So for reasons of poor judgment and stubbornness I own five headphone modelling amps - Mustang Micro 1 and 2, ToneX Plug, Katana Go, and the Mighty Plug. The ToneX is best but it has some buzz/whine on higher gain that bothers me. I might be about to buy ANOTHER one, the Blackstar Beam Solo. Send help! However - this one now runs NAM A2 captures which is very cool. https://blackstaramps.com/beamsolo/ #guitar #GearSquad

Update: saw that it can record raw guitar signal over USB (it’s got four channels: stereo processes guitar audio, mic input, and raw guitar sound) which is something only the NUX can do and is genuinely useful to me. Amazon prime delivery expected today before 10pm. Give me strength… #guitar #GearSquad

@stevegrunwell@phpc.social so early impressions are the hardware doesn’t suck (no obvious clock noise issues, seems thoughtfully designed, not the prettiest). App is good. Better than most competitors. The built in modelled amps are decent but don’t make me go “wow”, which is basically true for all of these devices. Effects are good though I realise I’m a massive reverb snob and the plate and hall here are again decent without being lush. This matters because with NAM you need the reverb for headphone playing. The reason to get this I think is NAM. I’ve not done an A/B yet with same NAM profile playing on a computer. I want to do that soon, time permitting. But I also haven’t you found “the” NAM capture for me. So I’ve just ordered a reamp box to try to make my own… #rabbithole #GearSquad #guitar

G&L strikes again! I found this bargain gem on Reverb - the Ascari GT-90. It’s been described as the “Les Paul for players who prefer the Strat body shape”. Set neck, Gibson scale, Indonesian made. The quality rivals, and in some areas, betters my US made G&Ls. #gearsquad #guitar

Another guitar has flown the coop. My Seagull 12 string guitar and case, ended up getting a little bit more than I expected for it. I actually modified it quite extensively, reversing the fat & thin strings which is the way I prefer it. That meant replacing the bridge & nut with custom built ones. Sad to see it go, but hopefully it finds a nice new home. #GearSquad #Guitar #MusicProduction

My 20ish year old musician self continues to amaze me. Finished laying the bass track for Be My Girl today, but when I listen to it with the guitars & drums, the guitars are all rhythmically challenged. As in sound awful. I laid the original guitar tracks when I was 27 & they sync perfectly with the bass riff. *sigh* So I'll be redoing the guitar parts now. Our younger selves are much more in tune with everything musically than our older selves realize, I think. #MusicProduction #GearSquad

Here’s a screenshot of my new song ‘She’s An Island Girl’ in the Tracktion Waveform DAW. Seven tracks. Drums, rhythm guitar, solo keys, rhythm keys, bass, vocals and guitar solo. Yellow track is a blank song structure track to give me some reference building the song. Rhythm and solo guitar was Danelectro 59 through Strymon Iridium and Keeley compressor. Keys tracks were Dano through EHX B9 Organ Machine pedal and Keeley compressor. EHX B9 setting was classic rock with cranked modulation and percussive click. Vocal mic was Apex 550 FET condenser. #recording #guitar #songwriting #music #gearsquad
