so when people say an amp comes with a usb out, and you can control it through your computer, does the amp still need to be plugged into a wall to do that or can it draw power from the pc?

...It'll need power from the wall. No USB is going to draw that much power from your computer.

>...
are you shy? :3
thanks for the help

You have $600 man, get a tube amp and some decent pedals first.

Tip: it's super irritating to find out that someone plays guitar, so you invite them out to a jam session and they show up with a toy amp and toy effects box. I would rather someone show up with a Squier and a decent amp with two or three effects they really like than a $2500 custom shop guitar with a solid state fart cabinet and some dusty multi-fx.

Or, buy a used 7- or 8-string and a used tube amp.

What’s the deal with all the K-On love? I had no clue it existed until I saw some pedals that had ties to it. All I know is anime grills and guitars. Is there anything I’m missing?

it's shit and Yea Forums is filled with weaboos, don't mind them

Yes it is but if you dont have a cab the headphone outs still work.

who the fuck wants to play metal on headphones? idiot

feels like a bit of a waste to spend as much on a head, instead of just buying an amp

Dilate

Takagi-san isn't KyoAni

The same dumbass that wants a small amp. Not me idiot but maybe that dude. I only use it when its late af. The amp headphone output is controlled by the volume knob. Its loud enough to bmow out your headphones and it actually sounds decent

Get a used cab. Its also a bluetooth receiver so you can play tracks on it and play guitar over it. Where do you live?

kek post wheelbarrow

idk how I feel about the bluetooth, idk if I'd ever use it

Does it need a load to run through headphones?

losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/msg/d/manhattan-beach-2x12-speaker-cabinet/6937608924.html

No. Just plug the headphones in and turn the head on. It doesnt need to have a cab attached. This is not the case for full tube amps though just these hybrids

Seriously though, why didn't you post pics of your roach coach dinner tonight? Out of cash until Friday again?

Orange micros and are the same kind of hybrid I think so how does it stand up against the micro and micro dark if they can all run like that?

wait what? you mean jcope didn't convince you to buy the same cheap garbage he owns? shocking!

I'm having loads of problems with picked bass.


I can't get a comfortable angle. I thought if you hold the pick closer to the bridge pickup, you can play faster because the string doesn't move as much at that part of the bass. Is this a thing? And why does it feel like my wrist is at such a painful angle trying to get there?

Also, when my strumming wrist is in a position that feels natural, the pick seems to not be at a parallel angle with the strings.

I cant say how they compare but every amp in the bantamp.line copies an amp. The newest one is an engl fireball copy. My mesa boogie copy has a shitload of gain. Im personally not a fan of orange amps tone. Do your own youtube research

Pic related is a PRS Private Stock 594 Semi-Hollow Double neck, it costs $27,580. How many of you here can afford it?

Hopefully once all the boomer hobbyists with disposable income die off we'll get gear reviews where the demos take the gear through all its paces, not just "here's the same three SRV licks played on two different channels".

leo got it right the first time. yep.

Pickups

Everything but the guitar, really. But I agree, fender and nigson aren't what they used to be because they keep trying to be what they used to be. How do you build a business on innovation and then stagnate? Nobody at fender said "but we have so many famous guys who already play telecasters, why bother?" when the strat came out.

Won't happen, once the boomers die off we'll be stuck with neosoul licks and tapping in reviews for 40 years

>And here's my demo of the monoprice gainmaster 5, arguable the best tube amp that is still legal to manufacture. this has 30 nutubes in the preamp stage and one EL34 in the power stage. it's also available with a class D power stage that meets oceania regulations for recreational energy consumption, that will run you 40,000 credits less and save you from paying a recreation tax of 1000 credits per hour of use.

bassfag here. i played double bass a few years back but i was never great at it because i was lazy and didn't practice. then i got lazier and completely dropped it to work more on bass guitar. i still have the thing laying around and i've been trying to get back into it.
any advice/resources for trying to go from bass guitar back to upright?

first for based OP

>innovation
It's a fucking pencil you retard.
>innovations in pencil technology
You hear how stupid you sound now? It only does one thing well. Most people only need a sharpened #2 and they're off to the races. Sure, there's one or two autists with a mechanical and 0.5mm lead but for the vast majority of people a regular ol' yellow pencil is all the want or need. You set a creative up with a 50s Strat & a good amp and the sky's the limit.

Pic related, if you can't get it done with one of these then you suck dick at guitar and need to quit.

