So whats the best guitar amp sim vst these days? I'm running amplitube and am mighty tired of it
>>61134231
Try this signal chain. I post it from time to time. Did it up for a friend in about ten minutes because he was sick of how meh Guitar Rig always sounds.
Noisegate (REAPER VST) -60db
Compressor (GuitarRig, but any would do)
TSE808
Noisegate (REAPER VST) -60db
Parametric EQ adding +4db to 120Hz
The Anvil preamp (lead channel)
NadIR running ASEM V30 on left and right in dual mono.
Parametric EQ cutting -2db at 240Hz
High Pass at 60Hz

>>61134231
Why do people do this? You don't NEED a guitar amp VST if you're just gonna DI it.
Honestly I prefer to put some bullshit effects on it myself, but I'm an IDM guy so it does kind of come with the territory.
I personally do have the Waves GTR stuff because it came with the bundle and I use it occasionally, but if you already have a nice distortion pedal or something, you might as well just use that.
>>61134275
Not him, but a lot of guitarist use VSTs so they can practice with headphones and/or at night. It's not about DI recording usually.
Any UK anons ordered from ishibashi? What was the shipping like? Was the guitar in good shape when it arrived? Want to get myself a Japanese Jazzmaster
>>61134287
I'm Australian, but I got >>61134270 that guitar from Ishibashi.
Came quickly, shipping was well priced, didn't pay any import tax either somehow. Guitar was well packed and in perfect condition when I got it.
>>61134275
Some people don't have a guitar amp, like myself.
>>61134293
Got a '62 Jazz Bass from U-Box a couple of months ago.
Checking daily for an Olympic/Vintage white and maple fretboard '57 Strat to pop up
Or maybe a Japanese Ibby RG under JPY90,000
>>61134287
The sales guy will e-mail you the specs and condition of the guitar that you want to buy
>ordered Sunday
>shipped Monday
>arrived Thursday.
10/10 bretty gud would buy again
>>61134383
Does Ishibashi sell used gear anymore? I heard they stopped awhile back.
Have a fender ramparte coming in the mail today, hopefully it sounds better than my frontman 25r, never owned a tube amp.
I'm thinking of trying to switch out the pickups on my agile al-2000, never done it before, guess I need to learn to solder. Maybe switch out the pots also?
>>61134283
>>61134308
But still, you're DIing, right? Like, you DI into the computer somehow and then you have speakers/headphones to play out from? I personally find that I don't need a guitar amp VST if I have a nice, cheap distortion pedal or something (Boss DS-2 is the one I have), and if I want clean tones I just leave it alone. I might use a compressor for volume but that's about it. Unless I'm misunderstanding you guys.
>>61134437
Soldering is easy and fun once you get the hang of it.
And if you're getting a new tube amp, you might as well wait until you get it before messing with your guitar's parts, so you know what it sounds like before and after with the same equipment.
>>61134444
Pedal distortion is worse than VST simulation, and my only pedal is a fuzz face clone with bias presets set for bass guitar.
>>61134444
It's essentially just an alternative to a guitar amplifier. A decent VST setup will sound better than a pedal running straight into a DI box or Interface.
>>61134458
It'll be awhile before I try soldering, need to buy a solder gun/pickups, that's a future project.
>>61134459
>>61134469
I dunno, I've found my BOSS to do a good job, honestly. Then again, it's also true that pedals run the gamut from excellent to terrible, much as VSTs run the gamut from great to horrible.
Then again maybe I just have lower standards, haha.
>>61134287
American here, I don't have any experience with ishibashi, but I just ordered a guitar from ikebe-gakki, and it was a great experience. Very fast shipping, packaging was very secure, and they had good communication throughout the entire process.
>>61134506
Try >>61134270 at some point. It'll shit on running a DS-2 direct.
TSE808 is level 10, drive 0, tone to taste (5-10) and set gain on The Anvil pretty close to 0.
Obviously make sure you're using an interface.
>>61134399
U-Box my nigga
>http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/e/
Keep lurking for a Japanese JM if you really want one. I haven't seen one appear in a long time. I saw a J. Mascis last week and the usual >muh 1960 vintage JM that sells for JPY2,000,000.
They never run out of Jaguars and Mustangs though.
>>61134543
Must just be through their EBay Store then.
I'm not the anon looking for that guitar.
>>61134522
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'll have reverbs and EQs and compressors and whatnot, I just don't use a VST for distortion. Anyway, in my case I'm talking about recording for IDM type stuff, so typically I end up throwing whatever I want to at it, including some fucked up VSTs, not to mention making some automation lanes for some parameters afterwards.
>>61134573
They're almost certainly talking about using it to practice at home. Electronic music production context isn't really relevant here.
On that note, I tend to run some simulation of some kind even when doing a DI. It's easier to track a guitar that way and I can just reamp it anyway later.
>>61134576
I guess that's true. Still, you could just DI with a distortion pedal like I said, and slap EQs/compressors/reverbs on top of that and it'd still work fine. Again, it would depend on the quality of those VSTs too, but it's completely doable.
>>61134609
It would sound worse than free VSTs.
Upgrading my squier /gg/
Should i do it?
>>61134679
Depends if it's a good Squier or a shit Squier.
Don't waste money upgrading a Bullet or Affinity, just buy a better guitar.
>>61134679
Maybe find scratchplates that are made to fit squiers. Sure the ones you selected will fit but the hole alignments will be off
How do I be a good guitarist?
>>61134270
thank you for posting it anon, I'll try it and report back with my results.
