Rickorder Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hi, I am new :-) I just spent 20 minutes typing up a thread and went to spellcheck and .... poooooooffff... Gone like the wind... :-0 O.K. where do I start... hmmm I'll go brief this time, in point detail. Have a room to record in (bedroom), needs to stay kind of as a bedroom , so now major upgrades for me. I record to PC via an ART Tube MP Studio Mic /Line Preamp. Have been using Amp Sim Software Plugins for guitars, but would like to try the real thing using an amp. I do have an Apex 460 Condenser Mic, and a Shure SM-57. Since I have neighbours, could you recommend a small (15-30 watt) amp for recording to disk ? And, if you'd be so kind, could you offer advice on how to get a decent crunch sound from it when I need it. (Using gain,Effect pedals) or whatever people do to get some good Rock Chunk... Thanks so much... Nice to be here.. If Life Is The Art of Creation , Then The Creation Of Art Lies Within Us.. Let Us Proceed ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elferoony Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 I know all the people here are going to say Fender Blues Jr, but I'll say it first. Also, the Epiphone Galaxie seems like a nice cheap version of a Fender Champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon_ Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hello: Here's a few options: 1.Marshall AVT 20 watts (Very Powerful for a little amp) -Emulated Line Out--Great for Recording. Also, try amp simulation software, such as Line 6. Cheers !! www.leonmaclellan.com www.guitar9.com/leonmaclellan.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickorder Posted December 31, 2003 Author Share Posted December 31, 2003 Thanks guys, Any good effect pedals you'd recommend ? Trying to come up with a decent Rock Sound "on a budget"... (for the time being) Leon... I Like your guitar playing.. Sounds like you could play for "Journey" . Cheers I'll do some digging around for info on those amps..
