I'm using the Sennheisers 650. I have some fairly high end gear. I live in a condo so I don't enjoy excellent monitoring conditions so I'm looking for the next best thing...an as accurate as possible headphone amp killer headphone amp to at least match the quality of my phones for recording and playback.

I am thinkin of pickin up a set of NS10's.

I'd like commentary on an idea I've had to record a guitar amp with another guitar-tailored speaker (used as a microphone, a la Yamaha's SubKick), and particularly one of the same make, model, and size.

Specifically, it occurs to me that using a 12" Alnico Blue speaker right on top of my Voice AC 15 might be cool for the following reasons:

Hi,
Has anyone had the opportunity to test the VG99 against the Pod Xt Pro?

Certainly VG99 has much more editable parameter data, creation of models and so. But what about "tone" quality?

I am a guitarist with no recording experience. I have just bought a Tascam digital Portastudio (8 track) and I have started to experiement with my setup. I play a Cort Source (ES-335) with a Hughes & Kettner practice amp and I really like the sound.

I'm wondering if somebody can help me out.

This is my following scheme in order:

Ernie Ball Silouhette Guitar
BBE Green Screamer
Big Muff (Russian)
Boss OC2
Boss DD5
Boss Tuner
Roland JC120 Amp (CH2)

hi there! sorry this seems like such a silly question - i've been in a few recording studios and all of them seem to have been able to do what I can't, so I know i'm doing something very stupid here:

I have a couple of techie questions which I was hoping someone familiar with equipment would be able to answer. First of all, my set-up.

M-Audio Firewire Solo connected to Rolls Ha-43 Headphone amplifier, connected to a Tascam VL-X5 (monitor speakers).

Okay, here are the questions:

Specific problem

I am looking for a great guitar amp that I can keep in my studio for bands that arrive with cheap amps. I know that the answer to my question is probably "depends on what sound you are going for." So I should mention I would like to find a great guitar amp that is tube based and has a lot of flexibility. However, the majority of the bands that I record are basic rock bands.

Ok, so, I'm attempting to record some guitar tracks onto a Zoom H4 4 track recorder. The recorder has 2 mic inputs. I have 1, possibly 2 sm58s available to me, and I just took the capsule off the mic, and placed it on an angle facing the amp. The recorder also has 2 built in condenser mic's in an XY pattern, if that would be better.
