Is there really a difference between MP-GT1 &amp; MP-VT1? I can probably get the MP-VT1 and plug a guitar in it and save some money... or am I missing something?

I'm wondering the same thing in regard to the "bass trainer", MP-BT1. I play guitar and bass and would like to get one that will sound good with both.

It has the same model number. I can only assume it's the same. The only difference is that one comes bundled with a couple of accessories. These accessories aren't the best quality, but it is a good starter kit. If you're going to end up getting your own accessories, then skip the bundle and just go with the standalone guitar.

Nope, other than this having a built in noise gate, the VT999 has a 3 band EQ, treble, mid, and bass, while the VT911 only has a tone knob, making this VT999 a more detailed option. . One thing tho is that the VT999 is nearly 1 and a half times bigger than the VT911, so it'll take up more space on a pedal board, in my opinion, it's worth it for a more detailed sound

Another variable I missed was the UL30vt-A1 vs X1. Is there any difference in the X1 vs A1 of the vt line?Thanks again.

So, there are conflicting answers here. Manufacturer says yes it is bass ready with no add-on required and a customer bought it and shows the $9.99 bass add-on screen shot. Which is correct here? Seems it should come ready for both being nearly 2 times the guitar only cost. Would like to buy this but another ten bucks is pushing it and being misled by the manufacturer is not good customer service. I understand that the game likely has the bass lines and other programming built into the songs unlike the guitar only game. So does this add-on cost more or not?

I'm a trombonist playing both classical and jazz music so I know exactly what you're keen to listening to. I've owned the M100 for sometime before returning it. I can safely say the M100 is much more geared towards DJ/Bass Head platforms. It's abysmal for Jazz and Classical listening. The bass is seriously distracting since it's more forward compared to the midranges, making midrange-centric music sound quite off. I would definitely recommend the ATHM50x over the V-Moda series in this regard.

I sold mine too as it hums like crazy. I bought the Zoom G1XN Guitar Multi Effects Pedal from Amazon instead. This one has so many good stuffs. I love to use it each time I play guitar in the church. It acts as a great preamp even with effect turned OFF.

I haven't played both guitars, therefore I cannot offer an educated / comparative reply. I purchased the LX1 for my 4 year old grandson because I'm hoping that he shows some interest in learning how to play as he get's a bit older. From experience, I know that trying to learn on a cheap, horrible sounding instrument isn't much fun. I've owned Martin guitars for decades and believe in their quality - but quite frankly, my reasoning behind this purchase was based mostly on personal preference. Taylor crafts beautiful, high quality instruments and I have no doubt that their Baby Taylor exemplifies this. I haven't played both guitars, therefore I cannot offer an educated / comparative reply.

The Cambridge is definitely a better preamp than the one in a standard receiver. Whether or not you can hear the difference will depend on how much better it is than the preamp in your Marantz. I would say that if your Marantz is near their top of the line quality, then you might not hear much improvement. If it is a budget quality model, you would probably notice an improvement. Obviously, your phono cartridge quality will make a world of difference also. Good luck!!! PS Be careful to order a preamp that plays the type of cartridge you have- moving coil or moving magnet. I bought the Cambridge that can play both, but some units don't.

I started with the Ditto but sent mine back right away. Too bare bones. Limited features. I wound up with the JamMan Solo XT which I like a lot for guitar practice, improvising, etc. Tons of memory on micro SD card, connects to computer for backing up loops or importing them into a DAW. I don't think the TC Ditto has connectivity with computers. i'd say go with the jam man if you can.

Yes! I've plugged my bass guitar and the VTH, was able to harmonize to the song, by simply following my bass line. I definitely think that it will also work with a keyboard, or anything else. Have fun exploring!

I've never used an amp like yours. I use tube gear. I got this preamp because the output of my MC cartridge is not very high, though they call it a high output MC. It did give me a more dynamic input to my tube preamp. I bought this unit because I've had satisfactory service from other Cambridge products and mainly because it will work with both MM and MC cartridges. I have another turntable with a regular output MC cartridge and may attach the Cambridge to it in the future.

This is the one recommended by Brian Sherrill, who runs Active Melody.com. Brian says he uses the Blues Driver (Tone50% & Gain40%) alone >90% of the time he plays blues. I bought one, run it thru my Fender amp and get a great blues sound reminiscent of the old 1960's tube type amps. I love it!

Hey Patrick. I have the THR5, which has the same sounds as the 10 but a few less features. I play a lot of classic rock and late 80's stuff too and I think the tones are great. I haven't tried the THR10x but from what I read it's geared more towards the metal crowd. For classic rock tones, I find the THR5's and 10's have more than enough gain. I was really impressed with how responsive it is to pinch harmonics and feedback. Get some really cool early ZZ Top and even GNR tones on it. The effects are awesome too. The tremelo and flange are pretty authentic. If you're not really bothered about saving patches or having an extra control for aux-in volume, you can save even more bucks and get the THR5. My ONLY complaint is with the whole range, and it's a very small complaint... the power switch is actually plastic. Mine's snapped off after I clipped it with my headstock. Still works though. Anyway, hope that helps. These things definitely make practice more convenient without sacrificing tone.

There are seperate models for keyboard and guitar. Be sure and order the correct one.

I'm deciding between the same thing, and I have chosen to plan on buying the VT25 over the GT25 because it has deeper blacks and apparently (I still need to ask around more about this) has true 24p Cinematic Playback, which is very important to me, I'm a cinema snob. The VT25 also has like one additional HDMI port or something, which really does not matter. The one thing I hear that the GT25 has over the VT25 is the ability to convert 2D to 3D (as best it can I guess). I really don't care about that, though. If it wasn't intended to be in 3D, then why would I want to do a cheap conversion on it? I suppose it could be cool, but I'm just not interested in that. I just want to see things in the best way they were intended to be seen. I am waiting for a price drop for the VT25, that's just way too expensive at the moment.

I have the Peavey Vypyr VIP and the Sanpera II footswitch. It has a great range of options, amp types, and voices. With the footswitch, you can control volume and it has a looper, which is really cool. With that said, it doesn't have a great deal of resources for how to use either of them. I have tried out the Mustang and it is incredible. Great instructions, easy to use software, and wow, the amps really sound as good as the amps it models. The "clean" is awesome. I cannot get a really good clean from the Peavey. Mustang wins for me, hands down! And you don't have to purchase the $200 footswitch to "unlock" it features.
