When you are using the Guitar Port, I assume you use the modeling software that came with it.
What amp models/sounds do you always seem to come back to when you have a session of fiddling with the different sounds?]]> From Here to There kent_eh https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/purchasing-first-amp-gear/#post-351452 https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/purchasing-first-amp-gear/#post-351272 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 16:41:15 +0000

Crate's site lets you select the amp and read about it, and also click on stores and choose "buy now" except you don't have to buy, just compare prices and locations, and especially more info about the amp. That 120 sure would be a killer!

I went back and forth over whether or not I should put this here or in the Beginners Q&A forum, but since its a purely "gear" related question and the questions there are mainly guitar related, I chose here. Apologies if I chose poorly.

I am looking for help in deciding what to get for an intro amp.

I own an electric guitar, an ESP LTD F400 (this isnt mine but this is what it is http://chat.xiermusic.com/images/esp_ltd_f-400fm.jpg) and I don't currently own an amp. When I got it about a year ago I bought Guitar Port so I could plug directly into my computer because I have been staying with my folks and there's just no room for an amp. Finally moving cross country to Iowa this summer so I have started attempting to research what "real" amp I'd like to get.

I thought looking at guitars was overwhelming. The amount of different combinations, "stacks", effects boards / pedals etc is mind blowing. I am literally clueless.

I'd like to get something that is decently versatile... something decent for garage play and some light traveling (maybe to a friends to play or something). I am interested, as you might've guessed from the guitar, in playing mainly heavier music but I do enjoy all kinds of guitar. I'd like to "walk out the door" as it were for under $500 if possible. Would like to avoid cheapo stuff just because i'd rather get something that will last.

Am open to any or all suggestions anybody might have, including other references... I dont mind reading.

Thanks for any help.]]> From Here to There Redbeard https://guitarnoise.forum/from-here-to-there/purchasing-first-amp-gear/#post-38888
