Yo TOMB !
my pal is looking for a real minimal digital type setup
two channel interface
two mic pres
two DI (maybe with overdrive like my teac does?? - tho can't see that happening on new stuff)
two PEQ
---------------
then two mics
for use primarily with his electric guitar with amp
help us brainstorm a system that's cheap as possible- it'll be fun
pal needs a lil setup - what's out there these days?

Re: pal needs a lil setup - what's out there these days?
The lil' Focusrites are great for the budget. Around here, every pawn shop has one.
And the lil' UADs are better, but at a steeper budget.
Add a SM57. Or an MD609.
And some other mic (could be almost anything) for contrast. MXL ribbon?
Are DS-1's still $40?
What's a PEQ? Passive EQs don't seem to be an entry-level kinda thing.
Don't forget some decent headphones. K240's are on Xmas sale for $50.

Re: pal needs a lil setup - what's out there these days?
did you mean parametric EQ maybe? Plugins are good for that unless you want to pay $$
I thought I'd post this - these seems like a pretty good starter kit for a good price
this is a used one (and I found out "Jeff's Gear" comes directly from Sweetwater's shipping dept... )
https://www.sweetwater.com/used/listing ... ing-bundle
or here is a new one:
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail ... ook-bundle
but they have lots of different bundles that upgrade or add various components too.
but what DAW software and what kind of computer will they use - sometimes that makes a huge difference (like if you say they only have an old laptop running Windows XP...)
