Minature practice amp Ideas comon everyone

[HTH AMPS]

I messed with Amp Rig 4 a little bit and was very impressed - I think this is the absolute best way to go for home practice if you have a problem with being able to play out loud.

People are SO intolerant of guitar playing, but think nothing of cranking up their hi-fi with some modern R&B garbage blasting out.  I take no notice of my neighbours, never have for many years now.  I don't take the piss with volume and also don't play early in the morning or late at night.  Any time between 12pm (noon) and 8pm is fair game to my mind.  Tell them to f*uck off, then at least everyone knows where they stand. 

If you keep a drum looper running through your amp I have found - though my "research" in this is extremely limited - that people will think it is a stereo if they hear it from a different room. In fact the drums through walls should drown out the guitar. And yes, strangely people don't seem to complain about that.

if an amp (even if played at painfully low volume - and we all know that every amp sucks with master at 0.1) annoys the neighbourhood, why should you but a smaller amp? of course a marshall mode four and a microcube operate at very different sound levels, but in a flat a modeler (hardware or software) seems the only logical choice to me... a POD or similar should let you practice and have fun at any hour and your neighbors would never even know that you exist!
no amp sounds even decent through headphones... go digital for home practicing and you'll never regret.

I'd agree that modellers or headphone amps are sometimes essential - but I'd hate to learn guitar using one. Part of the skill of playing electric guitar is learning to control the equipment at high volume, you just can't learn that on headphones.

I'd move house. Problem solved.

you're right, but there are rehearsal rooms for that! :) just make sure to find a band that's not too sensitive to volume...

Thanks everyone I got myself a line 6 spider It did not cost me a cent. I went and traded a pedal Im not using anymore for it. BTW has everyone heard the news the Lovepedal provalve 2  is out. My neighbors can suck on that.
