ive definitely been trying amps, some I've liked, some not. I'm just here to ask why people are recommending I get tubes when I just wanna practice.

yeah those tube snobs got to me haha. But I am also curious as to how much worth tubes really have. I would feel fine with a SS 100 watt amp that has a sweet clean tone, good enough distortion, and will let use an effects pedal such as the boss gt-6/8 to the fullest. Reliability would be a huge...

well I'm not 100% interested in buying a tube amp in the first place and I'd rather have any type of amp that is around 300-500 bucks, and sounds good to me when I can just use it for practice and small jams/gigs. But I keep hearing people say "get tubes get tubes!!" so I'm questing why. I can...

what do you think of Solid State vs. Tube when it comes to just using amps for practice and small jams? You see I set my 15 watt practice amp to 1 because above that is too loud for my house and I live with my parents in an apartment complex, so I wanna be respectful by not blasting my amp.

yes I'm serious, I'm a beginner when it comes to guitar parts/amps, etc.

I want to ask you guys what the pros and cons of playing through a tube amp are. Do tubes work well with stomps, effect pedals, etc? Can tubes sound good at low volumes (I'm talking volumes at 1 or below). What is the cheapest priced, yet most efficient tube amp on the market?

I'm still wondering what sound differences there. Can you guys be more specific?

I always hear people saying analog stuff is better, but I don't understand why. What about distortion on amps vs. analog stomps?

So what is your take on analog effects vs. digital effects. Stomps vs. pedalboards? What are the noticeable sound differences and sound qualities from let's say, boss stomp pedals, compared to the boss gt-6. Or digitech's stomps vs. digitech gnx4...etc.

well I'd like speculation if that's possible, I'd like some ideas...

I am...right here too I'm reading some books right now but I need more info so I've come to you guys to find more sources or advice if possible.

I was wondering if you guys know how electric guitars have influenced all kinds of music ranging from the blues, jazz, rock, metal to pop, r&b, hiphop/rap, techno/trance/electronica, country, etc. ? Also I was wondering if you guys have any websites that explain some of this influence and the...

I have pro tools free and it's version 5.01, so the new amplitube demo will not work with it. I remember there was an older demo of amplitube that did work and I'm wondering if anybody has it or knows where I can download it. Thanks

I dont have a strat, I have an ibanez 6 string electric with double humbuck pickups and a fender frontman amp. Also I record with my monitor on, and I've noticed that my monitor brings noise, but it's hard recording w/o monitor on lol, I guess I could hit the record button, turn off monitor...

I'm using cool edit pro 2 to record. How do I use that noise reduction plugin? -I have tried finding a spot in my room but my room is too compact and my guitar cable is cheap. (It's like one of those 1/4" radioshack plugs). I need a new shielded plug too, because my current plug has one of its...

What are some methods of reducing amp noise while recording my guitar. - I get this buzzing noise whenever I record my guitar, for example check out my recording here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/chewysbandmusic.htm It's an eminem guitar remix I made, but after the clean part listen...

Is there a good compressor, eq, delay, reverb plugin for any computer programs that record guitar? if so, what is/are it called and how does it work?

- I can kinda play chords, but I always mess up on switching from one chord to another, for example: Pennywise - Alien; they have fast chord transition, and I always mess up and sometimes the strings sound different and fuzz, or don't even play at all, maybe I'll hear a harmonic, lol.

Thanks for the useful tips, I need to take that advice into good hands. -How can I work on hitting a chord clearly, usually I can't even switch from one chord to another, without messing up.

I have no idea how to practice effectively! -Usually I play my guitar a few times a week, not once a day because sometimes I get lazy and forget and a lot of times I'm just too busy. --Anyways when I play guitar I start off playing some thrash metal stuff like Metallica and such and then maybe...
