Where are you located?

scenic latch
thick solstice
#

yamaha pacifica would be good

#

112V maybe

#

amps could be around 200 euro

#

how much can you stretch for an amp?

scenic latch
#

is that good?

#

and yeah, i need to be able to play through headphones

#

cuz im moving out of house to apps in few weeks

thick solstice
#

yeah it's pretty good, but it has no effects i'm pretty sure

thick solstice
scenic latch
thick solstice
#

do you plan on connecting it to your pc and recording

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

sometimes

#

like in vc

timid bison
scenic latch
#

i do

timid bison
#

Is it decent

#

The specs

scenic latch
#

yeah

thick solstice
#

you could get an audio interface

#

they're pretty damn portable

scenic latch
#

cuz

timid bison
#

How much is that orange 20

thick solstice
#

and you can record on your pc

scenic latch
#

i jsut want to play damn guitar

#

not learn another software

#

on top of guitar

scenic latch
thick solstice
#

or maybe a yamaha thr5, it works as both an amp and an audio interface

scenic latch
#

and also

#

i found some guitars i like

thick solstice
#

send

scenic latch
#

but theyre on facebook

#

i planned to buy new

#

but i rlly liked those 2

thick solstice
#

used is probably okay too

#

but i wouldn't go that route unless you can actually see the guitars for themselves

#

see their condition and stuff like that

scenic latch
#

Damn

#

one just got sold

timid bison
# scenic latch 169

Audio interface+ eris 3.5 reference monitor = 140 euro
You will not have hard time with it, just install the daw and the plugins you want, and you have infinite tones on your pc

thick solstice
scenic latch
thick solstice
#

but they did say they didn't want to deal with software

scenic latch
#

but if you`re saying audio is better

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

then ill buy it

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

maybe 400 for guitar

thick solstice
#

200 sounds good

scenic latch
#

im kinda new and i have hard time working hile studying

#

so i dont want to spend all my money

thick solstice
#

if you don't need anything too portable then fender mustang lt25 maybe?

thick solstice
#

there's a lot of options for 300$

timid bison
thick solstice
#

like a yamaha thr5

scenic latch
#

but why would anyone else buy amp

#

if soundcard is so much btter

#

you`re talking liek it got no cons

thick solstice
#

it does have cons

scenic latch
#

i rlly like the one you told tho

#

pacifika

timid bison
scenic latch
#

i think

thick solstice
#

yes, it's portable, it's versatile
but you have to plug it into your pc

thick solstice
thick solstice
#

but then it will be kinda slow

scenic latch
#

i dont plan on going out with it

thick solstice
#

because laptops have bad specs

scenic latch
#

i just need to be able to play all night

#

if im in mood

thick solstice
#

audio interface might be a better option in that case

scenic latch
#

1 sec

#

ill gogole the name

#

google

#

Focusrite Scarlett Solo

#

4th gen

thick solstice
#

it's a good audio interface

scenic latch
#

but then i saw orange 20 and i liked it right away idk why

#
timid bison
#

Yea it is good but mtrack duo is way more cheap and also has its driver

scenic latch
#

but its like 3 times cheaper

#

wouldnt quality be so much diff

thick solstice
#

honestly i don't know much about audio interface models

scenic latch
thick solstice
#

the guitars seem nice

scenic latch
#

the one thats still there is ibanez

#

i like it

thick solstice
#

the ibanez is pretty damn nice yeah

scenic latch
#

but im scared to buy used

timid bison
#

Rg350 is pretty good

thick solstice
timid bison
#

But i guess its a bit cheap for the guitar you will need someone who knows abt guitars

scenic latch
#

i dont have no one

#

so i guess its better

#

if i jsut buy new

#

if there was something that looked like it

#

i just really liek the desing

#

the colors and horns

#

and yeah i wanted to ask is there much more i need to buy? besides from amp and guitar

#

i already bought cable

thick solstice
#

but it's a bit expensive new

thick solstice
timid bison
scenic latch
#

just msth else

thick solstice
#

just amp, cable, guitar

thick solstice
#

but one thing

#

we are recommending guitars to you, but you have to get one that will inspire you to play

scenic latch
#

idk they all seem cool

thick solstice
#

buy the guitar that you want, not what we want you to buy

scenic latch
#

i just want the audio

#

ive never seen ugly guitar

#

i like em all

#

so the sound is more important to me

thick solstice
#

you wanted an amplifier, right?

