instead of the pignose, i could get this. it's relatively cheap - much cheaper than anything by any of the more well known brands.
this is actually behringer, though, which isn't an unknown manufacturer, by any means.
it's not that i'm changing my approach, here - i'm still going to record most of my parts direct. but, i need that bright tube sound, and i'm not convinced i'm going to get it...
hrmmn.
let's put these ideas aside, rather than buy it all right away. i've got two new micro amps already, and i need to finish the filing first, as well. let's see what the vox sounds like, first - and then let's see if i can get the sound i want from some combination of these items.
and, if i can't, i can take a look at some combination of these other choices.
