Great for bass guitar too.Ĭountryman Type 85 DI - my direct box of choice for guitar and bass. It has AES in/Out, re-amping capability, great FX, FX loop possibilities. It also serves as an input device for my Line 6 300 Variax guitar, I don't use much but has some cool sounds in it like banjo.Įleven Rack - So under-rated, I've recorded whole records with it. It also has a digital SPDIF output and the amp modeling isn't too shabby. Pod HD500 Floor pedal - Honestly it has great EFX in it and fantastic program-ability as a midi floor controller. Pod XTLive Floor pedal - Haha I keep this on and plugged in my studio - why? Because it's a giant dongle for Podfarm software - totally want to get rid of it but since I could only get about $100 why bother, it still works as a midi floor controller, I doubt I'd use it for much else these days. Still, this amp sounds so good my next step is to mic it up and see what I can do with it. The floor control also sucks, only 4 store-able presets and if you wanted to use the expression pedal and a footswitch at the same time, you can't. Without a computer though you can't access the choices which sucks.

Versatile and light weight.īoss Katana 50 (v1) - Small, portable and so many FX and choices when using the software, sounds amazing for it's size and price. You can plug in any stereo source into the stereo FX loop and bypass the Mustang's Pre/Modeling effectively making it a portable stereo power amp. I should get a load box for it.įender Mustang IV - great 150 watt solid state modeling amp and the only stereo amp I've ever owned. I'd love to hear your thoughts/tricks/tips on any of the stuff below.įender Bassman 59 Reissue 4x10- great for stage, super loud for a 40 watt amp can produce squealing real-tube harmonics when turned way up and a great way to annoy the neighbors. Still, a good problem to have! Here's a list of some of them and some of my quick, anecdotal thoughts.
Funny, these days when I go into the studio I feel a bit overwhelmed with the myriad of choices I've accumulated over the years.
