Paul, Be aware that the emotions are running high here at the looper's delight list. If you're stepping into territory that has little or no looping content, be sure to put OT or something in the header. The non-guitar loopers are camped just over the hill and they will attack if provoked...no need to aggravate them! I'll jump in here and suggest that you look into Line6's POD or Flextone amps, the Johnson J-station, or Tech21 preamps or amps. These units can provide you with a very 'BIG' sound, direct to the board. If you don't have the money or desire to get into classic, modded, or boutique amplifiers, and if you don't feel like blowing out your neighbors, or if you don't want to build a great sounding room and refinance your house for microphones, these can be great tools. I have heard a bit on both sides of the fence, from people that swear by amp modeling to 'purists' who wouldn't touch em. For me, the Line6 POD has been an invaluable resource to track guitars in my studio and get a pretty damn good sound, with no pissed off wife, no mics, and very little hassles. Plus, how cool is it to switch from a lazy Fender Twin twang to a barking Vox AC30 to a Soldano meltdown with the flick of a switch! (insert your best Ingwie air guitar here). There is a tube preamp setting which might work good with your nylon string. off topically, rich ps. one good thing, if you actually like the sound of the POD, is that you can access and trade 'amp' patches via a number of websites. There are tons of patches out there. >Hello: > >A friend of mine and I are looking for a nice guitar processor that >doesn't >sound so "electronicy".