scenic latch
#

yeah

thick solstice
#

more than you wanted an audio interface

timid bison
#

Will you move the guitar alot to play along with friends or just at home

scenic latch
#

just home

#

my friends are not really into music

#

i want to play for myself

timid bison
#

K buy the audio interface and dm me after, ill set it up on teamviewer or so

scenic latch
timid bison
#

I just dont want people to spend more money

thick solstice
#

if you really want an amplifier you can get a yamaha thr5

#

but it's a lot more expensive than an audio interface

#

double the price

scenic latch
#

https://www.thomann.de/be/orange_crush_20.htm i planned on buying this one

#

but i might get audio

#

interface

scenic latch
thick solstice
#

oh you can play that one with headphones too if you really want
pretty sure you can't connect it to pc though

scenic latch
thick solstice
#

if you unplug your headphones and play into the mic, yes

timid bison
scenic latch
#

sorry whats the differnce between proccesor and audio interface?

thick solstice
#

but audio interface would be a lot more convenient for you

#

take your time to think about it

#

don't rush to a decision

timid bison
#

Processor has its own pedals amps preamps in it and it has some more buttons and expression pedals, audio interface needs a pc that has the plugins(tones) you want

scenic latch
#

liek wouldnt it brake

#

in few months

timid bison
#

Why would it break

thick solstice
#

you don't have to buy such a cheap one if you don't feel like it will meet your standards

timid bison
#

Mtrack duo isnt cheap btw

scenic latch
#

i know price is not always quality

#

but you`re saying 150 and 50 are almost same

#

kinda hard to believe for my mind

thick solstice
#

it's not the same

timid bison
thick solstice
#

i'd say the scarlett is better

#

but it's up to you to decide which is better

scenic latch
#

and you said its same

#

as the one you reccomend

timid bison
#

Scarlett is better ofc but not a 70 $difference

thick solstice
#

if i had to choose between em i'd go focusrite

#

just my 2 cents

scenic latch
#

i kinda want to stick around with one amp/audio but change guitars sometimes

#

so i want at least decent

#

audio or amp

timid bison
#

If i pay 122€ to an audio interface i would rather get a processor instead

scenic latch
#

you`re talking abt this things?

timid bison
#

Nahh

scenic latch
#

sorry

#

im hearing abt it for the first time

timid bison
#

Np

scenic latch
scenic latch
timid bison
#

Also you can take a look at some reviews on mtrack duo, its all up on you but you will be paying 70$ difference for a thing you will not even hear

scenic latch
#

i talk alot cuz i like to read books and upload it

#

so if it would improve my mic

#

im ready to buy auido

#

rn

thick solstice
#

2i2 is pretty much all you need if you're going focusrite

timid bison
thick solstice
#

3rd gen or 4th gen, up to you

scenic latch
scenic latch
#

4i4 and 2i2

#

ik im stupid

thick solstice
timid bison
#

If you have the mic separately its possible to plug your mic in both the interfaces

thick solstice
#

there's a lot of focusrite models

scenic latch
thick solstice
#

some are cheaper, some are more expensive

timid bison
#

4i4 has 4 inputs

#

Which you will not need

scenic latch
#

tbh i just wanted to ask about guitar but know i have even more things to think abt

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

idk what to pick...

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

i just want something that would sound good and under 600 euros

#

and that i can play that at home every part of the day i want

#

without getting my ass whooped by neighbours

thick solstice
thick solstice
#

89 euro i think

scenic latch
#

119

#

its almost same

#

as 4th gen

#

like 10 or 20 euro differnce

thick solstice
#

80 euro difference

#

the 4th gen is 200 euro

scenic latch
#

it isnt?

#

sec

#

Its 200 if yo ubuy it with headphones

#

but alone its 139

thick solstice
#

oh what the hell it's cheaper there

#

nevermind uhh

#

that's the scarlett solo

scenic latch
#

yeah thats how it workds

scenic latch
thick solstice
#

not the 2i2

#

nah i'm just as stupid

scenic latch
#

jsut realised

#

is it very diff?

