>Reverb for good & cheap accessories
You don't lie. I just bought a strap and instrument cables there.

>what i really play is jangly punk with some fingerpicked solos, so i dont need heavy metal tones but id like a decent amount of warmth
Filtertrons, dude. Filtertrons. Or something like them.

Oh sure I love reverb I live right buy the Chicago music exchange which is the company that reverb grew out of it's fucking rad being able to buy and sell stuff without the hassle of going into a store it's also so much easier getting your money back on stuff you regret buying I've sold about 3 or 4 pedals and have pretty much just lost out on shipping fees but made everything else back

The cheapest Filtertron clones you're likely to find: ebay.com/itm/121926106929

Just like Bret Michaels lole

youre really pushing for this dude i appreciate the enthusiasm im gonna go for it

These are rebranded Artec, so they're Korean, not Chinese. Artec makes good, cheap pickups. GFS sells their pickups for a slightly higher markup and significantly higher shipping prices.

There's two of us recommending the Filtertrons. I recommended the EJs, then recommended the Filtertrons, then you said the word "jangly" and I'm like, yep, Filtertrons. That's what you want. They're jangly as shit.

Are those actual filtertron style pickups though. I always felt like they were just rehoused generic humbuckers like what comes in the cheap Gretsches.

They are the same pickup as the "Liverpool" model at guitarfetish.com/GFS-Nashville-Vintage-Filtertron-Style-Humbucker-Chrome_p_21919.html
There's sound samples there and there's demos if you search Youtube for GFS Liverpool or Guitarfetish Liverpool.
There's technical specs at caliguitar.com/pickup/h27.htm

Gibsons aren't expensive but there are better uses for your money

You don't have the buy the most expensive guitar you can afford just to prove that you have a job. The vast majority of "high end" guitars are no better than $600 korean shit because solidbody guitars are just solid wooden holders for the tuners, frets, bridge and pickups and there's little room for shit like tuning the soundboard and backboard like there is with acoustics. All you have to do is grab a good, solid chunk of wood and age it properly - or don't even fucking use wood.

But if I bought the most expensive shit I could I'd own two customs from T's guitars, each emblazoned with vinyl prints of my two favorite anime chicks, not some overweight, poorly designed fashion accessory for people trying to recreate the 60s.

the second measure hurts me deeply

post the most expensive guitar you could realistically afford right now without resorting to loans or dipping into non-guitar-related savings funds

do you even have a job tier: anything under $1000 (MIM, MIK, MIC)
poverty tier: $1000-1500 (eg: MIA fender)
poorfag tier: $1500-3000 (most gibsons, suhr)
finances in order but you could do better tier: $3000-6000 (higher end of ESP, gibson, suhr, etc)
savvy and successful tier: $6000-$10000 (one-offs and collectibles)
wealthy tier: $100000+ (collectibles only past this point)
richfag tier: $20,000+

sheet music was meant for pianos hence it not being a rational system where every step up the staff is a true whole step, and instead being arranged so each step up the staff is the next note in the key of C major/A minor and deviations from this system are "accidental"

it's awkward to apply to any other instruments but especially to guitars, since they're capable of 6-8 note polyphony and aren't tuned to an easy interval like 5ths. it's basically tabs for pianists but a complex mental exercise in transcription for guitarists.

it's not a coincidence or a joke that guitarists don't use it if they don't have to, or unless they're being pretentious for its own sake (classical/jazz)

Yeah but if you take the time to learn it you get to claim to be more intelligent than everyone else

If you learn it you become more intelligent, not just claiming

>implying sheet music and pianos aren't both based on the same tonal system that dominated the musical world in which they were created.

I would recoil in horror but glass houses y'know?

How long you've been playing user?.

Excellent. I'll start right away

If you learn it you've proved you had the general intelligence required to learn it, that's all. But that's like buying a $2500 gibson to prove you're rich enough to buy a $2500 gibson.

You could do more useful things with your finite number of neurons. Maybe learn a skill that's relevant to the economy.

Also opening up a huge world of written music to you in a way that makes it easy to understand how it was conceptualized by its composer

it's all been transcribed to tabs by now and if it hasn't you can do that without actually knowing it well enough to try and sight read

i "know" sheet music but I can't sight read worth shit unless it's a keyboard

>in a way that makes it easy to understand how it was conceptualized by its composer
Nice job not even reading half my post. Chill dude.

