    Re: Desktop amps, anyone?

    Anyone have luck using an interface into GarageBand/other software with a small PA/monitor/any other sort of speaker? I just purchased a tiny 4.5 in. Galaxy micro powered PA to attempt this; right now my desk amp is GarageBand/earbuds.

      Latency can be an issue.

        I just scored a little Epi Studio Acoustic 15C at the flea-market. This was originally part of an acoustic "starter" pack, but the amp is sweet. 15-watts, with an 8" speaker and a dedicated XLR input channel. Silky sweet clean, and takes pedals well. And a not-too-bad built in chorus.

        The other cool thing about this is the cab is surprisingly sturdy. Kind of a faux tweed. If I ever get tired of the SS, I could always put a liitle Doug Hammond Firefly, or AX84 P1 project in here.

          I mic'd my MS-2 with a 57 and got a surprisingly good tone. I was HOPING for something trashy!
          My considerably larger Peavy Back Stage, however, is pants.
          the store I worked at had about 8 different models, I've done my time haha

            To me they're just supposed to be a practice amp for when you're away from home. And if that means you spend $50 on a little ****box amp to keep your fingers nimble, I'm kind of okay with them not sounding great as long as they allow me to hear what I'm playing a little better.
