I love that Epi. Something about them blondes man. What kind of amp do you play out of?
Christian Turner
This is actually a really shred Japanese marketing campaign. When the nips have an overstock of garbage nobody will buy they start buying commercial spots in anime shows to get it off the shelves. After K-on they realized they couldn't keep the instruments the girls on that show were playing in stock and bingo! anime advertising musical instruments was born. The last ten years it's gone from shows like K-on and Beck to shows like Lucky Star where they place shelf warmers to get some inventory gone.

If were lucky he'll get pozzed by a tranny. Sooner than later. All he is is a shitstain reminder of how much of a financial drain he is on his family. His dad cant even work because hes dying so sams mom has to work to support everyone. And sam doesnt even contribute to the household he just spends his money on ill fitting chinese parts for his excuses of instruments.
Brayden Scott
It's a really dope little amp, but I feel like I don't take full advantage of it. It has three settings: one sounds bright and clean like a Fender, one is really fuzzy like a Marshall, and one completely bypasses the tone stack. I pretty much only use the Fender setting because I like playing mostly clean with a bit of grit.
The thing I really like about this collection is it succinctly covers all the bases for electric (singles and humbuckers), acoustic and bass (precision and jazz).

Looking for an amp that sounds good at low volumes to use with my authentic gibson les paul. Currently i have a laney tube amp but it sounds like shit at reasonable volumes. I live in a condo so i'm kind of limited. How are the Katana's? I really want a tube amp though...
Anthony Nelson
Get a joyo bantamp. Theres different ones
Chase Evans
I have no idea wtf a Condor is, so I can say if it's shit or not and you should have posted a straight pic since the only two things that really matter in a LP knock-off is the shape of the headstock and horn.
That said, assuming the horn isn't gay, it looks to be a decent lawsuit les paul judging by the shape of the headstock. Agile is still the king of cheap LP knock-offs, currently, though. Even though they raised their prices and fucked with the horn to get Gibson off their dick. You can still find their earlier 'lawsuit' models from time to time used.
Jace Morales

Eli Fisher
Sam, you need to learn to make better extrapolations with the data you've been given.
For instance, notice how his bed is up against the wall? This isn't the way adults with partners sleep. This almost certainly means a few things. He's a short list: >he always sleeps alone (no wife or girlfriend) >he sleeps in a very small room (probably still lives in a bedroom in mothers house) And last but not least >it's likely the bed is up against the wall to save space because there's another bed in the room indicating he's sleeping with another person in the room who's *not* female (most likely a younger brother or worse yet, a roommate)
Now look at this pic. Three couches? He probably lives with 20 other Mexicans in one house! And they all sleep in the same room together at night!
That's an impressively niche recommendation. I'll take a look.

Man your mommy issues are really hurting you today aren't they?
Blake Nguyen
I'm bored, so I just poked around Google about them. Condor is a Brazilian company that is selling $400 LP knock offs. You can tell who their market is, because their biggest selling point in their advertising is "12X" - or monthly payments. They're basically cheapo Brazilian Epiphones. I would say they're probably about the same as Chibsons. They might even BE Chibsons, because the Chinese shops that crank these LPs out will put any logo you want on them. (The irony would be getting mahogany guitars made in china, living in a country where it's harvested)
Half of condor's website is broken, so that tells you how good a company they are, lol.
Jordan Robinson

