man, i had no idea about all this customization. !

so this could replace an amp? i already have a nice studio monitor setup, i can just run the guitar through this sw and out the monitors.

i'll take a closer look at this.

at this point, i think i would like the most simple set-up, i can get bogged down in the settings.

https://fuse.fender.com/ I dumped all the pedals since I got my first Mustang.

When I play gigs, they mike my amp..and the real bonus is it weighs about 20lbs. I am done with refrigerator amps.

Yes, I don't use an amp at all anymore. You will need a USB audio interface to put your guitar out into your computer though, so bare that in mind. Mine was about $150 and works great for my needs.

i appreciate the input!

:warning:warning:warning Never do this unless you have ultra super duper sound card! Latency can distort your senses and make you crappy musician! :warning:warning:warning

just bought my first electric guitar!


it's a fender pawn shop '72, a combination between a strat and a tele! guitar center did not have it in green and according to the guy that helped me, they could not order the surf green, so i bought it on ebay for a killer deal, should be here early next week! w000000000000t

thanks for the feedback, peeps, get it, feedback :1orglaugh

i wanted to come back with one so bad i almost bought the traditional sunburst but the green is so funky i decided to stick it out! :1orglaugh

Get a less paul and then you can do what ever you want to do, put in diff pickups etc... never go with a paul, either a Gibson or a epiphone :)

If you don't have one..I recommend the SNARK tuner. Cheap and they work great. The action of a guitar is always set up with the guitar being absolutely in tune.

Looks good :) Enjoy!

I too rarely use my amp, even though I have a very cool old Peavy tube amp. I use a Guitar Pod, which has tons of preset effects as well as you can create your own sounds using the many virtual stomp boxes that come with it.

http://line6.com/pod20/ is the Guitar Pod. I have an older model though.

http://lbbv.com/mymusic/mp3/index2.html is my little recording studio setup.

I have had my American Strat for about 20 years now but just recently bought a Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro and I love the sound of it. I bought it after watching numerous videos comparing the sound of the Epiphone to the Gibson and they sound almost identical. Paid $500 for the Epiphone compared to $5000 for the same Gibson.

Did you manage to run the pod on linux? Just curious.

Has a nice look to it, congrats :)

i don't understand what the pod is, can y'all help me out here? i played a few of the samples but wasn't sure what i was listening to.

Nice job on your recordings! :thumbsup
