So far I've been more satisfied with mic'ing my tube amps and personal pedal collection than any guitar plug in I've downloaded (only tried demos so far). I use a Peavey Classic 30 with hotter tubes and speaker, Peavey ValveKing, Vox AC15 and Fender Pro Junior III. Effects are usually OD, Distortion, Reverb, Delay and Wah. I sometimes throw in a noise gate as well.
Problem is I'm most creative at 6am and 11pm, and I don't want to disturb the household. I'd like to use my laptop/audio interface setup in the den with headphones to noodle, experiment and draft, and my studio setup for mic'ing live once I've figured out what I want to record.
Waves Audio products, at least the demo stuff, kept becoming unactivated and generating errors. Guitar Rig 5 and Amplitube are pretty good with a large selection, but a bit pricey (which I'll eat IF I have to). I just need a few good tube amps that can be pushed either with a lead channel or effects or both.
Thoughts? Sorry, I'm new to recording and a bit overwhelmed by everything. I just need to create short demos for use while building a band, and for sitting in with bands that need a temp guitarist.
Thanks.
John
