The company Recabinet (www.recabinet.com) has a fall sale until October 31 with 80% off at their software Recabinet (which is a cabinet/microphone simulator for computers, eg. You just line out Your amp to the DAW and then use this software instead of miking the speaker.....) I haven't tried it yet, but according to the manufactorer guitarists like Steve Stevens (Billy Idol, Michael Jackson), Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Mike Spreitzer (Devildriver), and Ahrue Luster (Ill Niño, Machine Head) uses it.... (a review is coming up) And its cheap, just 14.99$. Compared to what a good microphone costs so..... but as I said, haven't tested it yet. Btw. dont miss the sound samples....

what do you plug the line out of your amp into? BTW the software sounds awesome. You just plug it in the soundcard of the computer/DAW...... //Staffay That's pretty cool. I will speak more of it later but I have been using Recabinet Complete 2.0 for a while now and have been more than happy with the results. I recommend anyone reading this forum topic to jump on this opportunity to get it at a dirt cheap price. I wasn't aware that Vernon (maybe my all-time favourite guitarist) was using it ... that just sold me on it if I hadn't already been!!! Yeah, I think it works well, it is also used in the Studio Devil software, which I made a review for in the WIKI. There is a brief explanation about what technique they are using emulating in this kind of software. But as I said, this is definetely worth an own review! //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.

wont it blow up my sound card cause i have a 60 watt tube amp? You should use the LINE-OUT, not the speaker out. The line-out delivers a line-level signal that is perfectly suited for the soundcard. //Staffay But is that software really usefull when using a POD or another software like Guitar Rig ? There are cab settings in both of them already. Even though on the POD 2, there are probably not so many possibilities ? EDIT: BTW, when they give software at that price it's probably because the v3.0 is coming... About POD I really dont know... but I guess if its possible to turn off the speaker emulation in the POD and use this instead..... otherwise I cannot see any point in this. For guitar rig I think it's very useful, since the new version (GR4) imports impulses from the Recabinet, so does also Peavey Revalver and Studio Devil. But the best would be to use it with a real amp, I guess. //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.

Oh, my peavey 5150 combo doesnt have a a line out, you know of a way i can convert speaker output to line level? Then You must use a thing such as a hot-plate I think, but they are pretty expensive, since You are substituting the speaker load..... //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.

Then You must use a thing such as a hot-plate I think, but they are pretty expensive, since You are substituting the speaker load..... //Staffay Power attenuation and the possibility for a line out to boot produces its own share of pitfalls but this site gives some of the skinny on that. Not surprising since they just happen to make some damn fine competition for the Hot-Plate .... http://www.tedweber.com/atten.htm -------------------- My gear?

I just bought mine and am downloading it now. I liked what I read on their website and for the price it seemed like it was worth checking out. It says that it will improve your sound even if you are running it through an effects unit like a pod or like my GNX4. I also have a JDS Direct box that will give me a clean line out signal that I run into my Apogee Ensemble and then use effects in my DAW. So I figure I have several options to try it with. Should be interesting.

Where did You find it ??? By the way, Weber stuff is top-notch, Im planning to get some of their speakers for my Fender, they sound a lot more warm and cracks up nicer than the eminences..... //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.

I understand they even do a lot of their work by hand which tells me they really love what they do. Yeah, a lot of boutique-amp builders are buying stuff from them. I will go to Denmark on thursday and have a look at some amps built by a guy there.. (Tweed Deluxe Style ones... ) It 's really exciting!!! //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.

I heard it said that there are quite a few ex-Hot-Plate users who are now the proud owner of a Weber! I understand they even do a lot of their work by hand which tells me they really love what they do. Yeah. I wouldn't mind dabbling with some of those speakers myself one day ... Awesome! We have a new convert! Look forward to hearing of your experiences once you get some tweaking out of the way ... I will let you know how it works out. I have been getting pretty deep into the whole recording process and I am looking for more options do get a good guitar sound. I am on the weber site right now and I am probably going to order their Mini Mass today. I have been wanting to get an attenuator for my amp so I can really drive the tubes.... I was telling my friend the other day that I could have a pretty nice hot rod sitting out in the driveway for all the money I spend on this little hobby of mine Yeah, a lot of boutique-amp builders are buying stuff from them. I will go to Denmark on thursday and have a look at some amps built by a guy there.. (Tweed Deluxe Style ones... ) It 's really exciting!!! //Staffay I am jealous. I have been itching to buy the Haze15 that Marshall is making. It really sounds good on their website. The guy really puts it through its paces. But then again I am really wanting the new Mesa Boogie Mark V. That is in a whole different price range. But man it is an awesome amp! -------------------- My Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/FingerSpasm?feature=mhum

That sure sounds like fun. Right up my alley. I insist that you give us a field report on your return to fair Sweden! As you may have already sussed out by now, getting a great guitar sound on tape is one of the most notoriously hard things to achieve. Generally, the only real tried-and-true method was to crank the amp and mic it but that hasn't stopped anyone from trying an alternate path. Success has been varied and I guess the results are slowly accruing. I know exactly what you mean. I sometimes forget how much gear I have accumulated over the years. A lot is in storage but I have been making a concerted effort since joining up here to put the most essential items in some semblence of working order so that I can easily chop and change as the need or inspiration arises. The Weber is a great choice. I just "happened" to have that link at hand cause I have been toying with the idea of getting one myself one day so that I can do some cranking at home. Although, I am surprised I can get a half-decent sound even at low volume levels ... I have not done a test to see how it transfers in a recording but my guess is that it wouldn't. Yes getting that thick rich sound on tape is the main problem. My recent purchases in that quest have been the Apogee Ensemble and a JDI Direct box. I also purchase a Sennheiser 609 mic. I was just thinking of a new way to try and improve my sound. I was going to use my 609 mic in combination with a couple of overhead mic's and my Audio Technica 2050 mic that I use for vocals. I am going to try and place them at various points around the amp and give them all their own track in logic and record that way and then blend the signals and see what happens.... I can mute each track and try them in different combinations etc. Plus I can try the Recabinet also. I just remembered that this thread was originally about the Recabinet. I got off on a tangent talking about recording gear and amps.