>easy to understand how it was conceptualized by its composer
except that's exactly what you're losing when transcribing it to an instrument like the guitar

there's really no point to sheet music for guitar. either learn it by ear or get a tab

There are reasons to try to understand what you're hearing other than just being able to play it on guitar.

I already told you I can read it, I just can't sight read for guitar because I've never even bothered practicing it. I get it though, sheet music looks like a graph of pitch against time and and tabs look like block shapes. It's just a really shitty graph of pitch against time since it's specialized for a narrow selection of instruments and only half decent for others that belong to the same tradition.

I only know it for piano's sake, and transcribing shit to tabs because music for guitar is meant to be written as tabs (and then you should know which notes are on which spots by now).

Based

You're missing what I'm saying. It's not always about sight reading for guitar. It makes it easier to process more musical information visibly and that's valuable.

I study fugues and only play guitar for fun (riffing aimlessly). I know what you're talking about, but I don't think it's intuitive enough to guitarists to be valuable and will help you understand how music was arranged or composed *for the guitar*. You can look at G D Bb A G Bb A G F# A D all day but you don't understand until you play it and suddenly the sheet music IS the piano. You just don't get that using sheet music for a guitar. It's a transcription, it's cold and soulless. You can pick out voices by eye easier than you can with tabs and articulate accordingly but that's it for guitar.

Go ahead and figure out all the ways you can fit that ditty on a fretboard now

Stop being retarded and play PRS. Literally not a single other guitar company gives a fuck about their shit under $1k.

50% snake oil 50% high grade figured tops

solid body guitars don't sound or play better over $1k, they just look better

That's what I'm saying. If you're paying over $1k you're paying for bullshit. If you're buying under $1k, PRS is easily the best choice. Best neck shape, most reliable electronics, best balance, and all the features youd expect in a nicer guitar except locking tuners. Gibson is by far one of the shittiest, with fender and Ibanez coming close. Schecter and ESP honestly make good pieces for the money, but a lot of them are awful to look at. Dean and jackson, stay the fuck away, absolute garbage, literally worse than Agile

fuck you faggot i play a USA Jackson that retails for $3k

i hate prs necks and their neck heels, don't like their electronics, and think they're ugly as fuck

also a shitload of dean and jackson is made in the same factory as schecter to the same price point just saying. they even have identical headstocks, necks, and neck joints sometimes.

You're a retard then and wasted your money. I'd say sorry, but you deserve it. And before you even try and defend its features, literally every brand can and does make a similar or better guitar with the same features for less. You quite literally and unironically burned cash for nothing.

You're thinking of ESP m8, schecter and those other trash brands have quite literally nothing in common. What's your favorite neck type then? If you say fender I'll know not to ever read any post you make ever again. If you say wizard or wizard 2, slightly based, but even Mario camarena doesn't have a wizard neck on his signature Ibanez so, enjoy your hand cramps.

i didn't say i paid $3k for it. i actually got it used for about $1k. its top tier in literally every aspect, and i've never added or made a single modification because it's perfect.

enjoy your shit korean fender ripoff fag

Wizard 2, for the manlet hand.

Even 1k you got completely ripped off bud. Also you have the ugliest head stock known to man. Go play hockey with your 1k piece of shit.

Based until you finish middle school and start playing for real. I cant think of a single good guitar player that started on a wizard neck and stayed playing wizards, except for some tech death dudes who don't do a whole lot of chord shapes anyways.

Does intonation matter at all

My hands are just too soft and baby-like

whats wrong with agile? looking at their specs, the guitars seem really nice, feels good in the hand too, just a bit heavy

which headstock do i have, since you're so smart

also keep seething poorfag. guarantee you have some piece of shit bolt-on with shit-tier wood, electronics, and a garbage bridge like a tune-o-matic or something. lol queer

can I see it? the only jacksons ive heard of that are ~3k are super duper og rhoads Vs, I am genuinely curious

Any advice for a beginner bass and amp? Are the Squier start packs any good?

tune o matics are the best fixed bridges sorry m8 try again

you don't need a bass amp. your fruity loops guy has that covered.

What

>jacksonguitars.com/gear/series/usa-series

all the USA made jacksons start at around $3k. these are literally the same guitars that international touring acts play. hence, why i haven't made any modifications to mine

>fixed bridge
oh no its retarded

Yes, everyone who has ears can tell your shit sounds awful.

