OK folks, to throw a spanner into the works, I have tried a Roland 20XL practice amp in a local store. Lovely clean sound with plenty of effects in a compact case. Very impressed for not much more folding stuff than the Line 6. Any thoughts anyone?

Can anyone tell me is the Line 6 spider IV15 up to much for a practice/ jamming amp? Looking to get a slightly bigger amp with a few more effects and this seems well rated on the Dawsons web site.
Thanks for any advice

I saw them in Belfast back in 2004 i think it was and in fairness they were very good as a 5 piece, but Le Bon has always struggled a wee bit live!

Hey Guy's,
Have you all missed me? Doubt it default/wink  anyway. Have been busy with work, family stuff, the usual nothing serious but have hardly lifted my guitar for a while so time to get back to it. Hope everyone is well

Very sad to hear the terrible news about Gary Moore this evening. A great guitarist from my own home town.

RIP

use melodyne its a vst plug ( cubase 5 has this built in )...great for correcting pitching issues...
saves the chore of 'dropping in' to getperfect takes

ive spent countless hours with vocalists trying to get perfect takes ( pitching wise ) melodyne
is a godsend as is autotune..these devices save studios £1000's

and dont think pitching device should be used live tho ( unless for effect ) ..its just a studio thing

if you have a really awful voice but sing in tune ...melodyne/autotune wont make it any better
since you are already singing in tune..they dont improve the timbre of the voice

which poses the question ...what is an awful voice????is there such a thing