Shut the fuck up.

you typed all this out and didn't realise you're dumb as shit

you set a creative up with a 50s strat and he'll throw it back at you and ask you for something that doesn't hum and demand a flatter wider fingerboard "like a real guitar instead of this shitty neon-colored toy"

not to mention if you tell him he has to take the fucking neck off to adjust the truss rod, he'll probably snap it in half, say "here's your fucking truss rod" and tell you to give it back to the asshole that thought he made a good guitar

now, you could give the most autistic metalhead into headless carbon fiber reinforced 36 fret necks and broad/flat response low impedance active pickups a les paul and he'd still be happy

I bet they want a "locking tremolo" too. just bend the strings back in tune with your fingers, pussies.

He says in defense of a guitar with three pickups (three too many), three knobs (three too many), a whammy bar (one too many), way too many frets (you only need 19), and some newfangled straight headstock for "tuning stability" and "not breaking when dropped"

Well yeah, if you want to play those low notes and more varied chord voicings without contracting a whole other person to play with you, you do need more strings. Sometimes more frets.

How is this laughable? People have been doing it since the 18th century.

The USA is my country too but it doesn't make the best guitars anymore except for custom shops. Same for cars. The USA doesn't compete with companies like porsche on an industrial scale. Smaller builders can outdo them, but on an industrial scale it just shits out some dated pseudo-americana like the dodge demon.

The American spirit is dead, everyone is playing it safe so even their products are politically correct.

if there's anything cringier than a zoomer pretending to be old, conservative, and wise i'd love to see it

I don't know where to start with this talentless hack. What's wrong with a classic strat? You suck at music if you need that much range and you suck at guitar if you need a locking tremolo.

strat fanboys are mad because they got one-upped by superstrats. imagine having a guitar so bad it spawns an industry based on improving it.

good guitars spawn industries based on making direct copies of them, and then the companies that make those good guitars sue everybody.

Guitars are more complicated than pencils, user. There are still improvements that can be made.

The nylon string classical guitar is peak guitar and electrics have only improved when they got closer to approximating its form

See You want to know how many Watts the speaker is designed to handle. What is the speaker's model name?

peavey envoy

If it's a pre-made combo then you know you're not going to blow anything up.

At that price point, just get a Katana.

actually I might get a peavey vypyr vip 1 used for 80 bucks... It sounds good in videos but a looooot of people complain about it online so I"m not sure... maybe they just dont know how to use the interface

Literally just get a Katana.

show me a good one for roughly 80 bucks? and dont be a fuckin punk and say "get a job" or something dumb please

You were just looking at an Envoy for $300. For $200 you get can a Katana 50W 1x12".

If you really want to spend the price of a decent restaurant meal on an amp, they do a Katan for $80, too:
andertons.co.uk/brands/boss/boss-katana-amps/boss-katana-mini-compact-guitar-amplifier

katanas sound like shit for $200

you can get used tube amps that sound thirty times better for that
>but all the built in effects dude!
don't play with effects retard

or he could just get a job lol

where did this general go so wrong

That's also a good option. None of the amps he has mentioned are good options.

I was looking at a used envoy
katana mini isn't better than a vypyr 1?

Katanas are much better than low-price-point Peaveys. As another user has said, you could also get a used tube amp.

used tube amps are still expensive imo, and they're a bit fragile
you're telling me a katana mini is better than a 80 dollar peavey vypyr?

At $80, you're comparing squishy brown dogshit to hard white dogshit, but yes. Probably best to go to a shop and try everything in that price bracket (there won't be much), then buy the one you like best -- except used and online.

>Expensive
Worth the money.
>Fragile
Take care of your shit. Yes, a tube amp will break if you leave it loose in the back of a van and start larping as initial D. It's a box of glass. Don't do that.

don't be a metalhead. buy a monoprice (only used).

Line 6 Spider and a Boss Metalzone. Best I can do.

why do people talk shit about those amps

Because nobody gets them unless they only have $80 to spend.

So do the Oranges, and most of the lunchbox amps.

sigh
idk why people shit talk the vypyr

You mean the cheap lunchbox amps that sound like solid state shitboxes, since they are

tube tone comes from the poweramp. tube preamps have been accurately modeled anyways.

>sigh, m'lady
Because nobody gets them unless they have only $80 to spend.

cheap doesn't mean bad

The only part of a Fender that's "bad" for metal is the pickups, which is why the dudes who play metal on Strats put humbuckers or EMGs in them. The playing part of them is fine.

