Hey Kenny. I've had the same problem most of my life. However, my sister and I inherited a duplex a while back and are sharing it since we're both unmarried right now and have no kids at home. There's enough space out back where I can do it, so I think I'm going to throw up a big garden shed and soundproof it to use for a music room. I'd like to get one of those that looks like a barn but smaller. They're large enough to rehearse a small band in. I've been in very poor health the past decade, but I just had a partial gastrectomy day before yesterday that I hope will fix all my problems. (Actually they took around 3/4 of my stomach. I feel real good already though.) I still have an old 30-watt Laney VC30 for gigging that I haven't turned on in a long time, and I have a little Fender Super Champ XD for practice and recording. I also still have my old V-amp2, but it doesn't sound great on my Tele. Well, you may remember that I was never much of an electric guitar player. I'm 90% acoustic fingerpicker, but I'd still like to play in a band again someday just for kicks.
 
Kind regards!
Bill

Weird, I was sure I commented on this but now I see it's not here (for one reason or another). Good schtuff Kenny.

I think you posted this upstairs had a listen then still as good the second time around.

Hi Wookiee ,
 
Yes this clip was posted in Craig's thread upstairs.
I figured I may as well post it here on the songs forum since I had already committed to having the clip on my SoundCloud ..
 
WOW you gave my clip 2 listens thank you 2 X

Hi Bill, 
 
Yes, I've seen them sheds .  I have certainly allowed myself to day dream about having one of them if I can ever get out of living in an apt complex ...
It sounds as if you may have a pretty good living situation w your sister if you guys have the space to place one of those on your property and keep it secure ....
 
I wish you the very best of luck with your heath challenges . I will say a prayer for your successful speedy recovery .
The very fact that you are still using music , Film and your guitar playing as a creative outlet speaks volumes about the true nature of your Spirit

Hi Ed ,
 
Your not crazy or imagining things like posts you have thought you have posted that have suddenly disappeared   ...
Oh wait I take that back you are a little crazy around the edges in a good way 
 
Yes, you did leave a comment over at my other CA-X Amp Sims thread ....The Slow Blues one ...
 
Thank you very much for leaving one here also I appreciate it .
 
all the best,
 
Kenny

I can easily imagine Neil Young voice over it. Cool riffs too. I was also really blown by CA-X clean presets too. 

I was messing around with my old Vamp last night and found that boosting the mids on my mixer at 500K helped tremendously. A lot of the sounds I previously thought were unusable sound very good now and the ones that were already good sound a whole lot better. I think my prayers have been answered. I may never mic an amp again. I don't know why the heck I never thought to try that before. The EQ on the Vamp itself is worthless. Most hardware amp sims I've tried over the years were lacking in bottom end. If you have one, try this. It might work for you too.

Either way Thank you

Hi Bill ,
 
I'm glad you are getting satisfactory use out of amp sim hardware that you had cast aside temporarily ...
 
My Motto ,  " You always have to show & tell the amp sim who the Real Boss is "  right James ?
 
all the best,
 
Kenny
 

Show them who's boss? Tis true apparently. I've got no business playing electric guitar anyway. My fat old man pickle fingers are best suited to nylon strings, and that's usually where I put them. And it does wonders for neighbor relations!

Hi Bill ,
 
You sound good ...keep playing what ever guitar you feel like playing .
The neighbors where I live now have no idea that I am a musician  ..
I like it better that way

Finally, I got to listen to this Kenny and yeah, a totally rocking demo.......would really like to see you take this further.
This made me want to check out those CA-X amp sims.
