they sound like shit no matter what you play and are worthless

get a decent amp that has no effects and buy pedals later

>>61228314
pretty much this

>>61228276
it's bad for literally anything besides bludgeoning a small child to death but to be honest that's something that you shouldn't be doing and even if you were there are better tools to get that job done

>>61228276
If you want a modeling amp go with a peavey vypyr tbqh

i have one of these from like 10 years ago that i got when i was teenaged and retarded. don't be like me, get a normal-ass amp. it's bad for everything

>>61228491
i will second this. I have one and it is not good

>>61228465
this senpai

Don't know why everyone's crapping on it. I've got a Spider Jam because I don't gig, I just play for fun by myself. Makes it really simple to play with cool tones. A lot easier than tons of expensive pedals.

its hard to have fun when ur guitar sounds like shit unless u like that muddy sound

>>61228491
same

even software amp sims sounds better

Modelling amps are generally crap. You would have better results going with a software sim, since they actually use IRs that sound 90% similar to the real thing's cabinet.

Dude my guitar cost $180. I really don't care all that much about crystal quality when I've only been playing for a bit more than a year.

on the subject, can someone recommend me a decent tube amp in the $500-$800 range?

>>61230786
maybe they've improved in sound since but when I had one in like 2004 it sucked imo

>>61230786
my guitar cost 100, whats ur point? makes no sense to me to buy some pos when you could get something for a good price that sounds pleasant. if u like it thats cool tho

>>61228491
Can second. When I was young and impressionable someone at a guitar store sold this to me. It's really really bad and sounds like shit. Don't use it.

My ears can't tell the difference anyway. It's extremely useful for just playing. I plan on eventually upgrading my gear as I get more serious, but at the time for me it's pretty awesome.
>>61230717
Yeah check out Guitar Rig. I use it quite a bit when I just want to sit at my PC and mess around playing for a bit.

>>61230896
I had fun with it for sure I just don't think the tone selection on my model sounded unique form eachother

imo it was good for practicing and not expensive

I have one

sounds like shit

>>61231019
It helps to get me to play more. For pretty much any song I can get an alright tone that fits and try to play. And to just mess around its cool.

I recorded this when I started practicing scales and stuff like that. I love that I'm able record my stuff right on the amp, overdub, stuff like that. I know that people will say the quality is bad but I don't really care. I listen to old Floyd concert bootlegs all the time, I enjoy it even without the sonic clarity.

Guitar rig is shit. At least the free demo that I tried, it just sounded weak. IMO the only amp sims that got it right are Recabinet, Bias and S-Gear.