I said that people only buy them if they can't afford anything better, at no point did I say that they were bad BECAUSE they were cheap.

you can play metal with single coils and fender amps though? tone is all in the fingers after all

are they bad or not, and if they are then why

>tube tone comes from the poweramp.
Yeah, at 100dbs, sure. Most people who just want a practice amp aren't going to be pushing an amp to stack volumes. It's a $150 headphone amp, it's not designed to mimic a 100 watt head. So you get the 12AX7 preamp gain distortion, which is the same tube the big boy amps use, and thousands of musicians have used to get their tone.

But if you're just being a contrarian to be a contrarian, whatever. There's no point in discussing anything with you, if you're gonna try that hard.

I'm thinking about getting a red panda tensor... Do you think it's worth?

bout tree fiddy

You can, sure, but it won't sound as good. Stock pickups are too thin for modern metal tone. That's why a lot of the popular strat style guitars have both.

They're pretty fucking awful. At your aggressively low price-point, I'd just get an amPlug.

>and why
you're full of shit

I don't know why they're awful, but they are. Are you really surprised by this?

>pretending to be retarded to save face

I'm not the guy expecting an $80 amp to sound good, my dude.

no, you're the guy that fails to explain in what way it even sounds bad in the first place

You asked why it sounded bad, not how it sounded bad.

...

I'm not the guy expecting an $80 amp to sound good, my dude.

So do you want to know how it sounds, or are you still having a hissy fit?

It's called "taking the piss", appropriate when responding to someone who uses eleven exclamation marks in a row.

So would you like to know how it sounds, now that you have finally asked?

i'm not that guy, you just sound like a massive faggot to me.

It sounds like babby's first homemade fuzz pedal run into a piece of shit 10" closed back. And no excuses for the price, they should have gone CMOS.

I thought the distortion is okay for a cheap amp. only the blackstar and maybe roland amps are better but they don't have as many options or nobs. they dont even have a 3 band eq
orange amps are cool too, but I hate how they look

You suck at guitar if you use anything but a JCM800.

Yeah, it's what you expect at that price range. But for a little more, you can get gear that sounds decent, like second-hand tubes or a Katana, and Katanas have massive tweakability.

Do you need a physically loud amp (e.g., for band play), or can you get away with something like an amPlug?

I almost bought an SC20H recently.

maybe I'll just get the katana 50. it does look more intuitive. idk what half of the nobs and shit on the peavey even do
I don't need a loud amp, in fact quieter is better. amplugs seem cool, but I don't like that they're in different versions and I've heard they break really easily

Get a real instructor, you should be proficient in a year or so. If not you're doing it wrong.

No its not

212 dollars each, fucking lol. I bought classic 57s new for 75 each, and they're better than those.

Unlikely

The only people I see shitting on Katanas are people with loads of money and no talent who are desperately trying to make up for it with overpriced guitars and amps.

I like the cheapo Squier/Epiphone amps that come with beginner guitars, and even I don't like the Spider. M series pedals are pretty good though

This entire post is abhorrent and gets worse as you read on

Cool story bro

katana shills are shit munchers.

and inauthentic senpai

$36 its the current bid, cletus.

I've never seen a single good guitarist shit on the Katana, in fact a lot of them use them instead of valve amps on certain gigs. The only people shitting on them are blues lawyers and morons on here who can't play anyways.

what is voltage starved?

Yeah it looks gay anyway.

I went with a full stack instead.

thats no good, you should cop a 240 RG which comes with an all brass floyd rose.

Guitar music (electric)

I agree with , but I like the 2015 best despite the horrendous nut and logo. Loads of good upgrades, the tuners and pickup in particular. He said there's wear on the frets, I'd ask him for pictures of that.

Don't like the look of the DC personally, and I love DCs. The colour would be fine without a pickguard, but that pickguard really makes it look shit to me.

The Special looks pretty good.

Beware though that P90s can be very noisy, especially when your house or venue has bad wiring or dimmer switches.

the DC comes in cherry too, not really too hung up on the color the brown one was just a little cheaper

that has the appeal of being basically brand new

Such technique but sounds like shit, sad!

nobody has any advice for this?

Sometimes you're better off buying secondhand, especially if you're buying from someone who is a musician themselves or just particular about gear. I've lost count of how many guitars I've traded, but I would say 90+% were set up and maintained by their owners a lot better than new guitars in my local store. In fact, the worst guitar I've owned I got brand new.