#

from 2i2

thick solstice
#

which 2i2

#

4th gen?

scenic latch
#

yeah

#

the on thats 200 euros

thick solstice
#

i'd say pretty similar

scenic latch
#

what would you say

thick solstice
#

it just has less inputs

scenic latch
#

i dont think its really useful

#

for me

#

like i would only connect it to pc

thick solstice
#

well if all you're doing is connecting to your pc and playing pretty casually, you can just get a solo

#

it's got all you need

#

hell, 3rd gen solo could be fine too

scenic latch
#

i mean is it only for begginers?

thick solstice
#

no that's not what i mean

#

i mean that it's not for like professional stuff lol

#

like you're not recording anything professionally, right?

#

just playing for fun and stuff

scenic latch
#

yeah just play for myself and maybe friends

thick solstice
#

it's all you need

#

scarlett solo, pick whichever gen you want

#

you'll be good

scenic latch
#

but would solo be better or 3rd gen

#

idm paying 20 more

thick solstice
#

2i2 has more features

scenic latch
#

kinda sad to thew orange out of basket

#

i thought id buy it

#

for few days

reef musk

There are some inaccurate things stated here, im going to try to be a bit more precise.
In terms of guitars the pacifica 112v is good.
Regarding digital vs analog there are some major differences.
If you have an amp, you plug your guitar in and are ready to play without the need for any other equipment.
If you want to play digitally, you need a pc, an interface and speakers. That being said you get the advantage of having more tonal possibilities.
If you go digitally, i wouldnt buy a focusrite. Up to the 3rd gen their headroom isnt great and theyre a bit overpriced because of their hype. Id suggest the umc202hd or umc204hd. What imo is often not talked enough about is the need for speakers/headphones. For headphones its not ideal to go under 100 bucks and for speakers more like 300. Thats a substantial cost not being talked about.
My advice would be to get a katana. Its a modeling amp, so has lots of tonal options and you can also use it as an interface to access the boss tone studio. Imo thats a better Allrounder and starter to see what you like @scenic latch

thick solstice
#

amplifiers are loud

thick solstice
#

i'll leave it up to you

#

i don't want to give them bad advice

scenic latch
#

i forgot to say

#

i dont ahve speakers

#

only headphones

#

that was the reason i wanted amp

#

so much

#

and not audio

thick solstice
#

headphones are just small speakers

scenic latch
#

yeah but its different

#

i planned on using them only when its late

thick solstice
#

a lot of amps you can't connect to your pc i'm p sure

scenic latch
#

100 more than orange

#

but ik its great i saw allot of reviews

thick solstice
#

@reef musk is an orange crush 20 able to connect to pc?

scenic latch
#

not pc

thick solstice
#

yea you can connect the orange crush to headphones

#

but you can't play for any discord friends sadly

scenic latch
#

oh tis no big deal i stil lcan show it off to irl friends

#

but cant i just place my mic near the amp?

thick solstice
#

yea you can

scenic latch
#

my mic is rlly good

#

so i think it would work fine

thick solstice
#

would work lol

reef musk
thick solstice
#

unless you want pedals

scenic latch
#

how is that related to mic

#

im sorry im bit stupid

thick solstice
reef musk
#

Its a super cheap amp with an 8“ speaker

thick solstice
#

no effects

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

so you would reccomnd spending a bit more for katana?

thick solstice
#

bedroom practice, the size of the amp doesn't matter much

reef musk
thick solstice
#

why not

reef musk
#

8“ speaker

thick solstice
#

it's literally bedroom practice

reef musk
#

And

scenic latch
#

guys chill

#

would katana 50 do?

#

i cant really go higher

reef musk
thick solstice
#

katana 50
very versatile
very good amp

scenic latch
#

my bad

#

i gues ill buy katana 50

#

and pacifika

#

112

reef musk
#

Great

thick solstice
#

have fun

reef musk
#

You might also look for both used and save some bucks

scenic latch
#

expirience

#

with it

#

lost 400$

thick solstice
#

try looking if thomann has some B-stock katana 50

#

you can return it and get a full refund if it's bad

scenic latch
reef musk
#

I mean with guitars its pretty much like this. You go to someone, play it and if you like it, you buy it

