Want to make guitar cab impulses

Im trying to make some guitar cab impulses but I'm not sure what feeds the cabinet. I know you have to send a sine wave sweep to the cab then mic it, but do you send straight from the interface to the cab or from the interface to a guitar head? Wouldn't the amp's settings screw up the sine wave?

I'vd done several, And this is how you should do them :

Recording Chain:

DAW Track: Sinewave file generated by voxengo's devonvolver
- Interface's output --> HEAD's FX RETURN (It goes straight to the power amp. bypassing the preamp)
THen you got the head hooked up to the cabinet, then a microphone, preamp into your soundcard again.

IMPORTANT: Most tube amps has -20dbv level input. so you must send the signal pretty low, or you're gonna blow it up

Its pretty easy
