Hi. I'm thinking of creating post-rock / ambient, and wonder what equipment to buy.
I have up to about $1200 to spend.
I have a Mexican Fender Telecaster with Tonerider hot classics pickups, a Novation Impulse
midi keyboard, a good orchestral strings sample library, a noisy solid state amp, two Gefell
UM70 mics, and a Steinberg UR22 audio interface.
I am thinking of three different approaches to get the guitar tones I am after:
1) Getting a decent amplifier + effect pedals (Empress Reverb & Strymon Timeline, and a fuzz)
The Empress Reverb pedal has a "ghost mode" that I quite like, which I am not sure
I can get from the below options.
2) Getting a decent amplifier + effect plugins (Valhalla Shimmer, Delay, Reverb) + fuzz pedal
3) Getting an amp modeler/effects unit like Axe FX2 or similar. I've listened to some demos
of Headrush, Helix LT, and Boss GT-1000 which didn't impress me too much. The Axe Fx2
sounded better to my ears.
Any ideas for what amp or amp modeler/effects unit that would suit my purpose?
Also general advice concerning this project would be nice.
Have a nice evening!