thick solstice
reef musk
#

Doesnt really matter

scenic latch
#

i couldnt tell

#

if its not good

#

and i got fcked up in thing i really do know well

#

more than guitars

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

so i dont trust myself anymore

reef musk
scenic latch
#

that it would be defective

reef musk
#

Defective=good

#

Thats two entirely different things

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

guys dont make me scared to buy even brand new

#

pls

thick solstice
#

nah don't worry yamaha has good qc

#

so you don't have to be worried

scenic latch
#

is there smth else like yamacha

thick solstice
#

i'd be more worried if it was something like harley benton

#

they're all over the place

scenic latch
#

and theyre 2 times cheaper

#

than the cheap ones

#

so idk what kind of quality they even got

thick solstice
#

well their bad qc applies to even their expensive models so

reef musk
#

Guitars are so simple in terms of electronics…there really isnt much to worry about. Especially because beginner gear usually isnt used for long. People either quit or upgrade

thick solstice
#

so don't get too worried

scenic latch
#

and then going higher

#

in terms of gear

#

its just that we get exams alot and i dont have time for part time

thick solstice
#

yea that makes sense

scenic latch
#

so when i would have money i want to upgrade guitar

#

but at the same time i want good amp now

#

so i wont change it later

thick solstice
#

the katana will last you a long time

#

you should be alright this way

scenic latch
#

also

#

do you think white guitar would be pain in ass

#

to look after?

#

and which one you got rn

thick solstice
#

i don't think it matters

thick solstice
#

black pacifica 112

scenic latch
#

oh rlly

#

and for how much time

#

are you suing it

thick solstice
#

honestly idk lol

reef musk
#

I also have a pac112v at home

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

maybe ill try to look for it at facebook

#

but itsd kinda unpopular here

#

havent seen any good stores

thick solstice
#

thomann should have them

#

are they out of stock?

scenic latch
#

awmn

#

damn*

#

7-9 weeks?

thick solstice
#

damn

reef musk
#

Might just be one color

scenic latch
#

yeah the white one

reef musk
#

…Or just buy used

scenic latch
#

is in 1 week

#

but i wanted this oe

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

idk how to

#

i mean on this site

thick solstice
#

reverb

#

used guitar website

#

you can also look on ebay

scenic latch
#

do they operate in belgium?

thick solstice
#

probably some people will list from belgium

#

it works like an ebay for guitar gear basically

scenic latch
#

most of them on verb

#

are more expensive

thick solstice
#

oh

scenic latch
thick solstice
#

b stock 120h

reef musk
#

Ebay and revery are international, i cant tell you about your local used websites

scenic latch
#

i think ill stick to buying everything on 1 site

#

my bank is pain in ass

thick solstice
#

they're p similar to a 112

scenic latch
#

but whats the differnce

#

they`re same price

thick solstice
#

it's a B-stock guitar that's why they're the same

#

usually a new 120 is a bit more than that

scenic latch
#
#

why are they

#

diff prices

#

colour?

thick solstice
#

112J uses different pick ups

#

112V uses alnico i'm p sure

#

112J has ceramic

scenic latch
#

that 50 euros diff would really do for me

reef musk
#

J and v are different models. Ceramic/alnice pickups and the v has a splittable bridge humbucker

#

J is still worth it tho

scenic latch
#

since i already spent 30 on cables

thick solstice
#

yea the J is still pretty damn worth it

#

does the J have the color you want?

scenic latch
#

ill buy white one

#

they got it

#

soon

scenic latch
#

but it doesnt make sense

#

j is cheaper

#

than v

thick solstice
#

ye

scenic latch
#

oh but it sounded like j is more expensive but worth it

#

my bad

thick solstice
#

no worries

#

the 112J has the color you want too btw

#

just different pickguard

scenic latch
#

sec ill chack the sounds

#

on both of them

thick solstice
#

sure

scenic latch
#

btw thanks

#

for helping me

#

for almost an hour now

thick solstice
#

i have nothing better to do anyways lol

scenic latch
#

i think i would get

#

the v one

#

sound is just so much better for me

thick solstice
#

yea ceramic is a bit harsher

scenic latch
#

which one yo ugot?

