No it doesn't. The 12AX7 isn't a power tube.
Well, maybe not, but this amp has one on the power section, if you don't believe me, just go to the page of VOX and read the overview about the VOX VT Series.
The VOX Valvetronix has de 12AX7 on the poweramp section, and well, maybe is not a true valve amp, but it's definitly better than some other "hibryd" amps like peavey VYPYR, or a Marshall Valvestate...
The Vox VT has some nice clean and distor tones, I have the VT100 and I can say that is a very good amp, not as good as a Mesa Boogie or a Bogner, but is good for sure, and it's very responsive to the guitar that you use with it...
And about the guitar, I suggest some fender stratos, I think Fender has one of the better tones for Jazz.

http://www.dimarzio.com/site/#/pickups/Honestly, an acoustic guitar with a pickup is just an electric guitar. It sounds acoustic, but it truely does not sounds the same as a Condenser Mic place above the sound hole. I've never tried stereo micing but I have a few shotgun mics and from what I've done just using one, it has potential.
Yeah I think the same, but I think is just way to record without lot's of problems. Of course the Electroacoustic guitars are more used for a live situation, but well, it was just my opinion and solution.

Check them out =D
Sorry about the double post, but I forget to say that the EZ drummer works very well on FL9, so, the Superior Drummer would work as well. About if it works on reason, I don't use reason but I think it will.

I'm totally aware of pop back then.
Mmm... maybe this advice isn't helpful at all, but you can use iTunes Radio, it has a secuence to each genre, one for pop, i think is the best way to get in that genre, and you don't have to download songs and get your hard disk full of them.

Basically my devices for the guitar are, well, an electric guitar and an amplifier, i think i need something else for a good recording... ideas, suggestions, are welcomed.
Thanks.
As I said, try with a Line 6 POD or an VOX Tonelab, they are pretty decent at amp simulation and guitar recording, personally I recommend you the VOX Tonelab ST, it has a vacuum tube on it, so, the sound of that device is very warm and more realistic.
The POD is good, but if you want one, I recommend you the 2.0 ver, coz is analog yet, the POD XT or X3 are digital... and it sound digital, at least to me.
About the noise, you can use a noise reductor or a noise gate to cut that unwanted noises, but it cut a lot of dynamics if you abuse of it, you have to set it well.
The quality of your guitar is very important too, the noises that it produces depend a lot of the quality of the electronic parts, if you want a very clear and punchin sound, you need a decent guitar too.
What guitar do you have?
Hey how are you doin'?, I'm very new on... newgrounds LOL, and well, here's some of my music, hope you like it.

You mean, an acoustic guitar? or an electric guitar?
An acoustic guitar, well, you have to be in a place without noises, some like an studio enviroment, a good micro of high sensibilty and low noise, dunno much about it, a good suggestion could be... buy a good electroacoustic guitar, then you don't have to care about noises anymore, or buy a pickup for your acoustic guitar, you can see some of that pickups on this site.
http://www.dimarzio.com/site/#/pickups/
In the Acoustic link.
If is an electric guitar, for fast recording without problems, not the best way to get good sound and tone, but is pretty decent, you can use a Line 6 POD, that is an amplifier modeler that you can connect via USB and use with some recording software, or a VOX Tonelab that is the same thing as the POD.
Hope this help
Here's a shot of my Ibanez S, not the best, but with a change on the pickups, is better LOL.

The reason why I didn't post this in the FL Studio Question thread is 'cause I NEVER get answers there. Plus, there is no rule on posting this.
Thanks
Well, man, all the answers are correct.
And well, if you are using FL Studio 9, theres a vst fx on the mixer, that is called GrossBeat, is a electronic music oriented vst, and has lots of differents functions, one of them is the possibility of Fade In or Fade out one instrument, one pattern or the whole song. but it just can fade in 4 beats, after that repeats the the fade.
Hope this helps
Anyway automation clips are the best things to do no just for fade in or fade out, you can disable effects at determinate time and visceversa and much more.
Yeah, like Mistery-Moon said, there's one effect in SYTRUS, in the FX section, it's called "SEA AND WIND". it makes a good job, give it a try, sounds really good.
Hi there, well, I'm just a recent member, but I wanted to give it a try to this Challenge, so here's my entry, some kind of flamenco & smoothjazz loop, hope you like it ^^.

Hi there, this project sounds really fun and, well, I have lots of vacations yet so, I decided to join, I'm not an experienced musician, but I definitly can improvise something "decent". What you say?