Mine is a 3 piece Asian mahogany. Yes it's a decent Chibson, epiphone standard tier, with a passable body shape, horn and curvy top. I upgraded everything but the stock ceramic pickups were decent and I don't ever plan on replacing the stock Grover tuners. I guess chinese wood is way cheaper. I have a handmade PJ bass with Brazilian rosewood. The Lemon Drop which is Condor's best Chibson is made of real mahogany, great guitars.
Nathaniel Cooper
Nyato wood. Dont fucking lie about your shitplank. What brazilian rosewood? You said jacaranda. Larp confirmed
William Johnson
A few months ago i fell for the meme and got a 2008 LP standard tradtitional. Hate to say it but i really like it. So much that i got an SG a few days ago. Something about the shorter scale length feels really nice with 11-50 strings.
Bentley Ortiz
I listened to the song. The tab is accurate, although you only play the first two notes the first time around. JUst listen to it, it's not very hard.
Jeremiah Gray
Actually, i do. Now, how does it feel to be proven wrong?
Agile is probably the best LP knock-off currently available, esp. if you dont want to order direct from overseas. Otherwise, buy used, but there are faggots that actually collect knock-offs specifically, like lawsuit Ibanez LP's and Tokai so even they are over-priced.
>Actually, i do. Show us these "lawsuits" idiot. They don't exist
Alexander Walker
Thick strings and a low setup is objectively superior.
Cameron Adams
Have seen him play alongside Warren Haynes; Haynes embarrassed him. Then again, Haynes will do that to most people in a rock setting. He wouldn't be able to keep up with Herring in a jazz setting.
Connor Bailey
Anyone know what these pedals do? I know the white one is a tuner and it sounds like the orange one makes some wobbly Star Trek sounds, but everything else just kinda sounds the same to me? And that big one on the left is just a big on/of switch for the whole chain, right?
Not Sam but it was nice of you to put all of that effort into a post that was aimed at the wrong person that I didn't even read. Maybe spend more time practicing guitar than making shitty posts on /gg/. We will all be more thankful for it.
Connor Brown
Vox AC4 or a used AC4TV You can switch this to .1 watt, they are excellent tube driven practice amps.
Juan Reyes
It literally says on the pedals. Far left is a wah. Listen to the into of voodoo child if you want to know what it sounds like. Holy grail is a reverb. Fuzz is a fuzz (distortion), chorus is a chorus (toss it in the garbage). Carbon copy is a (good) delay.
Ian Turner
try them and find out
Carter Jenkins
>what's a figure of speech? Autism checks out. lol Gibson sued the distributors of the jap knock-offs in the late 70's, but it's generally understood by non-autismals to be a figure of speech, you bicycle.
Jaxon King
Thanks, i will!
Dylan Bennett
Thanks!
Adam Williams
Fucking retard. Wmic is the one making the guitars not agile. Lawsuit era condor is some funny shit to make up.
The big black one is probably a wah, hard to say. It makes cheesy sex soundtrack noises. The Holy Grail is a reverb. Makes it sound like you're playing in a big church. The silver Fuzz is a fuzz. It's like a more aggressive form of distortion. FUZZ IS ALL YOU NEED. The white Chromatic Tuner is a guitar tuner that doubles as an on/off switch. The Super Chorus is a chorus. It makes your guitar sound a bit like it's underwater. The Phase 90 is a phaser. It makes your guitar sound spacey and trippy. The grey-black Carbon Copy is a delay. This makes everything you play echo a few times after you play it.
Put the names of these pedals into YouTube to see what they sound like. Also... try using them.
Isaiah Foster
>Lawsuit era condor is some funny shit to make up. Then why did you just make it up? I never said that.
nah.
Ian Ross

Samuel White
Listen numbnuts, there is a difference between a "lawsuit" les paul and "lawsuit era". The lawsuit era generally refers to the late 70's, specifically the Ibanez LP before they _literally_ got sued by Gibson. Any "lawsuit" les paul currently is any LP that is perceived to walk the line close enough to where they _could_ be threatened by Gibson, regardless if they actually were or not. Such as the Agile's before they cucked out and changed the horn.

omg look at this response. Dumb, rite guise?
he can't even quote correctly anymore, he's so buttblated. And yet i'm the "newfag".
"lawsuit" with re: Fender is a whole different beast. Generally, they only ride your ass about the headstock and even then, they're less obsessive about their designs than Gibson... considering you can basically order a Fender headstock from licensed 3rd parties online. But, i acknowledge your attempt at sarcasm.
Bentley Allen

Again, Fenders are almost never referred to as "lawsuit". It's almost always in reference to Gibsons. And again, I acknowledge your attempt at mocking, despite the abject failure since you merely reveal you have no idea what you're actually mocking.
I was pointing out the guys a retard. And also apparently poor Lmfao what a fucking peasant.

Put it before gain to control where in the frequency range the clipping occurs - around 1KHz is particularly pleasant, a bit lower for the classic 'grind'. Put it AFTER gain to function as a normal EQ, like on your amp.

>being this new Have you even seen Sammy's dick yet?
Well it's a lawsuit guitar if the company got sued. BUT! It's also a lawsuit guitar if the company DIDN'T get sued so... yeah. Does that answer your question?
Is that the frusciante guitar gear pic stealer? I haven’t been here since, like 2014/2015
Nicholas Collins
Rule of thumb is that pedals go from right to left. Try cutting out load of bass and low mids (say everything below 500Hz) BEFORE the fuzz, then cranking presence and upper mids after it.
I don't know anything about Siamese Dream tone, I'm afraid, but this will make your fuzz more audible.
Ethan Gutierrez
yeah in the previous. Didn't know it was a thing. Somehow, it fits what you faggots got going here. It's a pretty cozy general. At least, in kind of a gay, ignorant sort of way. But the belligerence and autism checks out, and of course I respect that.

is that really a Condor. Finally. Yup, that's a pretty lawsuit horn, to be honest. The early Agiles looked like that before they changed them.

I have a lawsuit guitar too. Ibanez VBT-700. was meant to be a signature series guitar for Sam totman of dragonforce. Looked really cool but too similar to another guitar so Ibanez was sued and the guitar only got like less than a years run on making them. Rare, but not too expensive either. I got mine for $400+case for free. It was originally 450 and the case was 100 but my dad called the owner and Jew haggled the fuck out of her. Greatest birthday gift ever.

I know, but strandbergs are horribly overpriced guitars
You would have to be a retard to buy one especially since USA production was nixed by strand(((berg))) and they refused to formally export the Boden J lines. If you're going to spend that much on a guitar, kiesel is right here in the US, and they're not as crooked as strandbergstein.
Stick to shilling ESPs, they're actually good, and they actually make their higher end guitars in the US.
