Ive been in this situation on and off for the past 5 years or so. Here are some things I have found that have helped me;

Play with other people - anyone and as many as possible

One does not simply open an amp demo with a Bon Iver cover and not at least attempt the falsetto singing.....

I had to sell my internet pedal earlier this year and I miss it dearly. Its an amazing, vicious OD circuit. enjoy your new purchase

I've built quite a few musikding kits. the pcb's are always really well made and i don't think I've ever had a problem with them. id start by trouble shooting the wiring as thats where I've often gone ...

Ben - The Les Paul Deluxe sounds like a Tele (really, it does) is that close enough. Laughing

It is absolutely stunning tbf. Gold top with p90's is ALWAYS a winner

this cant be taken seriously as you dont have a tele. every guitar room needs a tele

that being said BOTH marshalls are fit as fuck

I got one a couple of weeks ago for a quick and easy reverb for when I'm at home. Its ok, but having to change the settings with your phone gets tiresome once you've got over the 'Cool!' factor. Also ...

The best tip I've found with dwarfcraft stuff is just to USE IT!

mess with it, guitar, bass, synth, cheap £1 keyboard, twiddle, twiddle with it facing away from you. Don't get hooked up on what kno ...

I bloody love all those old recordings. congrats on a lovely guitar purchase as well

I have an ozark one. not sure of the model but it was an ebay bargain, think it was 100. it has its troubles but its absolutely brilliant for the money

This may get scoffed at but try a Behring ...

In the long run you'd be better off with a semi decent mic and a USB interface. I don't have any real experience of USB mics but I'm sure you'll get better quality from even a budget dynamic mic

If you get a free daw like reaper then there are a shed load of free vst instruments.

What type of drum sounds are you after & is it just for home recording?

Yeah just for home stuff for Def ...

Do you want a stand alone program or a vst drum machine?

I honestly do not know what that means. I'm guessing a standalone programme????

Not free but EZ Drummer 2's pretty good. I use it with Reaper.

I've heard good stuff about it but it's a bit too spendy for me I'm afraid. Anyone got any more ideas?

Whats a good one? preferably free and as easy to use as possible as this is a first for me?

I use reaper so something that works well with that is essential

doesn't need to be overly pro but loo ...

properly like! nice work

God I miss that shiva Sad

Love my LPB1, not the most transparent but adds a slight flavour which I personally like.

A lot of folk seem to be going for the EP Booster at the moment. Might be worth a look.

I'd love an ep b ...