Their electronics and build quality are sub par. Not that it's horrible for the price, my 8 string is an Agile, but their soldering and wiring is usually shit, had to redo all of it after only a year on mine. Also their double truss rods aren't great either, but that's a niche issue.

I play a PRS SE Custom 24 30th anniversary edition with a beautiful sea green flame maple top, locking tuners, flawless solder and neck through. $500. Cope harder, invariably rich fags like you cant play for shit anyways.

Wizard necks will cause your shit to cramp up eventually, trust me

>links to the website instead of just posting his guitar
Oh so you're just trolling, ok.

you can get a japan made schecter for half that and get a better guitar.

>invariably rich fags like you cant play for shit anyways
yikes, m8. i play in a touring band and we're signed onto a record label. also, didn't you read my post where i said i only paid about $1k? cope harder though fag. enjoy playing your shit korean guitar (i looked it up and my initial guess was right lmao) in your bedroom though

USA Jackson SL1 is listed at $4k on their website, but i was able to find one on craigslist for less than a third of the price. sometimes these things are possible. the more you know!

you can kys anytime you'd like now. thanks!

most of the price is shit like the flame neck just saying

And the quartersawn neck. Because some sucker out there thinks it has more sustain than a multi-piece neck.

Should I get a delay and reverb combo pedal or delay and looper pedal combo? I cant decide, been looking at grand canyon and a boss rv3
How do you /gg/uys use the ditto when it only has 1 knob? Id prolly have trouble memorizing the taps and holds

My dad works at Nintendo

Personally, I'd say delay/looper, but that's because I'm a DL4 fag.

gotta say, if not for that headstock shape, Id be all over a jackson soloist, shit feels great

Seriously though it's the 30th anniversary edition. Guitar center had it used and thought it was a regular SE and listed it for 500. Probably my favorite guitar I've owned so far, once I realized that paying over a grand is a complete waste of money I sold my expensive shit and bought this and an axe fx.

Are there and good jazz guitar albums on clean solid body guitars?

Not really, check out Ed Bickert i guess. He played a tele for all of his career.

Lmao I fucking called it, this nigga out here playing a hockey stick

Complete beginner here. I am most interested in learning electric guitar and getting good with pedals/distortion effects aka making shoegaze like music. However, Inhave a hand me down acoustic that isn't bad at all but it's obviously not electric. Should I save money and learn the basics on the acoustic and then get an electric guitar, or should I just go ahead and get an electric guitar right away? thanks

Attached: daf23d60302d728c885ab4e7ff903d03.jpg (640x738, 128K)

Just get an electric if you want to play those styles. Most shoegaze guitarists can't even play guitar, they just play pedals.

>I can only post the headstock bro or I'll get doxxed bro I'm famous believe me bro
Ok ya got me, you've now officially proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you completely wasted your money lmao

the made in USA looks shooped

Get the feel for it on acoustic and then transition to electric. Also buy a used Squier Classic Vibe Strat or something and a decent used amp.

big cope. please just admit that you got btfo by someone who actually plays in front of an audience

>axe fx

Lmao I fucking called it, this nigga out here playing in his bedroom

acoustic and electric are completely different to play

get the one you actually want also play more than just fender's budget line and remember tube preamp section = the one true path but tube power section = doesn't matter as long as you have 100w.

bedroom players buy cheapo noisy pedals and play on laptops

if you want to play an electric then get one and start there. this whole "muh basics" on an acoustic is and outdated boomer meme

I think I'll learn some basic chords and play some simple songs and then get an electric guitar. Might as well take advantage of the "free" guitar lol

that works, might as well get your fingers moving sooner rather than later.

>trust me dudes this isn't my dads guitar I'm famous and shit
>axe fx are for bedroom players dude that's why polyphia uses them and btbam and shitloads of other famous people
>I'd know because I'm famous
Alright man geeze we get it you're famous and that means you're good at guitar like nickelback and lil Wayne

absolutely seething

i should consider posting timestamps more often to btfo more people lol

post timestamp with the entire guitar

it's okay even if you do tour everyone familiar with your metal act already expected you to be a smug shithead on Yea Forums

You've proven you own an overpriced guitar, with the ugliest headstock outside of BC rich, so, I wouldn't say seething. But ya did get my ass as far as owning it I'll admit that much, nice one. Post the rest of your rig

any one know what oren ambarchi's technique is based on?

