Yeah I figured the JCM would probably be the best way to go. I was just wondering if there were some comparable new amps out there, partially for price, but also because of the potential unknown factor in buying older, used amps. Thanks for the advice.

Any recommendations for a 50-100 Watt single channel tube amp, with a sound similar to a Marshall JCM800?

Any thoughts on these? Is there a large volume/performance/tone difference between the 100 and 200 watt versions?

From looking around the board it seems there's a lot of suggestions for bass amp mics, but almost everyone agrees that going direct through a quality DI is a good idea, either by itself or blended in with the cab sound. Some have suggested that a good mic for a bass amp is one that would work...

Hi Steve, I'm sure you will get a wide variety of responses that will point you in the right direction. From reading the board it seems like there are certain Studio Projects (B1, B3, C1) and MXLs (603, V67, V69) that would definitely be worth checking out in your price range. If you haven't...

GHS - DYL, Great if you like a wound third.

Strryder makes a great point which is probably the reason a lot of people go with Digi. I was recently making that decision and ended up going with a Firepod b/c I got a great deal on Ebay, and I have friend who has the 002. But my end decision was actually going to be to go with the Motu, it...

Does anyone know of any of these offhand. I've only heard of the Apogee Trak 2, anything out there more affordable than $3000? Thanks.

The first one definitely sounds cleaner, the second sounds a bit muffled. If you're going to be adding any effects to it I would use the first one. The second one works if that's the sound you're going for, but if you're looking to add to it I think the first track will give you more room to...

From Sweetwater: "Makeup Gain Makeup gain is really nothing more than a gain stage in a device where you can amplify the level. What makes it makeup gain is the context, as it is usually employed in devices where some other process occurs that reduces the level. The most obvious and common...

TV, From what I understand, yes you can plug the pres directly into the Firepod through the line ins. Inputs 1 and 2 are described as mic and instrument, 3-8 as mic or line level. I'm not sure how many simultaneous inputs you need (my friend has a protools system for our bands, I'm looking...

Any reactions to this mic, how does it compare to a MXL 990, or Studio Projects C1? Thanks.

Not sure if I'm thinking about this correctly, any input appreciated on these questions. Would the motu 828 mkII handle this situation better b/c of the routing software it comes with? 1. I have a 2 channel compressor, it is my understanding that through the software I can route any recorded...

thanks, that's what I thought, kinda limits the usefulness a bit...

I saw this unit on Musicians Friend. Anyone have any experience with it or with the control surface version? Also, I've never used any recording interface of this style. How would I use a compressor as an outboard effect either in post-production or for some type of stereo mastering (as far as...
