These days, everything I do is home-recording straight into the  
computer.  I don't even have an amp of any kind, so it's all  
modellers for me.  While it would be fun to mess around with a big  
ol' tube amp and microphones, I don't think the neighbours (or  
spouse!) 

Hehe, we practice at the bass player's house and he's single,
so I can use a gig-worthy amp any time I want! But I still
don't want to render myself deaf, so I use a volume pedal
in the FX loop and it yields a result similar to an
attenuator.  Brings the crowd-slaying amp down to a 
usable level...



would appreciate it, and the modellers sound just fine for  
my purposes.  Actually, I've become kind of a fan of digital "re- 
amping", since I can apply all kinds of different amp simulation to  
the recorded dry signal after the fact.  I tend to just slap down a  
basic guitar sound when recording and then futz around with the amp  
modelling later, once I have a better idea of how the song is shaping  
up.

Sounds like a great system...
