Recording Guitar part 2 - shall we try it?
OK,  
 
This is what I am thinking:  
 
Use the Marshall Speaker Simulator  
The signal path:  
 
Guitar -> Stompbox ->Simulator -> computer.  
Effects - slight reverb if anything.  
 
MP3 files, 96K or 128K - we can decide on this.  
 
Play a chord clean, then turn on effect.  
 
Play chords and single notes - "demonstrate" the effect with what you think is the best sound.  
 
Play with neck pickup then switch to bridge.  
 
Document the guitar - Strat type or Les Paul type, humbuckers or singles etc...  
 
How many people would be into trying this?

Aron, I think your setup here is fine.

I think no Reverb's better, but that's minor.  
 
Just have to get around to building the simulator.

Maybe just a little something about the volume of the recording. At what level should it be normalised to have a comfortable volume.

Record it at the loudest level you can without distorting the input. Then normalize the .wav or .aif file before turning into an MP3.

Aron,  
 
OK, I will participate in this standard. First I gotta build the simulator and figure out how to convert wav to mp3...what do you use to do that?

Re: MP3 Conversion
I use Sonic Foundry's "Acid", but I believe you can use Awave: http://www.fmjsoft.com/
