Hi folks,
Looking to purchase a device to use my guitar with, while in Texas for 3 months. I have a MacBook pro with GarageBand '11 (?).
Basically I want to use my setup as an amplifier while living in a hotel room. I was thinking this is a good opportunity to spring for an apogee, since I keep hearing how awesome they are. I also don't want to waste cash for a device I'll only use temporarily. I can alway use this device later to score when the time comes.
I do have a concern with GarageBand though. When using the mic input, the amp models sound HORRIBLE! (terrible amount of noise, and just bland tone - the built in mic sounds about the same, to give you a reference). Will the apogee remedy this? Will it make the amp models actually feasible to use?
Also, how do pedals sound when running into these things? Or are they meant strictly for pickup signals?
Thanks to anyone who can give me insight. Im done university in 2 months, then leave for Texas for the next 3 - my poor guitar will start fooling around with other players if I don't take it with me to fondle while im gone. Lol
