When I record stuff at home with plugins and multi effects sure, I use reverb at the DAW, you can do sound design and make intricate recordings that way. But for live music that gets recorded in...

Use of amp reverb when recording?

I have the GCS-1, but not the ES version. It came with an .11 E string. I don't recall the rest. I felt that the action was too stiff for aging hands so I went lighter. 11 13 16 22 32 42...

Comins GCS-1 ES - string experiences and preference?
