I received an email from a fellow forum member asking how much time I typically spend getting a guitar sound, from start to finish, as it seemed to him that it could be a long process, what with amp head and cab choices, guitar choices, mic choices and placement, mic pre, compressor, etc.

While it could vary from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, the typical range would usually be 1-5 minutes. Ten years ago, it would often take me a long time and be a struggle....time and experience does help to know what you need and how to get it quickly.
