Hello, Jcum! It's so nice to see you again!
Now with the friendly greeting out of the way I intend to to hurt your feelings by asking a hurtful question: shouldn't you be practicing right now? Because your playing is TERRIBLE!
Like you'd have a chance to begin with.
are active pickups for talentless djentlemen?
kinda makes sense bank b is the more vanilla effects

Hi, Jcum! Why are you still posting here when it's painfully clear from the clips you've posted that you need to be practicing instead?
Would you like to discuss exercises you should be doing instead of this?
Bet you can't wait to go home and twiddle those knobs, huh?
but I did
going to see my boy Trey wank it onstage for underage boys
Correct, you guys should hear my album it's pretty good asf

No. I was lurking all night
I don't worry about learning how to actually play the guitar. I'm more of a soundscapist.

I know Tucker is back, but after that "album" they can suck a fucking cock. No Sandoval is another negative.

Looking for a humbuckers equipped guitar just for a different sound. I've had nothing but my tele for a while now and would like a little variation.

>implying this is offensive to me in any way whatsoever
There's plenty of good guitarists out there user, do we really need another one? Electronics offer limitless possibilities. Why does this make you so angry?
I don't actually know would very much like to try one though.

Korean dean is a good choice.
>electronics offer limitless possibilities
Yes, and if you want to go that route then software synthesis is objectively better in every way.
Any easy pedals I could build myself to get my feet wet? I know a thing or two about electronics, but I've never built a guitar pedal.
Anyone like Ernie Ball?
if youre actually asking that question in this thread you aren't ready to build any pedals
I don't mind a Less Paul style guitar, I've just never had much love for the finish on Epiphones. I'll have to look for a Revstar, though where I am that won't be difficult.
Cannibal Corpse hates philly apparently so nah lol, Immolation instead
Not true btw. Computer synthesis is still extremely limited in the frequency range it's capable of replicating, especially in an effects chain where devices interact with each other.
There's plenty of schematics online, breadboarding shit is extremely simple with any basic electronics knowledge. I think you'd have a lot more fun modding cheap pedals but obviously this
I'm just lazy and looking for suggestions.
I'm interested in picky picks and how they'd change up my dynamics compared with generic fingerpicks.
Otherwise nah
The Revstars I've tried I've quite enjoyed, I tried a p90 and a humbucker one. Only reason I don't have one is because I already have an SG and an Explorer. I don't want another fixed bridge pure humbucker guitar.
Trey said sorry tho

>poorfag cope
This isn't even worth engaging.
Why do you think there's a pedal industry to begin with, user? If what you're saying was true then everyone would run their dry signal through VST macros in live and studio settings. Why the fuck do you think every style of guitar music makes use of effects pedals in some capacity rather than a laptop.
Is Gibson's Pelham blue paler in person? It looks really vibrant in photos but when I saw what I thought was it in person it looked really pale. Maybe I thought it was a different color?
You're really going to double down on this? Are you retarded?
Tell me, when an electronic musician is up on stage with a laptop, do you think he's running it through a pedal chain or something? Legitimately curious about how you think it works
>seething poorfag
Holy fuck it's almost like electroacoustic inputs yield sonic characteristics distinct from synthesizers.

someone with a legitimate point! Yes, this is true. HOWEVER, analog effects have been surpassed by digital. Hell, analog emulation has been good for nearly a decade now

Ok I have a serious question.
What is with you fags and your fancy pedals and shit? I don't get it.
Again, what the fuck are you doing here? If emulation was so sophisticated musical instruments would be pointless. You're clearly just broke as shit.
Clean guitar sound is boring.
>he words he doesn't understand

gold jerry. pure gold
You can play metal without high gain and distortion but it won't sound half as good. A lot of the sound relies on amplifying nuances in string vibration that are otherwise so quiet they're percussive effects instead of notes, and the notes decay much faster. It sounds like surf.
youtube.com
But you can also do a pretty okay job by just cranking a tube amp up until it blows your ears out.
Why?
Do you think acoustic sound is boring too? What about saxophone? Trumpet? Any instrument? Are they boring because they only produce one sound?
With any instrument you can get tons of different tones just by playing differently. Electric is probably already the most diverse sounding instrument the world has ever seen. If you can't produce a sound you like with all the settings you already have on a simple amp or guitar...idk wtf to tell you
I can smell the mold
Unless you own a museum, there's no reason to buy that garbage
certain genres are defined by the sound of effects that go beyond what a guitar and amp with standard onboard EQ controls can do, and pedals can give you distortion effects that sound like a cranked amp without causing severe hearing damage
>no argument
>ghost (You)
literal fucking coward lol
So if you want an organ sound, you should ditch your keyboard (which is locked into the sound of piano, because it's meant to be goddamnit! isn't that enough for you, ya talentless hack! *angry sip*) and buy an organ?
Nah just turn on the organ sound and play that fugue in Dm

