Line 6 is good for recording, definitely. I wouldn't recommend anything other than a good tube amp with pedals (if you need them) for live performance though - I've tried using my HD 500 through my amp and despite all the things i"ve done to try to get it to sound good (even through my tube amp), I haven't really found a sweet spot for my personal taste. But for DI recording, Line 6 is pretty awesome at simulating cabs ~ and you're not gonna find a good floor pedal for less than what you posted. Cosmin's recommendation is likely a winner too ~ as he says, it really depends on what you you're trying to do. I haven't found a silver bullet solution yet, but if someone finds one for less than 1K, lemme know

I personally agree, BUT for some players....a live digital rig will do just fine, and save $$/confusion for some.
But I'm certainly partial to the tube-tone, and individual botique pedals. Line 6 is good for recording, definitely.

Also, though GC and the big guys can be a great place to get ideas or some specific stuff.... I tend to encourage people to shop their local guitar shop. Usually, you'll get better service and personalized attention and suggestions. And it helps your local economy because the profits stay local too. Plus, it's fun to build that relationship with a local place as well! Even when I can save money online, I go to my fav shop in Portland because I love to help keep their doors open.
Hmm you got a good point there Cosmin I have to check what is most useful to me at this point...you all have great suggestions and advice so thank you guys now I got some more research to do and soon I will go to a music store probably Guitar Center or Sam Ash and find what's best for me at the moment. This is veeery helpful -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |

Hey Grace! Looking good! Have you tried it? I am not a fan of amps having effects and all that, so my opinion does not make a difference here

Don't give away my secrets!!! Don't let the music store guy pull high end guitar off the wall and put it through a Mesa Boogie on the clean channel to demo an fx pedal. You'll get home and it won't quite sound the same Todd I actually hear great things about this series. Again, I'm "with Cosmin", meaning that I personally play analog effect/tube amp. BUT, it took years to get to the point where I could hear/feel a difference, and it cost more $$ (usually) when compared to options like a Line 6. Does your amp come with/will you get the floorboard controller to control the onboard effects? You might want/need if you're playing out. ENJOY the new rig!! That Line 6 series is popular for a reason. Many tone/effects options, and good quality for a good price. And if you ever "outgrow" it, or want to do a different route for YOUR tone.... well, it's all part of the life long learning experience. Congrats on the new gear!! Hope you love it! So guys, I showed my dad the gear I was checking out and he found something that he wanted me to have which I will be getting this week!! I thought about it and this will definitely come in veeeery handy and is better than what I was checking out! So here it is Line 6 Spider IV 75 75W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp Can't wait to get it! If anyone has it feel free to comment And thank you all very much for the help!! -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |
