That reminds me, I should probably add that I am tech savvy, despite being nearly 47 I actually enjoy tinkering with the software.

OK, so I'm going to start playing again after more than a decade away, I am starting from scratch gear wise. I have no intention of gigging, just playing at home for my own amusement. I've currently been considering 3 options: 1 - Boss Katana running at 0.5W 2 - Spark or THR or similar 3 - Some kind of Amp Modeller / FX unit (Hotone, GE-250 HX Stomp etc) I'll probably be on headphones most of the time for noise reasons. In terms of what I want out of it is nice tones, with maybe the odd effect here and there, musically I'm a blues / rock and metal guy so I'd like it to cover those bases if possible. At the moment going and trying any of these is out of the question. What are peoples thoughts / pros / cons on any of these options please? Should I consider something else? TIA

Hello everybody (Hi Dr Nick), I've been inactive on here for a while (well over a decade), I even forgot I had an account, so created a new one without my preferred username, only to find my preferred username was in use by, erm me About 13 years ago(ish) I stopped playing guitar and moved over to bass as there was a need for one in a local group (I'm on Basschat too). 8 years ago my daughter was born so the live work stopped, and I pretty much stopped playing shortly thereafter. Fast forward and I now have the itch to play 6 strings again, I'm starting from scratch gear wise and haven't purchased anything yet, which is a nice place to be. One thing I will say - my word things have changed, especially on the effects and amps fronts - glorious!