>musical instruments would be pointless
See, effects-heavy music wouldn't be pointless on a guitar if you were going to incorporate the woody timbre and shimmering overtones that make the instrument unique. Knowing what a smoothbrain you are, you didn't even consider that.
>stopped reading
Well, you were almost respectable for a minute there
>step on right button
>do the part
>step on the left
I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a lot of your tone just come from practice and from feeling the music?
>but doesn't a lot of your tone just come from practice
oof poor jcum
it has a point either way because then you don't have to learn a whole other instrument to get the same effect as, drum roll, effects.
but what do you care, you don't play the stuff for profit or even fun. you just listen to it.
>implying clean is good
youtu.be
>the woody timbre and shimmering overtones that make the instrument unique
Unique to what? A lute? A harpsichord? Any other instrument thousands of years old?
Pull up your favorite song and tell me more about these rich woody overtones saved to your computer electronically and transmitted through your Skullcandy earbuds.
>jcum
wut?
80% of your real tone comes from practice and feel for the instrument. All the microscopic dynamics and deviations from the time signature that humans create effortlessly with good playing that take time consuming work or complex algorithms to recreate without a skilled musician. The voice of your playing. What you sound like. It takes years to develop. It's the difference between a master and an amateur, and between a talented person and a mere practiced player.
20% of "tone" (effects, more accurately called "the sound") comes from thousands of bucks in pickups and shit in the signal chain. It's the difference between a small upright piano and a grand piano - and the right or wrong player can make either sound good or bad.

>Effects heavy music is pointless on a guitar if you don't incorporate a sound unique to the instrument
It's not pointless if I play a guitar that sounds like a clarinet without any recognizable guitar sound. Why? Because hooking up a modeler takes 3 seconds and learning clarinet takes 3 years.
Plays better than I do

>Computer synthesis is still extremely limited in the frequency range it's capable of replicating
How do I not end up like JCUM? When improvising I can repeat the bits I practiced but not much else. It makes me regret getting a guitar.
>Clean guitar sound is boring.
Are you sure?
I've stated earlier that digital effects are on par with analog.
I'm saying that preserving the characteristics of the dry input is what matters. Otherwise, you might as well just use a midi controller.
>I'm saying that preserving the characteristics of the dry input is what matters
Only if the entire thing isn't digital. Why bother buying different physical effects when something like this (which is overpriced) can already sound like an entire "effect rack"? If you skip the digital to analog conversion and just stay digital you don't lose anything.
Do you practice fixed solos and the like? Stop that, practice the scales the solo is built up from until you just automatically know where to go next without having it pre-programmed.
>t. poorfag
Get a job and then come back.
^
>nb4 i was trolling!
lmao and there it is!
>Stop that, practice the scales
That's what I do. Just the major scale. I can't ever come up with something like this, for example:
youtube.com
For some time I was trying to start a bar with a chord and continue with a scale starting from one of the notes but it never sounded like anything interesting.
Why are you focused on just one scale? You can dip in and out of minor and other scales while still playing in major. That's where improv comes from.
I'm not advocating for physical effects of any kind. A computer can replace every piece of gear sans the guitar, with the benefit of being able to run it all through a PA if that tickles your fancy.
Because all the simple resolutions are inside it. e.g: start with a note, move up, down, etc, pause on a 7th or 4th to create tension and resolve on an octave of the root. All the good songs are like this. It doesn't really sound like anything when you stray away from it.
>ghost (You) #2
Poorfags are cowards.
Tell me user, what would you be midi controlling preferable to manipulated input of an electric guitar? I implore your guidance.
And you're wondering how to avoid sounding like that guy. Stop wondering, you will end up like him.
I love ghost (You)’s they taste the best
>what you be controlling?
Use your imagination. Soft synths come in every flavor you can think of and samples can be literally any sound. The only limitation is your creativity.
Then what do I do? How do I become Chet Atkins
Experiment, motherfucker. Learn modes, learn scales. Learn timing, learn small tricks like doubling/tripling a small lick before continuing on.
>tfw have been playing guitar for 9 years and my first guitar was an electric guitar but i still haven't bought a single pedal in my life and no amp set either because i live in a small apartment with thin walls where i'd never be able to turn up the volume.
How do you get started anyways?
And are you supposed to just feed completely clean sound into a pedal chain? I feel like minor coloration from an amp (most of them have their own effects and they can never be completely off) will affect pedal sounds a lot. I've only been playing on acoustic for the past few years and i'm probably missing out on a lot of fun.
Oh and stay the fuck out of the pentatonic hugbox unless you're playing AC/DC or blues.
Completely clean signal goes in the beginning of an effects chain, yes.
>Learn modes, learn scales
You know that's like telling someone to learn to draw by learning colors and basic shapes?
dude, it goes guitar > pedals > amp
this is either bait or very, very sad
>playing guitar is only permissible if you play it exactly how I like without to many pedals
>Use your imagination
Don't use your imagination on electroacoustic sound sourcing though. That's a no no, so says my fifty-year old uncle that drinks Coor's Light and listens to The Eagles.
>oOooOOoOOOOooo
>g-g-g-host y-y-y-ous

