I have the following home studio package that is ideal for the guitarist:
* Excellent Boss BR-532 with USB SmartCard Reader
* 128MB SmartCard Media capable of holding 3 or 4 songs
* Ederol Studio reference monitors
* Alesis SR-16 Drum Machine
* Behringer MC100
Tube PreAmp
* Peavey Vocal Mic
With the COSM capabilities of the BR-532 which include very nice guitar patches, bass guitar simulator, vocal patches, real-time and post recording effects, drum machine/tick track and the Alesis drum machine, you definately will have everything needed to put together a very nice 24-bit recording. The Ederol Studio monitors as well are awesome for final stereo mixdowns.
You will literally be able to just plug in your guitar with a 1/4" cable and do everything from start to finish.
$300 + shipping in the Continental US or local pickup as well