He mostly works with pedals, doesn't really do anything interesting from a pure guitar standpoint. Get a looper, reverb and a ring mod and you can duplicate most of what he does

Hes not gonna do it bro didn't you read hes fucking famous bro that's why daddy wont let him post touch the guitar to take an actual picture

will give it a go nice one

Who the fuck cares what guitar you play? Use what works for your stage and genre. I'm not bringing a 3k piece to play intense pop when I can't replace it easily on the road. There's a reason for ubiquitous quality guitars in the 500-range. Walk into a store and quickly replace your axes. They're tools, not prized possessions...

I think I mentioned this a while back. Most of the bands I play with still have these super nice expensive guitars and all, but they still prefer playing cheap guitars live because they don't want to risk damaging their pride and joy or their expensive custom shops. No one really cares what you play as long as you sound good

>his guitar isn't so expensive and rare that merely posting it would alert the world to how famous you are
Never gonna make it

Some of them are pretty fucking nice

Adjust the truss rod once, you're done for life (if it even needs one), shit never goes out of tune, no hum, no buzz, no scratchy noises, sustain for days, that kind of thing

I'm describing a metal/plastic guitar with EMGs by the way

Shut up d00d this is 4chinz where money spent=skill earned keep up. Anything less than 3k on your axe and 5k on your amp and you literally may as well not play

nah this is 4chinz where ex-losers fresh out of high school are desperate to larp as the ridiculous caricatures of successful adults they have thought up

that's me, i'm one of them

my guitar was $4000, a telecaster (a real man's guitar), my amp is a fender tone king (an amp for adults), i drive a mustang with a v8 (an AMERICAN brand, because i love america now, and an engine for mature adult heterosexual non-pedophile men such as myself), and i like big titty because that's what a man oughtta!

to think just a few years ago before i turned 18 i was an anime watching pedophile that wanted to drive a honda and play an ibanez

You're so fucking mad about that headstock pic aren't you lmao

your headstock is obvious metalhead stuff i think you're probably 13 at the oldest or just really fat and ugly

get a fender or a gibson like an adult with a job (i am an adult with a job, trust me)

Kek I'm still the PRS nigga I'm just fuckin around. I don't know where jackson brah went, think he got his keks in after flashing his wallet and bounced. Cant blame him, still think Jackson's are pieces of shit though. I've never held one I've liked, their neck profiles feel weird and their hardware is usually sub par. I'm sure a 3k one is nice, but I'm never spending that kind of money on a guitar, ever, unless I end up rich. But even then I don't know why you wouldn't just get a custom piece done.

You all wasted your money

I'm a famous touring artist and I play an ibanez gio

Hello Mr. Satriani
I think a gio or like the absolute bottom tier RG was the first guitar I ever bought kek, served me faithfully for many a year before getting a schecter in high school, and then sperging out and going through a whole bunch of different shit later on that made no sense like a semi hollow tele with a warmoth wizard neck.

Or... It would be easier to swallow your pride and realise that you can get well by on common, stable and replaceable tools. Things eventually break or go wrong - having redundancy plans in place make your job way easier.

What do you think my post was even about?

Yes yes yes that's all common sense and boring to point out, that's why we gotta hit ya with the
>lmao this fucking poorfag, cope harder
Yea Forums is not a place for serious discussion, it's a place for famous people to post expensive ugly head stocks c'mon dude

Reread my reply. You're literally just restating what's already been said

Two of the posts hes replying to are just me larping as jackson brah lmao. Id never buy a guitar I wouldn't be comfortable jumping into the crowd with, because that's kind of the expectation for the genre I play

I need a suggestion. I used to play bass and guitar 5 years ago, then completely stopped. At the moment I have the instruments and a pedal board, but I no longer possess an amp. Right now I would like to start practicing again, but I don't think it's a good idea to buy a new amp since I will mostly play alone. Any alternative suggestions? I'm a boomer so I know nothing about playing on PC and such.

