What does your home studio look like?

Thanks guys for having a look.  For me the sweetest part is that I can leave everything out and ready to go, whenever inspiration strikes.  I am playing my guitars a little more I find bescause I can just plug in and play, where before I have to set everything up all the time and then put it all away.  Also I can just close the door when the house is full of 7-8 year olds and get some guitar time to myself, sweet.

You are right about the posters.  The monitors are "Yorkville", Canadian company.  I just got them and man are they nice.  I was using a bookshelf stereo, but these suckers let me hear everything so much clearer, wonderful.  I am glad I got them.

Bluesberry - Happy Belated Canada Day!

Nice set-up. I wish I had a room to lock myself in.

2 Questions:

1. Is that a 5w Epiphone? If so, can you point me to a tune that you've done with it so I can have a listen?

2. Where's the Tubescreamer?
It ain't pretty being easy.

Thanks for the Canada Day greeting.  No Tubescreamer, true.  I have a Boss BD and a Boss FDR for my overdrive needs at the moment, plugged into my Fender Blues JR.  As for the Epi, yes it is the 5W Valve Jr.  I haven't recorded it yet but I am sure it would sound great.  I find it a bit muddy on its own (no EQ, just one volume knob on front) and I can't crank it loud enough to get any overdrive in my home, but I run my Pocket Pod in front of it and it is dynamite.  It is a great home use practice amp.  It would also be a real good recording amp, I just havent done it yet.

Nice special edition! Texas Red??? What speaker does that have?
And you just gotta love the creamy chicken heads!

Ive got a blonde, thats in my avatar...but I need to change my speaker.
Do you ever record your amps? Im still trying to work that out *shrug*

I cant wait till I move so I can arrange my own studio  ::)

Thanks for noticing Sprocket, yup the Texas Red special edition Blues Jr.  It has a Celestion Vintage 30.  I bought it when they came out (6 months ago ?), they had one in my local store (limited edition and all), and I just had to have it.  It will be a classic amp one day.  I havent played it all that much to tell the truth. It probably doesn't have 30 hours on it yet so it isn't even broke in.  In my new space I will be able to play it more.  It sounds great with my strat for sure.  I havent yet recorded my amps, I find it so easy to get great tones (with no noise) from the BR machines or Pocket Pod I havent yet tried to record them.

Same as most of you guys. A BR600, a couple guitars and a mic.

The Crate is from my "Hair Band" days  :D
Haven't tried to record anything with the amp mic'd up yet, the BR600 is just too easy to get a decent sound from.

It ain't pretty being easy.

That is a couple of beautiful guitars there Vanncad.  You make some great music with your simple set-up.

Thanks guys.

Don't let the guitars fool ya though. They are nice guitars but are a little more wallet-friendly then their American counterparts.

The Strat is a '68 re-issue Japanese Stratocaster
The LP is an Epiphone "Elite" (Japanese made), with Gibson pickups. It weighs a ton!

These Japanese guitars are a really excellent value and are really well made. I would recommend them to anyone.