>t. poorfag rage
this is probably just going to bounce directly off of you yet again, but I'll try anyways:
Your computer can SIMULATE a pedal chain.
If you route your guitar through your computer, you can have UNLIMITED pedal combinations that you can swap around on the fly.
You can create a digital rig this way that would be COMPLETELY UNFEASIBLE with analog pedals.
Is any of this getting through to you?

I got one of these in January. Link me a VST plugin capable of producing the same range of effects with the same nuance in random settings.
I doubt you'll even reply to this post given how wrong you are.
>no one's designed software to replicate this pedal
>therefore a computer wouldn't be capable of replicating this pedal
>heheh better luck next time kid
I already know how to play guitar now why the fuck would I use a midi controller to please your autistic obsession with keeping instruments "in their territory"
Might as well does not translate well when doing the thing that comes after might as well represents the same if not more money and a lot more fucking time. And it definitely doesn't translate well when despite the loss of muh woody guitar overtones I still have the dynamics I've learned to incorporate into playing fretted plucked string instruments, which are difficult to recreate live with a midi controller.
why do you think predictable electronic components can not be simulated
>Link me a VST plugin capable of producing the same range of effects with the same nuance in random settings.
No one cares about that stupid effect. Link me a pedal that can make this sound
>no one cares
I win
I'm gonna tell you a secret about sound design, my man. Now don't tell anyone, because it's SUPER secret.
What if I told you that you can layer a bunch of subtle effects to make ONE BIG EFFECT?
I know that it'll probably take a moment to process, it's a lot to take in. Take a deep breath.
Now what if I told you that you can do this... More than once IN THE SAME EFFECTS CHAIN?!
>I win
I designed an overdrive pedal in Proteus Ares (I think it's Ares, I don't remember which one of them does the the schematic capture) and it could literally simulate how a circuit is going to sound with a given audio sample. The simulation sounded just as terrible as the real thing.
It makes me wonder exactly how "amp modelling" works. Is it just a clipping/gain curve + EQ?
Do you lay on your back for your partner like this too?
>arguing capability rather than practicality
>being this fucking dense
Pedals are pointless bro if a plugin hasn't been written to replicate its effect just learn a sophisticated combination of sound design and computer programming and do it yourself lol

There are entire lifetimes worth of gay guitar music too, literally why are you making more?
And there are several lifetimes of useless hacks who play triads filtered through an effects loop that could have been replicated with a synth in a quarter of the time and money it took.
Now while I'm sure you're keeping at least one boutique pedal designer in labour a year, you're not exactly adding much to music.
Sell your shit, buy a controller keyboard and play around with vsts. Thank me later.

Believe whatever the fuck you want to believe, you're a bedroom noodler whose sound isn't defined by technique, only by his effects chain.
Although calling you a noodler is probably giving you too much credit.

That sounds good to me :)
>tfw escaped the shredder trap
>tfw got gud at fulfilling fingerstyle self-accompaniment
Struck a nerve, huh? You will *never* stumble into uncharted sonic territory on a clean guitar sound. It's run its course a hundred years and all possible simulations have already been run. You will never write a riff or tonal harmony that isn't totally derived from something already recorded, mass produced, promoted, and sold. At least you can shred though, you do have that.
No I'll continue playing guitar music, thanks.
you just replying to random people? why'd you (you) me faggot
Because you may as well record your own farts and feed it through your fx chain.
>uncharted sonic territory
If you actually believe that, I suggest you listen to more music.
>you may as well record your own farts and feed it through your fx chain

No by all means, go right ahead. You might be the next Death Grips.

weird flex but alright
you can't inhale your own farts if you have to record them, silly
And being the next Death Grips would be an issue because ...???

I'm not the one clinging to his fx chain. I'm sure your farts won't be that different sounding from your playing.

