QUOTE (smrk @ Aug 1 2010, 07:50 AM)  Third and last, is there such a thing as a small amp that's of a higher quality than a bigger amp? I was thinking of picking up an amp for 300-400 that's small but relatively good sounding, getting a looping pedal and that jack thing and that should take me to around 600 budget wise. Sorry for rambling, cliffs: what should my gear priorities be if my goal is to improve my theory and become more well-rounded, with a budget of 400-800. It really depends on which style You play, but You can get a Fender Blues Deluxe, Peavey Classic 30, or a Blackheart for that money (used), and all of them sounds good imo. Pimp the rig with some distorsion device of Your taste and You're there! As recording device, the cheapest way to go would be a POD that also works as an audio-interface, or the one I use sometimes - Vox Tonelab ST, which sounds really great, but is a little bit more expensive. //Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

QUOTE (Marek Rojewski @ Aug 1 2010, 08:25 AM) If You're going to practice at home, maybe a looper isn't necessary? You could record some simple backing tracks with a Line 6 POD or Toneport, and play them via computer speakers. I think the POD and a DAW give you the most versatile solution if you don't want to spend thousands on a pro equipment, With software you can do wonders! -------------------- Visit my:

I agree, to practice at home a POD or any other recording interface will work great to create backings and play leads over them, as long as you have a computer there.
As for small amps that sound good, I have a Vox AC4 (head + 12'' cab) and love it. I use it with stomps but it takes a multieffect unit well too. -------------------- Guitars:

As everybody said, POD Studio GX or UX1 will do the job nicely for audio production.
Looping pedal is always welcome, and you will definitely find uses for it, but only if you play through amp often. If you transfer to software, it won't be that functional because you can do looping via PC. As far as the amp goes, I would recommend something with at least one 12" speaker, and maximum 3-4W all tube. There are some options, like Vox AC4TV head, or Blackstar HT5. Try them and see what you like. I like both of them, and in combination with a nice speaker they will sound good for home use. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

That little device will do both for you: Looper and Delay
 I consider buying this myself