Not trying to change your mind, but it's a good indicator that the 2015 has been heavily played and upgraded. It must be a good guitar. Bit like how the best Strats were heavily played and look pretty rough, but the worst ones were maybe played once and stuck in a closet for thirty years

Why? I like the sound but why?

Who gives a fuck, where's the melody? Also, his technique isn't really that clean, he makes a ton of mistakes when crossing strings.

google.com/search?q=switching from bass guitar to upright

Aside from that, I can only tell you what I feel is most important in my own experience playing with double bassists. And that's time and intonation, if you are strong in both those areas, taking good solos is just the cherry on top.

and kakagoli pickups too.

Yes buy kakagoli pickups from your local world famous luthier in the favela

>The only people I see shitting on Katanas are people with loads of money and no talent who are desperately trying to make up for it with overpriced guitars and amps.

Just how do you define loads of money?
Do you live in detroit by chance?

Fyi most adults can afford a $1000 guitar and $1000 amp eventually, or immediately after saving up and getting by with an $80 ebay squire and a used fender mustang II ($200 practice amp? save your money and get one for $50). Mostly because you only buy those two things once in your entire life. Someone with loads of money/bad with money buys multiples, and keeps them instead of selling the old ones. Many, many multiples. You know, you look at their rack of guitars, add it all up, and they could have bought a car or maxed out their IRA contributions for a year but instead they collected different shapes of 22 fret HH guitas or different colors of telecasters.

Why wouldn't it? Setting the gain to 0 (which could mean anything, circuit-wise) doesn't suddenly bypass the circuit.

People who are bad with money buy boss katanas instead of cheaper practice amps like the one you mentioned. They all sound the fucking same, the katana just costs more and gets shilled on youtube.

>collected different colors of telecasters
I know this one. Wait, don't tell me...

Katanas are dirt cheap, indestructable and sound great. If I were on a budget, it's what I'd buy.

You don't know what dirt cheap means.

They cost as much as a nice steakhouse dinner for two but sound like a pack of walmart porkchops.

$120 is dirt cheap to me, it's about two hours' work. And they certainly sound better than the analog solid-state options, like Line 6s or Peaveys.

yeah ive bought a good amount of used gear. for a while i was prioritizing buying stuff that was heavily modded

but it is sort of a crap shoot betweem getting a maintained and personalized instrument and getting someones beginner shop project

i think im gonna go for the 2015 though, id wanna put locking tuners on anyway

There's no difference in tone quality between katanas and things like fender champs and old mustangs that can usually be had for cheaper.

And beginners shouldn't play with effects. It just enables mindless riffing with bad technique that gets covered up by all the extra mud.

>$120 is dirt cheap to me, it's about two hours' work
job?

They sound a hell of a lot better to me, but each to his own.
>mindless riffing etc
I would tend to agree, I'm generally a straight-into-amp kind of guy.

>job?
Yes.

what's your job?

beginners should buy monoprice tube amps

no effects, not enough gain for MEDUL, forces you to take care of it like an adult (fragile), costs almost nothing

Dont sperg sambo

A katana 50 and a champ 40 are like a $20 price difference it's not a giant price gap like you're talking about. I'd agree with the effect part if they use it as a crutch to hide sloppy playing but owning a modeling amp before I upgraded helped me figure out what type of sound I was aiming for before dropping money on pedals I didn't like.

I have no idea what you're on about, but I can tell you the people in my city who shit on them can barely play and try and make up for that with a boutique Strat copy and whatever expensive amp brand is popular this year.

I have expensive guitars, my three best cost 3500 secondhand between them. And I had an expensive amp, it was a 60W Fender based one. The thing didn't sound any better than my Katana, was harder to use, unbelievably heavy and broke twice. Plus the kind of gigs I do are either the kind of gigs where a valve amp won't make a difference, or you don't want to be bringing your best gear. The Katana makes perfect sense.

Katanas have much more volume on tap than practice amps. You can't gig with a practice amp, or at least what I would define as one. I will admit that there isn't much tone coloration like there is with a valve amp. Depending on your style, that's either a good thing or a bad thing. For me it's a good thing.

lying and posting anime is not a job.

True. You can usually tell though, that one looks to me like it was modded pretty well. I would definitely ask for pictures of the frets before you pull the trigger. I forget whether it was a Fralin or a Lollar it had, but both are good.

Correct.

Yes buy good ching chong ding dong very good price tube amp excellent tone. Free ship from Hong Kong.

Picking up my guitar from the shop tomorrow after some tasteful modifications. Will send pics tomorrow

>I can tell you the people in my city who shit on them can barely play