I feel like I'm spending my money at the gentlest way of putting it, inefficiently
>I'm not the one clinging to his fx chain
As opposed to... clinging to a piece of wood? You lost me, user. I'm not aware of any fart pedals on the market. I have no interest in playing guitar "well"
>I have no interest in playing guitar
ftfy
I accept that. Do you not understand that I accept that? Why does this make you rockist brainlets so uncomfortable when someone doesn't care about what you decide to obsess over?
Because you're in a thread for guitars and bass and your shitting on the couch asking everyone to admire your turds.
>mfw this whole thread
Here you go boo some fuel.

i just found i bought a single .28 elixir string from stringsbymail in 2014 and it's still sitting on my wardrobe untouched
Yeah sure, y'all maybe able to bend a minor 3rd into a major 3rd while making a face like you just smelt baby diarrhea, but none of you will literally ever be able to rip a fat sweep arpeggio sequence with intermingled taps and alternate-picked runs if your lives depended on it
idk what this is but it sounds like some gay shit
>if your lives depended on it
it must suck to be such an attention starving whore
TROLL'D ON BEHALF OF KEKISTAN

working kills the creative drive
tfw gonna work fulltime tomorrow so mr goldenberg can travel
i dont even play guitar anymore and each month that follows on this job kills my hope a bit more
>walletfags triggered by gear talk
I don't think this is necessarily true but a lot of people get lost in the proficient dexterity of musical practice rather than making r something new.
>99% of the world's top pianists come from China
>produces / has produced 0% of the world's top composers
>T. intimidated by people with actual ability
there's a million and one people with greater guitar ability than you and all of them sound the same
is that intimidating to you?
>being good at your instrument makes you bad at your instrument
>therefore, spend money
>you don't want to spend money?! you must be poor!!
Boss has deposited $.05 into your account
Gear is a means to an end of course, but I'd rather listen to an hour of Derek Bailey than a fucking ten minute Steve Vai solo.

>composers
Nobody gives a shit about intricate, creative, and skillful displays in artistic talent anymore. Nobody has "produced" any "top" "composers" in recent years because nobody gives a shit anymore. Entertainment is king. Art is fucking irrelevant. Why do you think the oscars wanted to eliminate awards for cinematography and editing while at the same time introducing one for "best popular movie"? You're using the lack of "regognition" as proof of something when that something hasn't been recognised by anyone since for almost a hundred years now.
Ok wait.
the fastest way to idiocracy
>Personally, I prefer huffing my own farts over mindless wanking
Ahh yes, the two genders.
I'm not telling you what a good reality is I'm telling you what the actual reality is you stupid fuck. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant, you can't do shit about it because you're just as much a fucking idiot as everyone else.
The movie you're namedropping was making fun of people like you anyway.
>You're using the lack of "regognition" as proof of something when that something hasn't been recognised by anyone since for almost a hundred years now.
Ok that's a good point actually but are you aware of ANY composers originating from China achieving any degree of acclaim whatsoever? I'm not. Not even one.
Could definitely be a cultural thing or repression of the Chinese government, but the contrast warrants investigation.
I'm not this guy btw

This is a sad anime face
I think it's about time to put him down, buddy. he's sufferin'.
>but are you aware of ANY composers originating from China achieving any degree of acclaim whatsoever? I'm not. Not even one.
I can't answer that in any confident way since I am not too familiar with the long running history of Chinese music. Could be the unlikely thing that a large, vastly populated and fairly advanced portion of an entire continent didn't generate a single interesting idea for over a thousand years, could be western canon is based entirely around the achievements of western works and eastern ideas never caught interest regardless of merit, could be the idea of western canon started losing relevance in western culture itself by the time extra-european influences started taking hold. I am not educated enough on the subject to say what the actual reason is, and you sound like you're pretty much in the same position, making your question irrelevant, making discussion of this irrelevant. All I know is modern trends and those modern trends couldn't give the slightest shit about artistry, creativity or tradition. Those things are 100% irrelevant now and saying that China hasn't produced any "classically minded influential contemporary composers" is utterly redundant.
Thank you for your input.
>not calling me a fa/gg/ot

PAYPAL ME SOME GAS MONEY AND THAT'S YOUR ASS BUDDY
Alright /gg/oys red-pill me on RACK MOUNTED GEAR. I noticed it is a lot cheaper than regular amps, but I still don't understand what makes them so good.
Guitar racks should have died in the 90s. They are even more obsolete now as they are woefully outclassed by things like AxeFx
>check AxeFx site
>scroll to "featured artists"
>not a single name that has produced any art of any value
doesn't inspire much confidence desu
...
Can anyone name me a good bass to get for under $300?
Looks very vintage and relic. I bet the tone is even better than it looks.
I would unironically get this just to get the poor bastard playing
