Are these 2 ok or would there be a better bang for buck? Id rather stay below 500$ tbh, so a cheaper guitar would be preferable.
I have a scarlet solo in case that makes a difference and i can just skip the amp alltogether and grab a more expensive guitar

Do you have a PC capable of doing amp sims without latency or artifacts?
atomic fox
So something at most 350€ would be preferable if i go just guitar
warped pine
I think that's a great combination you have there
Do you have anything already? Or is this your first guitar and amp
atomic fox
i had a harley benton previously but i dont have it currently so I am trying to buy a new one
I liked using the scarlet solo I am just guessing its not as good as the amp thats why i put the amp there
@warped pine
warped pine
Okay, so you've had an amp before too? And you prefer using the Scarlet Solo?
atomic fox
I havent had an amp, but now that i think about it the scarlet solo would be better as I am living in a dorm
warped pine
Ah I see.
atomic fox
theres also this option for the guitar i guess
warped pine
A lot of people love the software amps, but personally I think it's a whole lot to learn and fuss with audio drivers, latency, amp sims, impulse responses, etc, that you could spend actually playing the instrument.
The big benefit of a dedicated amp for a beginner is its simply. Just plug in and go. Also you have the possibility to play with/for others without having to get them over to your computer
I had one of these years ago, and it was nice for the price. Just takes a battery and a headphone jack. There are even cheaper ones on Amazon, but this is the one I used personally
atomic fox
Whats the point of that one? Isnt it the same as the audio interface?
warped pine
No, the interface plugs into your computer, your computer does the processing, then you can record or listen on headphones
This is a thumb-sized thing that only plugs into your guitar and your headphones, and does all the processing inside. Much simpler single-use device
warped pine
"processing" = "make your guitar sound like its going through an amp"
They're made for quiet practice on the go, and that's all they do

Up to you between the two Ibanez guitars. Main difference is the neck pickup. Neck humbucker might be better for metal if that's your thing.
Really I think the white one is prettier, and the black might collect fingerprints lol
warped pine
Ohms
I don't know much about high end headphones. I thought it sounded okay though cheapo earbuds and cheapo computer speakers
Headphone amps don't do beautiful, studio-quality tone. It's just a cheap, simple thing to let you practice quietly
You could use your Scarlett Solo and a computer to do the same thing, maybe better, but it's more complicated to set up and learning guitar is complex enough IMO
Or the Katana 50 has a headphone jack in it, if you want the option to play loud also
warped pine
I don't think you could really go wrong with any of these options. All preference 🙂

honestly i prefer the PG spark to the katana
soooo many tones
and 40 watt
it can also act as an amp head for cabs
you just need power

Honestly i would buy a sound card and a reference headset. Easier on the ears of others and better sound.
