![]() ![]() ![]() This means that you'll want headphones with a 1/4" TRS connector (or a 1/8" TRS connector with an adapter to 1/4"). You want to plug both your guitar AND your headphones into the same audio interface to ensure the lowest latency. If you do not use a low-latency ASIO driver on a Windows PC, the lag between playing something on the guitar and hearing the result will be more than noticeable, it'll be unusable.Ä«uying different headphones won't inherently fix that, it's a matter of what you plug those headphones into. You need a dedicated audio interface with its own ASIO driver to have low enough latency on a Windows PC to be able to play through the software in effectively real time. Latency isn't really something that the headphones themselves have or do not have, latency is a result of audio drivers and configuration. ![]() Not the biggest hassle in the world, really. Otherwise, you'll just have to ride the input volume control on your interface when you switch guitars. Ideally, you want to manage the actual interface input volume on the device itself through software (per above), if you can, rather than make up for the lower volume after the interface within your DAW or software modeler, because just boosting a low input volume in the software might increase noise. If your audio interface includes any software mixer (don't think it has that on the Mac side, but I haven't checked), you may be able to set up two presets for the interface mixer, one with a boost on the input volume for your lower output pickups and another without the level boost for the high output pickups. If you do, then just plug your lower output pickup guitar/s into the EQ pedal, keep it flat on the EQ bands themselves and then nudge up the output volume fader on the EQ pedal to give yourself a clean boost until you can use the same audio interface input level for both guitars. Simplest solution: do you have a simple EQ pedal like a Boss GE-7 or MXR 10-band? It just helps to have the basics down first. That does eventually, get to be a lot of fun, though. I think you also have the right mentality in not wanting to get caught up in fiddling with knobs. I think amp simulators are great for people just starting out because you'll get a good idea on what various amp brands sound like before having to sink in a lot of money. I mention it so that if you try one, and they don't sound as good as you'd hope, it's important to understand that it's alright to mess with them a bit, even if all you're doing is turning up/down the volume and/or gain. Which doesn't mean that you shouldn't use them! On the contrary, they can let you see how other people set up their amp simulator & effects. their guitar's pickups will have a different set of frequencies & different output level, their audio interface might be different with a higher/lower amount of gain (volume), their speakers will be different, and the room they came up with it in with have different acoustics). One thing to keep in mind about user presets is that, no matter how good they are, the person who created them have a different signal path than you will (I.E. ![]()