You want the extremely low budget poorfag high-school me edition? Buy a line6 tone port for 50 bucks, and use the free version of podfarm. Profit. Non poorfag? There are loads of audio interfaces that will do a good job, and plenty of amp simulating software both free and paid that can do a great job, but range anywhere from slightly overpriced to majorly overpriced. If you're just wanting a little practice amp it's hard to go wrong these days

Squier seems overpriced. Get a used Yamaha, Aria or Ibanez, those pop up a lot. Or a new Harley Benton.

As for the amp: You can go with a DI/Preamp thing into a computer, or a tiny Class D amp head into a cab. Maybe you could get lucky and score a nice old valve head or a big cab if you look around your local used market.

I'll concede that the snark went over my head. I'm a bit too used to the idiocy of other forums (TDPRI, offsetguitars, reddit, TGP) where people are seriously way up their ass with money = skillzzzzz

All good m8, it's like that in every hobby desu shooting, lifting, cars, you name it. People at the range listen to the guy with a 3k glock even though he shoots like shit, or the guy with 50k in his WRX even though hes slow as fuck around the track, or who has a 600lb deadlift even though hes running grams of gear. Just a byproduct of rampant consumerism. Once I actually got better than almost everyone I knew at guitar I realized that buying expensive shit was fucking retarded, because I also realized somewhere out there is some 8 year old chink on a gio making me look like a droopy eyed armless orphan, like that jap girl who played with Polyphia at the age of like 12 or whatever.

Hell, I'll admit that my pitfall is pedal snobbery. I love programming effects (pic relevant, my pride and joy. Roast me.) and synthesizers (analog and digital) outside playing guitar. I do it for fun out of my pocket, hopefully yalls do the same.

Attached: 1559554105555.jpg (1600x1600, 1.76M)

I like your board user. It's really cool, I'm too retarded to work my head around digital effects
Thats another thing, I think people here need to stop shitposting about what guitar they have and just play for the hell of it. Definitely a more productive use of their time, no wonder people get angry when people ask them to play, because they seem to spend more time talking about their instruments than actually playing them. Elitism is nasty

Pedals are one thing I mostly wont give someone a bit of shit about paying extra for, because you just cant compare a boss reverb to an ED or similar boutique reverb, most boutique pedals are extremely unique things. I want an avalanche run so fucking bad but cant justify the purchase. I want a big pedal board full of all kinds of shit, but right now I just have my axe fx, and a DL4+an EQ gathering dust in my closet. I unironically want to get a korg miku
That's because learning to play well is hard and spending money is easy desu

And by boss reverb I meant the cheap stomp boxes, not what you've got going on there I've never even seen that before lmao

so everyone here can hear a note in their mind and instantly find it on the guitar down to the fret right?

I came upon this new piece, it's based around a form of melodic minor, I play the bass note and hold it while playing a simple blues whole tone trill then move the bass note to unexpected places. It has a Portishead feel to it, dark and moody. Then to a minor chord which I play a -7b5 scale over and to a new inversion of a dominant 7 then to a min/maj7 completing the cadence (almost a 2 5 1). Then to a major , down a step to a 7+9, repeat.

Keeps me occupied.

Post clips nigga aint nobody here know a fuck about theory and shit goddamn chill just play it bruh c'mon

I got things to do.

I am running Boss effects for the end of my chain (DL/RV500) - basically Strymon equivalents. The reverb has a max decay of 10 s. This limitation is actually good - it prevents me from just playing one note and "just playing effects", a pitfall everybody has if you play at home, alone.

The Zooms pedals are functionally programmable boutique pedals. You can stack up to 6 effects in any order, with various lo-fi variants of most effects. It effectively gives you access to 12 extra pedals, should you need it.

And then the next thing you'll know they'll be putting a disco beat to it, harvesting a sample from my erotic phone chat and they'll all be dancing to it in the clubs. And you know the worst thing? I won't get a broad bean farthing out of it.

That's badass. I have the opposite problem, unless it's something obvious like reverb I almost never use effects in my music, I barely use delay even. Then I listen to Night Verses or Minus the Bear and realize I'm missing out on so much more I could be doing with my music. Even Chon has started incorporating effects in their new album and desu it sounds fucking heavenly so far, especially in Petal and the clip Mario posted to his Instagram of the unreleased song.

dude why would you write it out in a paragraph when you could just spell a simple chord progression

Its a pasta

Let's be clear here. Playing effects is an extra dimension to your style. Meaning your other pillars (equipment, theory, agility) inform your usage of effects. Although math rock (not CHON, they're a metal band for edgy kids) takes this to a pretty far extreme, you don't need to be playing at that level to be content. There's many ways to go with effects, but less is always more for your own style.

