Sometimes I stick the Line6 on the front-end of the iRig 2 to get more effects and/or save on processing for guitar/bass parts when I need a bigger sound or a lot of tracks to the point it's nearly tearing my phone apart. HOME RECORDING RIG - YOUTUBE/GARAGEBAND/LINUX My home rig is the most complex yet - it consists of 2 computers - a 2015 iMac running OSX Big Sur, and a 2014 Dell running Linux. The Linxu Rig uses REAPER for Music and OBS Studio for YouTube. The iMac uses OBS Studio for YT and GarageBand for music, as well as I use this setup for BandLab using the Mac Periodically. All effects and sound are handled by a Line6 HD500 which is controlled and programmed by the Macintosh. The USB Audio Interface is used on the Mac, and the Line-In is used in Linux. LIVE RIG Currently live I'm still using mostly the same setup I always have. A selection of usually 2 guitars per night is run through a SKB PS-45 pedalboard consisting of the following in this order-> Home Built Skull Fuzz->Home Built FazzFuzz->BOSS TU-2 tuner-> EHX Pitch Shifter-> Behringer PH-9 Phaser-> Digitech X-Series Flanger->EHX Small Clone 4600->BOSS DD-7 Digital Delay->Behringer Noise Gate->Amp. For the amplifier side, I'm using my old 2008 Bugera 333XL 1st run (non infineum) into a 1987 Peavey VTM 412M Cabinet loaded with 4x Celestion GK-85S Speakers. Typically when recording or playing live I mic up the lower or upper right hand speaker slightly off axis, preferrably with a Shure SM57 for that Eddie Van-Halen like EQ. For tubes I use Bugera EL34's and 12AX7's - "G" grade currently. |
