I have been tossing around the idea of getting a small amp for recording and/or practice. Looking for some ideas. Could be something off the shelf or something that could be relatively easily hot rodded. requirements:
less than $1200 (including modifications if needed)
tubes
lightweight
Must have a good rhythm sound

Hi, this may seem a little too general.. but I was just wondering which guitars are the most standard for different genres of music. So like:

Standard guitar type/brand for upbeat pop music? Standard amp?

Standard guitar type/brand for edgy pop music? Standard amp?

Standard guitar type/brand for pop ballad music? Standard amp?

Hi, was hoping someone could help me with my sound.

I am trying to record 2 guitars both with massive gain levels to achieve the sound we are after. (Basically its a groove-metal rock band with most bias being on metal).

I'm an old school guitarist of thirty some years used to an amp, a Morley volume/wah and a couple of pedals have done me fine.

A distributor friend of mine turned me onto this company today. After buzzing around the site, I'm impressed. Germany really has a lot of quality designers. Good on them!

Man, this looks pretty cool.

The GM10 guitar mic is a unique new addition to the sE range, designed to solve an age old problem in Micing acoustic guitars for studio recordings.

I have Ableton's Live version 5.2.2., and what I want is to record guitar straight in then change the sound to mimic different types of amps, both clean and distorted so I can take my pick. For awhile I was under the impression that I needed virtual instruments, but now I'm thinking that that's not the proper term for what I'm trying to describe, a little help here so I know how to search?

hey all!

I will be recording a classical guitar trio and I need your guys' input and help. I want this to sound great for them so i'm trying to do my research now. While i was studying recording i spent most time on recording popular music rather than classical, which is why i need help. I need help in choosing Mics and placement.

Well.. I've been putting off this hobby for a LONG time (couple of years), because I don't know what to get. So hopefully I can FINALLY get an answer and start pursuing a little of my dream of making music.

Hi guys, help me out here. I've been having trouble getting that Black Album, Nickelback, guitar sound that Randy Staub always uses in his mixes, you know, full but spacious guitars.

I have a very nice acoustic guitar track that I put down, but it has a small 1 or 2 second segment with some intermittent static (I think it came from the pickup jack).

I can easily re-record it, of course, but I'd really like to know how I can clean it up. What would be the technique for getting rid of static from a music track?

Thanks