Because it's not that simple, part is melody only with a bass line so there isn't an implied chord . Then I'd have to write -7 but also notate the -7b5 scale overlaid. And then, I'm unsure of the alt dom 7 chord spelling as I made it up and ain't worked out the notes.

Ctrl+v whatever.

You're either baiting, or mixing up Chon with Polyphia. Or is covet also metal for edgy kids? Regardless, chon and polyphia both have taken their music to a whole new level when they stopped just running dry amp signals, obviously effects don't make the man but if the tools are available to add more layers to your music you're not less or more of a musician for using them, it's just different music. You've just managed to say nothing while also sounding like a total faggot desu

Dude just post a clip

They bored me to tears in Newborn Sun and I didn't get back on board after. Same story with Covet and Polyphia. I do enjoy math rock: just not cold, dead shredding.

I'm not even going to be an asshole on this one, if you haven't listened since newborn sun you need to give them and polyphia another listen. they've both matured in a big way musically. Covet I appreciate for their skill and musicality but their music is a bit boring for me overall. For CHON look up Continue? And for polyphia check out Rich Kids. You may not be into it, but to say its soulless shredding is just wrong, and I'd agree that newborn sun a d especially early polyphia was soulless shredding. I used to fucking hate polyphia with a passion, but new levels new devils is one of my favorite albums in recent memory, despite not really enjoying trap music or instrumental guitar in an album length setting.

Rate my guitar m8s.

youtube.com/watch?v=J2eemULALq4

seriously bros is there a cleaner live guitar duo than these two? say what you will about their music, they play some incredibly difficult pieces with almost zero gain, and sound perfect show after show after show.

Look into John Scofield

How old is too old for black metal?

You're never too old.

But playing or listening to it publicly beyond your 20's is pretty sad

Birelli Lagrene , Standards, it's about the best there is.

Someone save this and post it in /g/

Wizard necks are for manlets and fatsos lmfao

Did he hit the nail.on the head though?

Yep, you can plug straight into an interface and use DAW or a different guitar amp emulation software (check out Guitar Rig or Amplitube). Using this method sounds way better than a crappy practice amp although it might make practice a little more difficult since it's tricky to play songs simultaneously with DAWs. Maybe get practice amp with a headphones out?

As for the bass. Go to a store and try different stuff out. You might prefer the tone and feel of a modern bass or maybe you'll enjoy the classics (p-bass, jazz bass) more. Squier makes good stuff (especially the older classic vibe stuff). Ibanez SR-series, Yamaha BB and RBX series are worth checking out.

Second hand is they way to go if you want a quality instrument for cheap. Just make sure the neck is straight, there's no buzz on the frets and that the electronics are working.

Locking tuners are guitar center memes bro

>gibson

duuuude
that guitar has a skull AND flames

i've never seen so much wrong in one post

It's not snake oil. I've played dozens of PRS Custom 24s and that money buys you consistency and quality. Perfectly shaped frets, perfectly cut nuts, perfect tuning stability and perfect playability. I can get the action down as close as the strings touching the frets and there's no buzz. You're paying for American labour, quality control and of course, the aesthetics. Only some begrudging poorfag would claim a $600 guitar made in the Korean World Guitar factory is *identical* to a core PRS.

But PRS are ugly bastard guitars. Do you really want to sound like Santana?

For real you can get a $240 guitar with a lesser known brand and they are as good and made in the same factory if not better quality.

Also $1,000 - $2,000 guitars, forget it, it's just vanity really. You could buy a $300 Yamaha, and play better and sound better and if you want add $100 pickup upgrade. And it'll be unique and different.

Anyway didn't Gibson go out of business or was that Marshall?

Hows it play

Get a job, buy a Gibson and thank me later

Plays ok. The neck is backbowed so I'm hoping the string tension will help pull it back into shape. So far its helping but it's a waiting game as to see how much. I picked it up for $10 and put some time and parts into it. I'm going to give it to my nephew.

I guess. Does he even care about guitars?

