Home Recording Equipment Options

[Adam]

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.

I use Yamaha THR10 for practicing and I love it. It is also an audio interface so you might want to check it out. Its a bit more expensive than Scarlett 2i2 but very handy.

If you are a big fan of tube amps I would advise you to stay away from the older line6 products.

Good point!! The THR10 is not only a great little practice amp, it's also a full audio interface. So you can use it by itself, or you can use it to connect your guitar to your computer and use plugins. You can do either. Also, the THR10 comes with software that lets you create your own presets for the amp. It connects to your computer via usb. You can find them used on ebay and get a good deal.
