I will probably mostly record direct with my rockmaster preamp going into a behringer direct box with 4x12 simulation, and also with my PODxt that's on it's way. But I still want to be able to use my Gibson GA-5 5watt tube amp with MXR wylde overdrinve infront mic'd with a 57 (this amp is seriously loud for 5 watts and an 8" speaker). I also love the mic'd sound of my classic 50 on the clean channel when pushed almost to break up (gives me the warm and fuzzies).

Lining the whole room with soundproofing foam will be a little pricey. The room is a little bigger than I thought it was being 11' x 11' w/ 8' ceiling. I'll probably try out the carpet first. Then I'll move on to more drastic measures if that isn't enough.

I haven't had time to check out that site yet Doc, but I will soon. It will probably be the first of the year before I'm able to actually do anything with the room, since all my dads crap is still in there.

Thanks for everyone's help!
