hi Hanspeter, I need new guitar equipment, i.e., an amp and speakers, possibly an effects pedal (if any).

Can you give me any recommendations or point me in the right direction? The market is so diverse that I've almost lost track.

I don't want the most expensive equipment, but I don't want anything cheap either; quality is important to me.

I have the instrument (Fender Strat).

Thanks and best,

Fredy

Hey Fredy, maybe to tell more about what type of music you want to play and if you are a technical guy who likes to play with effects or more a puristic guy : one guitar one sound.

Hey Hanspeter
I'm definitely on the harder rock side, but I don't disdain the Blues at all. And yes, I'm more of a technical guy, willing to try out different effects.

Hey Fredy,

then I recommend this here https://www.g66.eu/de/products/fractal-audio/fm3

together with 2 aktiv monitors for the stereo effekt. There you have top quality for a reasonable price. And by the way I use that one for all my life performances. It's really great and it covers all you will ever want to have in guitar sounds.

If you order there - tell Jaques some greetings.

Or then any type of 2 channel tube fused amplifier.

Just ordered the FM3 MK II Turbo and sent your greetings to Jaques.

I just received my FM3 Mark II Modeler, which is a very impressive device. However, after setting it up, I was somewhat disillusioned. The settings are so diverse that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Well, I hope I can figure it out, otherwise I will ask HP for a private lesson.

Very cool 😊

You can use the factory presets to start. The great thing with Fractal Audio is that in fact the factory presets already sound great and then you work it out step by step - it's a long journey but here you have all possibilites which are available.

Or you come over to the studio and we make a session - there I can give you some first really cool tips.

Here is a blog entry which might be in your interest :

Hi Hanspeter, I would like to book a private lesson. I have sent you an email using the contact form. Thank you and best regards, Fredy
