ddk Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I have a Pod which I hate and wanted to buy a amp for recording only. I am looking for a guitar amp that can achieve a lot of different tones because I am a composer for TV so I have to cover a lot of styles. I am thinking of getting a separate head/cab so that I can keep the head in the control room for easy tweaks. Can you guys recommend some amps I should chec out that would not have huge gain and that records well! thanks for the help, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar Geezer Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 First of all...welcome to the board. as far as recording amps, the best place to start here is the Tube Amp Primer - posted FREE by our beloved moderator Myles Myles thread Probably more info than you ever want to know But his chapter on Amp Recommendation could be the Holy Grail of Guitar TOne. Good Luck with your hunt LynnG Lynn G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon_ Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Hello: There are a lot of great amps out there..Mesa Boogie is a great choice !! Dual Rectifier Head & your choice of 4X12 or 2X12, 1X12, cabinets...Put a Shure SM-57 Mic in front of this and you won't be disappointed !! The Fender Twin is another option...

strat0124 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Small tube amps rock, of course. But I made a double enclosure that works really well for smallish combo's. Basically two doghouses insulated with all the connections wired up. Heat buildup is an issue, but hasn't been a factor as I open them up between takes. Should be fun to transport that thing when I move. Down like a dollar comin up against a yen, doin pretty good for the shape I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njrocker Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 welcome, dude! ... not that im good enough for recording, but the tech21 trademark 10 sounds awesome and has an XLR direct out. i almost bought the bigger TM60, basically the same thing, but i got an awesome deal on a hot rod deluxe. Anyway it gets pretty close to a boogie and a fender and a marshall. blues juniors smoke too but they're probably not versitile enough for you. and oh yeah, who says you need an amp? BRMC goes into an FX pedal and then right into the board, their guitar tracks sounded pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