Trey Azagthoth with Morbid Angel gets plenty sick with those amps. :dude:dude

Couple of tips from working on his rig, don't over estimate how much gain and distortion you really need. Over-cooking it just mushes out in the mix. Great just jamming in the garage or whatever by yourself but performing doesn't benefit from that. Trey is running the clean channel with a Rat and an EQ pedal, that's it, and the channel on the amp is nowhere near maxed out. He keeps the controls on the gain channel all the way down and switches to that for a stage mute. Trey's amps have all been converted to run EL34. That is a worthwhile mod. For the rest of it, I'd say run it as is and learn to work with what's there.

No, I'm going to give it to him because he likes clowns.

I guess they're not lying when they say juggalos are a family.

Have a noise problem?

Got paid off, bought a $220 beau-ti-ful 335-a-like that would have cost x3 with a Gibson decal. I'm good thanks.

no ones saying they're identical, but I would argue a $600 korean guitar with a $50 luthier setup gets you close enough to where the difference in cost is simply not worth it, even accounting for better pups, that's another $260 or so, and you're still well below the range of a boutique guitar, but with boutique guitar performance.

adjust the truss rod homey

>he thinks the guitar affects your overall tone more than 10%

id make fun of your cable management, but considering every single component in my PC just fried, I think I'll just commit suicide instead

>adjust the truss rod homey
It's a one-way rod

No i just want more gain. And its a mesa boogie dual rec copy so it would be cool to have

Get a job anyways
$600 korean guitar with $300 pair of pickups wipes the floor with any nigson

Buy a new neck. Your stupid ass nephew wont know the difference anyways so just get chinkshit.

The question here is if all of those specs are worth the notable price difference. If I'm paying for American labor, I'd rather pay an American luthier that can personally adjust my guitar to reach its full potential. And believe me, I've done it, and I've seen those $500 Chinese manufactured archtops end up feeling and sounding pretty close to the current top of the line |||non-vintage||| models, just with a set of quality strings and a couple days of expert craftsmanship. So yeah, call me poor or whatever but sound and tone don't lie.

What are the better low end fender strats

Any one of us can croak at any given moment. Not saying youre not healthy just that death has no schedule.

What are you selling?

And?

>fingers still hurt from yesterday's practice

FUCK. I just want to practice all day but I physically can't....

Just buy a new neck while youre fiddling with that one. Or dont i dont care.

Why though? If I fix that one, then I have another extra neck lying around.

Smoke some weed.

Exactly. Now you can make a partscaster for your self.

>Smoke some weed

No one told you to trip balls. Its a natural antihistamine

nobody in here actually plays, we just call each other poor

maybe, just maybe. I'd post some shit, but my entire PC just completely nuked itself. My PSU crapped out, and took every single component with it. So now I'm down 600, with 200 in the bank, and 400 dollar rent due next week, with the summer semester starting tomorrow and I haven't bought books yet, because of the whole 200 burgers thing. So I'm thinkin suicide might be the right move desu.

Dont know what qft is but please delete your image. Any sound clips?

Ok?
vocaroo.com/i/s0hk5gBY3N2Y

what amp? Pretty crunchy tone desu i like it, sounds like a 6505 or clone/sim thereof? Or am I totally off. Sounds too dark to be a marshall, but not trebly enough to be a dual rec/trirec clone.

>quoted for truth
Please lurk more.
Sure, here's a old af sucky demo when I got a Boss RV-500: youtu.be/ickvCZ6tW_A

>lurk moar
Ive been on this shit site too long. My bad for not being up to date with zoomer shit.
What the fuck even is this video?

Its either my jcm900 or my joyo bantamp zombie(dual rec copy). I dont remember but im inclined to say its the joyo. My jcm900 can be a dark or bright amp depending on treble and presence settings

sound breddy good desu, I like it. a jcm800 is on my shortlist of amps to buy, very few high gain amps have enough channels and settings minus shit that's way out of my price range.

what do you think of this? if you can guess how I got this tone I would be extremely surprised, but I'll give a hint, it's ghetto as fuck

vocaroo.com/i/s1Uo0gqcHgRu

Gonna put the stock preamp tubes back in my jcm900 when i get home. It has shuguangs but theyre the new ones. Imma see if the 90s shuguangs sound hotter.

