Thanks for the information! For reference I will add in some information I got from Orange customer support in this thread, as reference for others who might look for the same info: "The valve is in the preamp section of the pedal and is not related to the output power. The output device is a...

Thanks so much for the info! :)

I'm looking for the cheapest and easiest way to record direct from Orange Micro Terror (from speaker output). Micro Terror Specifications: https://orangeamps.com/products/guitar-amp-heads/tiny-terror-series/micro-terror/ Is it possible to simply use Behringer Ultra-DI Di100? Specs...

East West was using Kontakt in the beginning, but then about 5-10 years ago, they stopped using Kontakt and instead started shipping their libraries with their own software, which is called Play, and their libraries don't support Kontakt any more. Good luck!

I have Symphonic Orchestra Gold Plus, Symphonic Choirs, Stormdrum 2 and Monsters of Rock or whatever it is called. Great sounds, but the Play software demands way more of my computer resources than Kontakt libraries. I don't know if that is because the East West libraries are just so huge, or...

I find it a bit hard to compare the VIP package to the normal one. How many amps are expected to be done over the two years, and is there or will there be a list of amps that are to be done?

It depends on price. One monolithic product is easier to deal with, but I would probably end up using just 2-3 of the amps anyway. I would rather pay a lower price for a few essential high gain amps than have to shell out more for a bunch of stuff I'll never use. So either sell the whole package...

Looking to see if I can get a Schecter Loomis 7 string at a good price.

Thanks a lot for everyone´s input! The conclusion seems to be that a DI Box won´t make much of a difference if your Audio Interface has good enough specs. Also there appears to be no contender to EMU 0404USB in the same price class. So I´ve decided to keep my interface and get a Radial...

Thanks for the input! My choice stands between: -TC Desktop Konnect -Steinberg UR22 + Radial J48 -stick to E-MU0404USB and live with the drivers -E-MU0404USB + Radial J48

deLuther: Yes, my pickups are EMG Active 81tw/89R @ 9V So you´re saying I can´t improve the input signal by buying a new audio interface in the same price class or a nice DI Box like Radial J48, and the only thing I can do to improve my guitar sound is work on my mixing skils? I like the idea...

DI: https://www.box.com/s/ovmgronxc3c5d8pu9uh6 Just a short test of bridge and neck pickup on Schecter Hellraiser C1 going direct into E-MU0404USB Thanks for all input! Really appreciate it!

Thanks for further comments. I will record some DIs later today. I´m probably replacing the EMU0404USB, as there are only Beta drivers for Win 7 64-bit. I might not get Steinberg UR-22 since the drivers might not be great. Looking into Roland UA-55 or possibly Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Does...

Thanks so much for all comments so far! That's really helpful! DI: https://www.box.com/s/qzbh5i1h9fyeo9eukatx (3mb wav file, mono) Interface: I was actually planning to upgrade my interface to the new Steinberg UR22 (because of dodgy drivers for my current interface). The Steinberg UR22...

Looking into getting a Radial J48. Just wondering if it will make a significant difference to my guitar sound, or if it is all down to mixing skills? Below is one of my recent mixes. Would the guitar sound improve much going into a Radial J48 instead of direct into my audio interface (E-mu...
