This thread started by the founder of thegearpage.net, has over 2400 posts. It is creating intense controversy at thegearpage.net between the boutique purists. The standard wisdom says that modelers aren't real. This one is pushing the limits on what is real in electric guitar authenticity.
This seems like a first to me. I've never seen a product use Wikipedia before for their documentation. There's some ground-breaking things going on here with this product.
This one is getting a lot of attention at thegearpage.net right now. It may be the holy grail of modelers. Some are saying that it transcends modeling. Time will tell.
Really clear transparent amps that break up well. I especially appreciated the clarity of tone and that the Blackjack 21 I played did not obscure the character of the players Strat I was using at the time.
This is a really fine editor with great command/macro support using the bash shell. Freeware! Other text editors include... Textmate($), BBedit($$$), Textwrangler(free), SubEthaEdit($), & Hyperedit($).
The first line editor written in the 60's is still avalable on the Mac OS X platform in a terminal shell (Unix bash). It's like learning an old Howling Wolf or Robert Johnson song. It's where we came from.
Designed by Bjorne Juhl and made by his child company in Finland. Very good sounding. I have the Little Green Wonder and the way the overdrive comes in is perfect and very touch sensitive.
This is where Steve Lindberg works. He had a large collection of vintage amps and boutique pedals. It could be worthwhile to take a lesson from him and determine your equipment needs while in the process.
This is a freeware recorder (see license) for non-profit use. It was recommended by SGNick on TGP. He knocks out demos with it and his Zoom H4. Quality appears average to good... hard to tell because recording is such an art. Worth consideration. Runs on Windows only.
This article has lots of downloadable samples as well as tables of recording time. This recorder is budget yet is packed with features and performance. Definitely great bang for the buck.
This one is the least expensive on the market but the low price doesn't mean it's cheap. It has remarkable sound for a budget field WAV/MP3 recorder. It's the one I want!
Used in the Zoom H2. This size gives lots of time even at high resolutions. There's another thing to consider with these cards--the transfer speed. Class[1,2,3] speeds are [2,4,6] Megabytes per second respectively. The higher rated cards might be worthwhile in anticipation of recorders and cameras that will need them in the future. The cost may be justified. It appears that Sandisk uses the numeric value after the Ultra tag to denote class but I'm not clear on this.
This is a great little mic for direct recording into a laptop or computer 3.5mm line in. It's an XY pattern and uses batteries (lasts 200 hours) and solves the preamp problem--you don't need one!
