Hi everyone!

My neighbors don't like me practicing in the afternoon / evening hours and a friend advised me to get a Line 6. The thing is, I'm an analogue purist and modelling technology seems wrong and fake to me. I don't need 50 best models of mediocre quality. If I'm to get a digital studio box, I want it to have less models but of better quality and be relatively durable. My friend uses L6 Studio POD GX but he told me to get UX1. I did some research on guitar forums and people say it's inferior to Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 or 2i2, quality-wise. I need it strictly for home recording for GMC purposes and I already have some stompboxes and a tube amp, if that matters.

Does anyone use either? Which one would you recommend to me? My GC will have UX1 by tomorrow but they won't mind me buying Scarlett instead.

Cheers,
Adam

PS. If a mxer console can be used this way, I'll take that but someone told me I need some DI box to make it work.

So I'll be getting my salary soon which means Scarlett. But my analogue spirit still doesn't like the idea. I did some research and many people say a good mic + console is just as good combo as DI box.

I did some more research and found that Shure SM57 is the most popular thing out there and a must-have for every studio. I feel like it's a better long-term investment. As for console, I thought about Behringer Xenyx 502 or something similar. Will this be enough to plug into a PC or will I need a DI box regardless?
I have the basic stompboxes and a set of 3-way speakers for the amp, so that would be a nice start.

If a mic and mixer is enough, I might get that over Scarlett. Then, some time later I'd build some 1x12 if I need it.

As for nighttime practice, I started using my amps' phones output, though I don't like it much. So if I time my recording session for the daytime, I'll be ok with neighbors.

What are your thoughts on this set?