#

v right

thick solstice
#

actually i have the J since i prefer the harsher sound

reef musk
#

Eh i have to disagree

scenic latch
#

yeah?

reef musk
#

The differences are negligible

#

Also the thomann samples dont mean shit

thick solstice
#

i can hear the difference lol

scenic latch
#

on purpose

reef musk
thick solstice
#

yea

#

friend has the V

reef musk
thick solstice
#

ok

scenic latch
#

so do you reccomend j over v?

thick solstice
#

get whichever you'd like lol

scenic latch
#

i like v a bit more but if i go with j i would be able to atleat not starve

#

jk

reef musk
#

Dont focus on pickups

scenic latch
#

maybe ill guy some other things for guitar

reef musk
#

It doesnt matter

scenic latch
#

like capo

#

if i save 50

#

on j

thick solstice
thick solstice
scenic latch
#

i heard that you cant play

#

some songs

#

without it

#

but i think its bs

thick solstice
#

some songs actually do use capo
but there's probably a way to play that song without a capo too

scenic latch
#

btw

#

does cable go with guitar

#

or do i buy it myself

thick solstice
#

you buy it

reef musk
#

Depends pretty much on what youre playing. Fun fact, ive never really used a capo in my entire life

scenic latch
#

oh i almost forgot about picks

thick solstice
#

buy a bunch of picks, different thicknesses

#

see which is comfortable

scenic latch
#

do you think 10 euro ones would be good?

reef musk
scenic latch
#

k

#

this ones ya?

thick solstice
scenic latch
#

is this cable also good?

#

or is it to much

#

for begginer

#

its 30 euro

thick solstice
#

it probably doesn't matter

brazen dew
#

Whats a starcaster

thick solstice
#

i use the cheapest one on thomann

thick solstice
reef musk
#

No absolutely not

#

Its an entirely different shape

thick solstice
#

oh it is?

#

my bad

scenic latch
#

umm i kinda forgot

thick solstice
#

instrument cable

scenic latch
#

i think 3m

#

is enough?

#

i only want to play it at home

thick solstice
#

absolutely

reef musk
#

Do you intend to play while roaming your house?

thick solstice
#

3m is plenty

thick solstice
reef musk
#

I have absolutely no clue

scenic latch
#

or 20

#

so 3 is fine

reef musk
#

(Its was a Joke)

scenic latch
#

i know

#

but still

#

i saw a video abt it

#

so i thought maybe hes serious

thick solstice
#

just get a 3m cable

#

it's all you need

scenic latch
#

wait

#

why does one j cost 249

#

the onbe i sent

#

and others are 219

reef musk
#

Color

scenic latch
#

oh thats it?

brazen dew
#

Can someone help me

scenic latch
#

color makes 30 dollar diff interesting

scenic latch
thick solstice
scenic latch
#

look

thick solstice
#

they're the same price in my country

#

that's weird

scenic latch
reef musk
#

Thats pounds and euros

#

Different currencies 🤦‍♂️

scenic latch
#

damn im so blind

thick solstice
#

i didn't notice either honestly

scenic latch
#

i gues i clicked on someone else link

#

who use puonds

#

i think thats all

#

i thought it would be unedr 600 or sum

#

im glad it isnt

thick solstice
#

i'd say that's all yeah

timid bison
# reef musk There are some inaccurate things stated here, im going to try to be a bit more p...

I have stated that he could buy an eris 3.5 with the interface and also the overpriced tag of the focusrite, katana is going about twice as much of his budget, and in my opinion, buying a processor with a speaker would be a better option instead of spending yhat much of money on a katana. And if he really wants a headphone, as i didnt recommend one considering the fact that he was going to buy an amp, i can recommend behringer bh470, if you want an in ear one, can take a look at kz's products

scenic latch
#

@thick solstice@reef muskthx to you guys i can send feedback once i get it if you want

#

@timid bisonand thx to you too

scenic latch
#

sorry for pinging

thick solstice
#

no worries

scenic latch
#

im still waiting for my paycheck

#

its at 28

thick solstice
#

i'll be waiting for you then

scenic latch
#

yeah thx

thick solstice
#

till next time

scenic latch
#

idk what i`d be doing

#

without your help

#

cuz im stupid on my own

#

thx again

thick solstice
#

nah i was wrong a couple of times too

#

i think guegue knows better

scenic latch
#

yeah he sounds like he got expirience

#

but you still helped with guitar

#

he helped more with amp

#

but pacifika 112 was your idea

scenic latch
#

yo i also forgot @thick solstice

#

do i have to buy mini jack to jack adapter

#

if i want to use amp with headphones

thick solstice
#

i think so

#

wait no

#

you can just connect it

#

doesn't need an adapter i'm pretty sure

#

it's a 1/4" jack

#

so if your headphones don't fit you might need an adapter
