of the guitar into a preamp. Regular is for line level inputs. The mic should go into the mic preamp not the Hi Z input.
