Use the headphone jack on the front of the module for your recording 
feed, and send the outputs on the back to the amp, though sound 
quality might suffer.  Or split the outputs on the back of the DTX to 
the Korg and the amp. Or have the Korg send the drum input to the 
amp, as well as the mixer if possible.
