Calling All Guitar Players

I’ve been thinking awhile about this post. What are you guitar players using for recording in terms of instruments, amps, amp emulators, acoustic guitars and mics. I, for one, am never satisfied with my sound, though I’m not sure, at times, what I’m looking for!

Right now I have a Fender VG (Virtual Guitar). It has some nice features with drop, alternate tunings and faux (very faux) acoustics. My goto amp emulator is Nigel on my UAD-1 card. Have NI Guitar Rig Lite but don’t particularly like it. Was going to purchase the AXE-FX II but that $2500 price tag is very steep. I recently tried out the demo of Scuffham Amps S-Gear (PC only) and for $75 it’s very nice.

For acoustic I have a Martin D-18 and use various mics. Neuman U-89, AKG-414 or Shure SM7. I never get an acoustic sound I’m happy with so any tips there would be welcome.

For a mic-pre I have the Manley Labs Langevin or sometimes use the mic ins on my MOTU 828 MK3.

So, what are all you guitar players using for your recording setup?
