recording amp????

Yeah, herbies aint cheap! I suppose a "do it all" amp would be a mesa mark v but again, not cheap. My recommendation is get an Electro Harmonix 44 Magnum and use your ultra through the cab man. Or, y'know, buy a II ;)

Tbh, I've been experimenting with micing up a cab and using the amp sims on the Axe Fx II, just because I really love my cab and it sounds huge. Out of all the amps I've used on it my favourite is the Diezel Herbert so I'd recommend one of those! Be sure to post the results!

Bulb and Nolly goodness!

I didn't see that he'd started a thread on here until after I'd posted this. Apologies for reposting! Still doesn't make me look forward to this any less though, Nolly's bass tone alone will be fantastic to dissect!
