    Amplitube Mesa/Boogie announced

    Ya, that Ola clip does sound good. I bought Amplitube Mesa/Boogie and it does sound incredibly "real". Only had one evening to play with the Mark IV and the Duel Rec a bit but they are really really good. One of the best software amp sims so far for me if not the best.

    Headphone - Akg K240 MKII or Shure SRH440

    +1 on all accounts, loved them for the comfort and they do sound very good but I, too, found that my mixes done (partially) on these didn't translate very well. That's much better now with my Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro. Yes, I'm aware they are much more expensive but still. Not saying the AKGs are...

    Diezel Herbert Clip

    For some reason I never liked playing the Herbert very much (my brother had one for a few years) but this here sounds absolutely awesome! It's without a boost, right?

    Looking for a great stereo widener plugin...

    For guitars, the bx shredspread is really amazing.

    MXR gt-od

    Based on this post I actually got one again, too. Sounds different from my TS808 and TS9 and I like it. I like em all, actually. The GT OD does indeed sound fatter and more transparent (less mid hump) but also grittier/dirtier (?) in a way. Hard to describe, but at the moment I prefer it on...

    Should I get an Apollo Twin to replace my Duet 2?

    Feeler Job Offer: Midi-fy Drum tracks (ca. 5-10 beats + 5-10 fills)

    Hey guys, I'm looking for someone (fiverr-style) to midify some drum tracks for me. These are professional recordings of my band's drummer for our new record (modern melodic hardcore-ish stuff) and I'd like to use some beats and fills as templates for writing new songs. OK so here's how I...

    Your best and worst gear purchases

    Best: Gibson Les Paul 57 Reissue (2011) - Got it used and picked this one out of 8 or 9 custom shop LPs. They were all good but there were surprisingly large differences between them in terms of feel and tone. This one sounded very open but still fat. Perfect. Jet City JCA50H - got this one...

    Should I get an Apollo Twin to replace my Duet 2?

    OK guys, I have an apogee Duet 2. It sounds perfect. I mostly use it for recording guitar straight into the Hi Z or with my Kemper (recording Kemper + dry Hi Z). Sometimes I record vocals with it. The thing basically does everything I NEED in a convenient package. However, even after updates...

    Electro Harmonix East River Drive - Anyone tried it?

    According to some threads on thegearpage, Analogmike (well-known modder) helped EHX design this thing to be identical to a TS808. So.... anyone tried it? How did you like it? Does it really sound the same? If yes, seems to be a great and cheap option for an boost. Might get one soon and looking...

    Electro Harmonix Soul Food

    Cool comparison, thanks! Just listening on iPhone earpods but I was shocked that the difference wasn't larger. I mean, yeah the Soul Food is definitely fatter than the OD808 and a bit different in the (high) mids but I didn't even think you could use it to boost an overdriven amp like we...
