I'm looking for the best value to record a Vox AC15 to a computer. I've got a Toneport UX-1 which has a 1/4" guitar input and a XLR mic input but I don't have any mics. Up until now I've used my Blackstar HT-5's line out for recording but I want to use the AC15 now and I'm not sure the best...

Sorry, it might be too late for most people but if anyone is interested in a cheap little USB DAW controller, Musician's Friend has the Korg NanoKONTROL for $30 as the stupid deal of the day. Just thought I'd post it in case anyone was interested.

So, recently my AC15 has started to making some random crackling/popping sounds when its on, even with the volume all the way down and guitar disconnected. From looking around online a little bit it sounds like it might be a preamp tube that's no good...does that sound like the most likely...

So, this is coming a bit late as I got the pedal at Christmas time and the amp a couple of days ago but I figured now is as good a time as any. First up, the pedal is the TC Electronic Nova Drive pedal. For anyone who doesn't know, its a twin pedal with an overdrive side and a distortion side...

Saw this in an email I got from the Premier Guitar newsletter today...pretty interesting, especially when he's talking about the Marshall amps. Looks like he is getting a signature Marshall now. http://www.premierguitar.com/Video/20110107/1264/Rig_Rundown_Joe_Satriani.aspx

I'd like to get a pedal tuner and I'm leaning towards a strobe style tuner, or the Polytune. What do you guys recommend? I pretty much play mainly at home or in other inside and well-lit environments. The three I'm most interested in are: Turbo Tuner ST-200 Polytune Planet Waves Tru-Strobe...

There are a number of inexpensive MXR overdrives coming up for Black Friday it seems, like the ZW at SamAsh (mentioned in another thread) and the GuitarCenter Classic Distortion and Classic Overdrive...if you were to get one of these 3 which would you get?

From reading about the updates to the Hot Rod Deluxe I was thinking that it sounded like a pretty sweet amp, at least on paper. I played the previous version of the Hot Rod Deluxe for the first time about a month or so ago and was pretty impressed, and I was pretty excited about checking out...

I'm curious as to what you guys tend to prefer for getting your dirt tones...do you use a clean amp and pedals into the front of it, or do you get your dirt from your amp primarily and just use pedals for effects (if at all)? Or a mix? Personally, so far I've been getting all of my dirt from...

Currently I have a Blackstar HT-5 and I really enjoy the dirt tones I can get out of this amp. However, I have decided that I'm not a big fan of the cleans...I'd prefer something with a little more brightness/sparkle, and that got me thinking about what kind of amps have really good cleans...

In case anyone was interested, I noticed that the JSX Combo is the Musician's Friend "Stupid Deal of the Day" and is only $799. I'd love to get one but I don't have that kind of money to throw around right now. :( Hmmm, anyone feeling generous? ;)

Ok, I'm not sure if "clarity" is really the right word...maybe brightness...or a combination of the two. I have a Blackstar HT-5 which I love overall but I find the clean channel a little bit lifeless (I wish it had a presence control) and I've found that I can really brighten/clear it up with...

So, I was at my local GC for a little while this afternoon and sat down and noodled around on an AC15C1 for a while...never played any of the AC's before. I really liked it! It had a great clean sound, and the drive I got out of it was pretty sweet but I'm sure that it could go more...I didn't...

Anyone have suggestions on somewhere I could find some simple, free drum loops? I enjoy creating little chord sequences and such to "improvise" (I use that term pretty loosely) over but I'd love to find some drum loops to play with too. Thanks!

So, I recently received a gift certificate to Guitar Center and I'm looking to use it to get myself a new pedal...now the question is what pedal. :) Current setup: Guitar - Epi LP with P-Rails Amp - Blackstar HT-5 Current Pedals - Danelectro Chicken Salad (although currently in the middle of...
