I dont really play guitar but i do a bit of low budget recording latly.
Signal chain is usualy:
Jackson or Les paul (nice...) ->verious pedals -> Software amp emulation -> reamped into a fender reissue (not sure what model ? 50 Vat i think) or into a marshall valvestate>Sm57-> Motu stock preamp.
been thinking of geting some cheap ribbon mic ,Just saw an ad on Remix mag online about this new CAD fathead ribbon for around 150$new,
might grab one.
Anyhow, not really an alternative to a massive JMC or Recto rig but i get some useble guitar sounds
