I don't have a picture, but I just got the StealthPedal by IK Multimedia. It rules-got a copy of AmpliTube Metal, and it works with my expression pedal so I have full control over all the pedals and effects. Only $200 to.

Hey Doug,
Ya I agree, this stuff has gotten better and better very quickly! Guess computers have improved just as quickly and can provide the juice need to model the amps. All the better for us I say!
Waiting to check this new plug out, their website claimed it would be released this month..
Will try it out and let yall know my thoughts.. for what their worth..

Has anyone heard about the new Amplitube Fender by IK Multimedia? They posted audio clips online and I was intrigued by what I heard. I love the Amplitube 2 software, this sounds a step above that even! Anyone else seen this?

Hi All,
Just have a look on You Tube at Jake Shimabukuro playing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" to see a master at work, fantastic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9mEKMz2Pvo)
I have seen this vid before, simply amazing! Learning to play Imagine and its quite inspiring to hear it played in such a different way. I love my uke!
Have you ever checked out IZ, short for Israel Kamakawiwoʻole (RIP!) ? Great player w amazing voice from Hawaii. Check it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL-uL2M3xvM

Walk my apologies,when you first posted this in the recording forum I visited the link page and was under the impression Amplitube was an effects unit for guitar so I moved it out of the recording section into this forum, after reading the additional posts I realized my mistake and I will request help in moving it back to where you first posted it as I am unable to shift topics in other forums but my own. again sorry for the mistake.Russell

Plugins like Amplitube give just about anyone the chance to make some solid recordings at home, with minimal cost.

Is it safe to assume, your a bass player... fatstrings??

Hi Russ! No worries, been out of town and have not been back to visit in awhile. Guess it is old news now anyways...
- fatstrings.. u actually hear crickets where you live?! Man, you must not live in the city, I do, and I have not heard that sound forever! lol ..But ya, thats the whole reason I use AmpliTube, no outside interference in the mics and my neighbors dont come knocking at 2am either! What is the ARC software all about? I have seen it mentioned but not really sure..

Re: Uku question (4 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Hi southpaw!
Unfortunately not, I have only had the pleasure of visiting the islands. That said tho, plans are being made already to go back!! I loved it there..
I had the intention of finding a Uke when I made my visit and found one for like $35-40 I think in a gift shop. Sounds great tho!
Working on some tunes with it now. Have you done any recording of a Uke? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Re: lefthanded people with right handed guitars. (22 replies, posted in Electric)
Sorry to hear that kath628, bummer! ^^
I can tell you that playing lefty sucks, only cause no stores carry a nice variety of leftys! You can usually find 1 or 2 leftys, the basic models, that sound like poo. I am actually right handed but I play left handed. Reason being is that I broke my left arm in an ATV accident years ago and the arm just cannot twist all the way to manhandle a fretboard. When buying my gtr for the first time, the salesman reallllly pushed the righty to me, but it just did not feel right to play, so I went with my lefthander.
For beginners, use what feels good to you. In my case, it was my left hand and i think its pretty cool. So there! Plus my mom is a lefty and she likes that i play lefty.
Back on topic.. I have tried flipping guitars upside down for lefty use but to me, the knobs and such get in the way. Also, doing pinky volume swells is tough!!!
My 2 pennies worth..

Re: Easy songs to play on electric guitar (9 replies, posted in Electric)
What style do you want to play?? Some nice acoustic folk songs are easy and have open chords and slow strumming. Good place to start? If your a rocker, power chord away baby! Like the above poster said ^^ anything by the Ramones or Social D would be a good start.
There are lots of great tab sites around, PM me for a cpl.
Later!

Re: Uku question (4 replies, posted in Other string instruments)
Hi there, great web link! Thanks!
I am new to this forum and one of my new interests is a popular one here, the Uke! Just picked up my first Uke in Maui a few months ago and I love it. I have been a guitar player for several years, so the transition was smooth and its just so much fun to play. I love being able to carry it around and just jam anywhere..
Just wanted to say thanks for that link, been looking for some type of chord book!
Mahalo.
