Any suggestions on a decent guitar amp that is going to be used to record others. By the way, what is the function of a headphone amp???
Thanks

Boy, guitar amps are a bundle. You need to research that one because there are so MANY good products out there.
A headphone amp is a junction box that allows you to add several more can plugs. This way, your vocalist can listen and sing while you monitor and record or play. There are many can amps out there but don't get fooled by cosmetic appearance or let a big price fake you out. I have an old Peavy 4 plug can amp and it works fine.
Kind of look around and research before you buy one. Try one if you can.

For recording eh? Try this guitar amp, and this Headphone Amp.
The Headphone amp allows you to monitor while you record, and this particular one allows you to connect up to 12 pairs of headphones (AKA "cans")at once. The HA4600 is probably THE most ingenious bang for the buck item out there on the market for home recordists. It allows stereo operation, mono, R only, L only, you can connect aux outs to each of its 4 channels for even more flexibility, you can bypass everything and go direct in with a 1/4" stereo source, it has balanced ins and outs, bass and treble controls, meters, knobs, cool lights.
No I don't work for Behringer I just like this product. So far it's the only Behringer I own.
If you're not a guitar player yourself then you may want to do your own poll or hang in the Guitar Bass forum for a while, tastes vary so much, and so much has to do with the style of music that you don't want to waste your money on something for a tiny niche.
For recording, many would reccomend the Line6 POD, Digitech Genetex, and others, zillions of good sounds, but I've never used one.

I can't say much about the DeVille but I've got an old Fender Princeton chorus that is my favorite, it's small but packs a punch.

I would concur that Fender makes a pretty sweet sounding amp. Just don't anything with speaker(s) smaller than 10". The smaller speakers just can't quite get the warmth and punch that you'll want in your recordings.

Yeah jmpro, a friend of mine uses a Fender Frontman with a 6 in. speaker, it screams but it's too "tinny" sounding to siut me. Of course I guess a lot depends on the type of sound a person wants to get, I like a fuller "wet" sound myself.

I nice Fender amp is the red knob Twin. I've heard some of them had electronic troubles but the one I have just keeps on kickin butt. The hardest part gettin one is finding one because they are pretty rare. I got one about 4 years ago and been lookin for another ever since so if anyone knows where you can get one let me know!

Try to find a used Mesa/Boogie MKIII or MKIV head. Get a couple of cabs (open and sealed) and you should be able to cover 90% of the tones you need.

Musicman, for years, Vox and Fender has been the standard for clean sound in the studio, and Marshall has been the standard for distorted sound. That has changed a little in recent years, particularly due to offerings by Mesa and Line6. Amplifier modeling technology has advanced from the point where everybody knew it sucked, to where there's actually a legitimate debate, and most people will agree that amp modeling can be OK for some things some of the time. However, most big old studios will pull out big old amps. Fender, Vox, and Marshall. Amps are personal things, like guitars, and there's no magic amp that will make everyone happy. At least most studio work is done with relatively small amps, as they go. Whatever it is, that silver bullet amp is *not* a Crate.-Richie
