If you are recording your music yes it is very important.

However, if you are using it live or you are going to a pro studio with an engineer just get a decent pair with bass.

:shock: A gtr amp? How do you mix your track than?

I really recommend you some speakers! Studio monitors or cheap-ass stereo speakers.. everything will be better than a gtr amp!! :o

If youve got the money, ill recommend Genelecs or Mackies.

Monitors and the acoustics of the room are very important to get a good translation to other speakers. I have Mackie 624's in a apartment. The monitors are good but my room is lacking.

damn dude, a guitar amp is more or less for midrange shiat, you wont be getting any of the highs properly and a wacked out muddled bass.
GET SOME MONITORS!!!!!!!!
even hifi speakers would be better than a guitar amp

I just picked up some Alesis M1 MKII monitors and coming from hifi speakers im in heaven!!!!!

enjoy.pez

making music without proper monitoring is like trying to hoop with bad eyesight and no glasses
