I'm a 47-year-old musician who's been playing guitar and writing songs since I was 16.
I just got my first amplifier. Yes, I am a walking contradiction. But that doesn't diminish my OVERWHELMING excitement right now!
The backstory: I didn't actually start recording any of my songs until about 8 years ago, and my solution for that was simply to play through a DAW and use software effects.
@killyourfm yeah there's something really nice about just plugging in, flicking a switch, and playing instantly. And being able to turn actual knobs to control things. You can hook the Katana up to a PC though to get more effects and tweak them etc. Kinda the best of both worlds.
@JoeRess Another advantage that I just realized: Recording through amps + learning drums -- this dramatically reduces my reliance on macOS for recording.
(Logic Pro has been my drummer for years...)
I've always wanted to do my recording and mixing with Linux + open source. Two steps closer now.
@killyourfm I had one of the first Fender Mustang modeling amps and it was pretty sweet! I’ll haven’t tried the Boss Katana or the Line 6 Spider modeling amps, but I may be in the market for another bedroom amp soon so you’ll have to keep us posted on your experiences. Also, congrats!
