[grave steppe]

you mean audio interface for like an amp on the computer?

[keen quarry]

yes

[grave steppe]

i stand on the side of the amp cause im a boomer

[keen quarry]

ok

[grave steppe]

to me you cant beat the experience of the actual speaker

unless you have speaker columns to play back computer emulated amp on

[willow saddle]

If you are a beginner - definitely an interface

And you can install NAM

It’s free and has a lot of stuff

[quaint spire]

Both are good options

i got an amp, then an audio interface because i didn't want to spent dozens of money on effects yet. Got scarlett solo and are very satisfied for the price

[dawn coyote]

because of how just general the question is, ill say go interface

itll sound better pound for pound until u start getting higher up in the amp’s prices

[obsidian spire]

i've little experience with amps and no experience on interface but the way i see it, you have to ask yourself if you just wanna play or do you want to record, how you answer that should dictate whether you're getting an interface (to record) or an amp (to play)

[dawn coyote]

there's one thing with interfaces tho that just stomp most amps in comparative price ranges