Jcm800 is a very loud amp in case you didnt know. Its hard to get hi gain out of one at low volume
Is it a metal zone?

someone out there makes a brand new guitar for $32k. it's diamond studded.

waiting for the day lil wayne will buy it

yeah, I'm planning on boosting with my tubescreamer. if I ever join a band again thats more interested in making music than smoking weed.

And nope, I would've spent more money on a metalzone lmao, and that would potentially sound good. Atleast, Trap Them and Entombed make them sound good. That's a toneport running through the free, demo version of line6 toneport, which has like, 3 or 4 amps available a couple simulated boxes. sounds pretty good for it is I think

Look up the custom uli roth dean
And it didnt spund bad but the guitar had troubke cutting through the mix.

Yeah it sounded like decent hi gain. The line 6 vetta ii is coveted for its hi gain strangely enough. Sounds like you need bandmates that do 'caine

Cool bait brah. Told you it's garbage already dipshit.
Heard QFT like 2004 - get back inna crib babby.

Used jcm900s have gone up a average of $150 since last year. I wonder why.

But can you smell what the rock is cooking? Literally first time ive seen qft posted. Its probably plebbit shit.

thanks man, the mix got nuked a bit putting it in vocaroo, on my soundcloud the guitars are overpoweringly trebly and sound like shit. through my cars speakers its absolutely awful.

here's some fuckin k pop
vocaroo.com/i/s18RGAEUQHbV

thanks man, honestly I've been surprised by how decent it can sound if it's mixed worth a damn. you can get by for a while with it. I prefer it to using fucking Bias AMP, I used that shit for all of like, 4 months before it ireedemably and irreversibly crashes, on multiple systems, all the fucking time.

Second one sounds cool tho kinda directionless. You the one with the hybrid tele strat right? Sounds like a tele.

thanks man. Yeah I wanted to go back and actually flesh out like, any of it, but now I can't. I wrote and tracked all that in about an hour. Nope I'm the PRS fag from last night, thats just running through podfarm with a fender amp sim and the pick up switch set to the middle. Maybe I got lucky with my pups, but they're dumbass versatile.

Oh and i finally bought an a/b y switch. From some dude that makes them in alabama.
Smokin amp co.

Post prs i dont think i saw it. Yeah prs are pretty versatile. Here in l.a theyre the t.v. stage bands choice.

pirate TH3 and use a simulation of a Randall. dont forget to scoop that shit.

lol fucking newfag day laborer

For what reason? I like the low end my jcm900 gives me. Im a guitar straight into tube amp autist. But i have been using ampire on my pc. I still prefer the sound of a physical amp. I plan on buying a power soak for the jcm900 so i can push the power tubes harder and im going to a/b it with the dual rec clone for tremendous gain and low end boom. Theres no replacement for chest thumping boom of a half/fullstack.

I got btfo by that dude with the $3k hockey stick kek, gotta admit when ya get got. I love this guitar more than any other I've owned so far, and it's mostly due to the neck. Thinner than a fender, not as thin as a wizard, better shape than a schecter, for me it's just right. Also I rough up the finish on the back with a scotch brite pad periodically, making it a satin feel instead of sticky gloss. 100% nwah

fuck yea chink guitars. I did go through a phase where I had a fender semi hollow tele, that I then replaced the neck with a warmoth wizard 2. felt pretty good honestly, but I can't play that kind of neck for hours and hours. I don't even have mongolian hands that shit just cramps me up. got any videos of you playing? I think I have a couple I could post without doxxing myself probably

Whats wrong with that? Dimebag and srv were my inspirations for starting guitar.
Pic rel is what my settings usually look like on my jcm900. On the joyo theres only a gain tone and volume knob.

gain and treble on 10?! My dude you could probably dial that back like just a bit lmao, I don't think dimebag had his shit going that hard desu

Look at the presence knob. My jcm900 is not a bright ice picky amp. And my gain is on 20 buddy take a closer look.

fugggg, koreans are gooks? I thought that was vietnamese. Aren't koreans zipperheads? I've got a video of me playing the first bit of stabwound pretty shittiliy I could probs doctor into being postable.

well goddamn, this one goes to 11 and beyond. not my personal tone taste but if you're going for the dimebag sound you're nailing it desu

is not nasal enough.

It's not a good video because I record and monitor through headphones, so when I take a video of me playing I have to prop my phone up against the headphones and turn them up loud as fuck so you can hear enough of it to hear me fuck up consistently.
