BTW, complete non-sequitur: What are DBing guitarists using for home recording?
Hi Carl, I almost bought that marshall studio 15 second hand, but unfortunately I was too late. I understand you're an loyal user of the Studio 15 (nice website, Carl, and some nice sound clips) As for the amp, I've got a Fender Princeton (12W) with the same 6V6 tubes (350 $, 2nd hand); Fender Twin (400 $, 2nd hand) Guitars : 'a few' . For ex. fender tele '52 reissue (1.075 Euro, new); Japanese Strat (650 €, new); an old hagström Futurama III (for free) and a 'brandnew' second hand LP standard (1300 €), Accoustic: Seagull (360 €, new) Bass: a very old (mid 60's) Framus Star Bass (10 €, plays & sounds great though, used it on 'settle down'); Fender Precision (250 €, 2nd hand) A few of stompboxes... Microphones : a few, but the AKG 424 B-ULS stands out ( +/- 900 €, new) Recording Hardware : Powerbook G4; Motu 828mkII(1.090 €); TC electronics Triple C (300 € I think, New) Software : Doggiebox (huh!) & AudioDesk (came with the Motu 828mkII) I do the mixing through my normal stereo,but I have to admid I bought a very nice pair of speakers from a friend(Audio Exklusiv, Suisse): the difference with my old speakers (JVC) is amazing! But I guess real studio speakers are still the best. So for now I do a mix on my stereospeakers, then through the radio in the kitchen and through 2 different headphones. And of course : the final testdrive on my car's stereo. Mathieu www.thirdson.tk Begin forwarded message:

I'm using a whole bunch of different things but, to answer the question from a guitar amp point of view, I'd wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking to check out a Tech 21 Trademark 10. It's what I used to do the little ditty on the Doggiebox website that became one of the "demo songs". The TM 10 has SansAmp direct box technology built in, it's all analog, no computer chips inside (no tubes either).
It's affordable. They're usually available on ebay for less than 200 bucks. I got mine in mint condition for 180 (ebay). In addition to that, I will always keep my Marshall Studio 15 alive and kickin' so that I can mic it when I want that really authentic, woody, open, guitar sound. This amp can do a better clean than a Fender, while still retaining the Plexi era, rippin' Marshall sound that has become a classic. This is a 15 watt single channel tube amp with a 12" Celestion.
Oh, and I have a Fender Blues Jr. as well. I don't record with it much though.