>>61134691
It's an affinity from about 12 years ago, i think i got pretty lucky when i bought it since its considerably better than others i played
>>61134695
The alignment is fine there will just be a few holes on the scratchplate with out screws
>>61134739
>It's an affinity from about 12 years ago
That guy again.
Gonna change my mind and say fuck it, why not?
If you'd brought it a year ago then it wouldn't be worth it, but any guitar you've enjoyed for 12 years deserve a little upgrade I guess.
>>61134758
Recommend some fun songs to play for a beginner?
>>61134807
fuck, meant for OP
>>61134807
songs you like
>>61134807
literally google "easy *band you like* guitar chords"
>>61134807
Nirvana songs.
>>61134807
"Who are these semen demons?" by Anonymous
>>61134807
I found "Come Away With Me" by Norah Jones to be a real easy song.
Simple, basic chords, and all you do is pluck a bass string and strum down twice.
>>61134758
Have i been here before?
My thibking is It's still cheaper than buying a new guitar
>>61135088
Sure it's cheaper but it isn't really worth the money. A newer better instrument is a much wiser investment.
Unless it's a situation like this where the guy clearly loves his 12 year old Squier and isn't trying to just tart up a cheap guitar.
Oh dog
I went out and got myself an Epiphone 1956 Les Paul Goldtop
What the fuck do I do now. I don't even know how to play
>>61135562
give it to me
>>61134807
Songs which you like are always the funnest to play.
>>61135562
Calm down that's a good beginner guitar, you did good kid. Now just learn to play
>>61135562
Clearly you need to learn to play it.
Go and do that.
Now.
>>61135562
Write gibson on the headstock, put it into the living room and stare at it imagining how good of a blues player you would be.
anybody have any experience playing a Peavey T-60 guitar or T-40 bass?
So far I've only played guitar on my PC using Amplitube or other VST. I also had a cheap Fender amp once but sold it because the sound was not as good as from my computer.
Am I missing something? Is a tube amp much better and fun to play with?
>>61135604
>>61135625
I'm trying to learn basic chords at the moment and just in general finding my way around the guitar and seeing what the different knobs and dials do.
I was thinking of picking up Rocksmith, seems like it would be a fun way to practice (but not learn the guitar completely of course)
>>61135649
Huh, what?
>>61135678
There is nothing like a good tube amp. but not everyone has 1200+ to spend. I like solid state, and believe there are a lot of quality solid state amps out there. But I'm sure there are people that would disagree with me.
How much do you want to spend?
>>61135695
take your time, anon.
If you've never played an instrument before, you'll be discovering muscles you never knew existed.
Not sure what I think of Rocksmith, but it might be great for you, same with Justinguitar.
Some of the Hal Leonard books are really good - scanned copies can be found in the usual places.
>>61135745
There are sub-$500 tube amplifiers nowadays.
>>61135776
Not him, but which Hal Leonard books would you recommend?
>>61135794
I've yet to find a sub 500$ tube amp that can compete with a drummer and sound decent.
>>61135831
musicman 212?
>>61135794
there are, I don't know why I said that.
>>61135831
I got my DSL50 for the equivalent of $360 US.
>>61135835
>musicman 212
I don't know where you're living if you can find those for less than 500$
>>61135853
I'm talking mostly about buying new. The used market's so fucked where I live you're not getting a marshall head for less than ~600€ if you're lucky.
>>61135866
>I don't know where you're living if you can find those for less than 500$
craigslist
i've seen several for ~500
>>61135873
You should have bought them and sold it in europe then, they're like 1500€ used and 1800€ new.
>>61135896
wowzers
shipping would probably be a couple hundred though
also all the ones I've seen are the 70's models, they can be 100-150 more expensive if they're pristine
>>61135776
I used to play the piano way back when, and a bit of guitar during the music lessons in school, but that was like 10 years ago.
Some stuff is familiar, but not that much, it's fun just seeing how much this thing can do.
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/mqM3LUq.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
>>61134444
A distortion pedal doesn't do amp and speaker modelling.
Anyway, I got a question for you guys. I'm running my guitar into my iPad (running PositiveGrid Bias) with an iRig 2 interface, and when I load most gainy amps from the tone-cloud, I get an extremely high pitched ringing/squealing sound that doesn't even go away when I turn the volume knob completely down on my guitar most of the time.
pls halp
PS. I'm running the sound out from the iRig 2 to a DI box that sends a Low Z signal to the mic input on my PC and I turned up the playback volume on the microphone signal so I can monitor my sound through my computer speakers. Is this a retarded, ass backwards way of doing things? How SHOULD I set this up so I can monitor through my computer speakers?
Anyone ever play a ZT lunchbox ? I just bought one and don't know what to expect.
Hey guys I got lots of vaseline on my bass guitar, and now it's getting too slippery to hold. How do I clean it???
>>61135972
why did you put vaseline on your bass?
>>61135972
just stick it up your ass man its too late
>>61135994
This.
>>61134215
First layer of topcoat on. Pickguard on the way, shit already prewired. Need to drill out for the Tune-O-Matic bridge still, but it's getting near the end of this project.
>>61135972
a bass guitar isn't a dildo anon, stop doing that
>>61136154
looks really nice
love the binding I wish the neck was bound too
>>61135972
dry paper towels then use dish soap
I've never cleaned Vaseline off of a guitar before so if it fucks up the finish or something don't blame me
>>61136154
looks nice, but just a warning that rustoleum clear takes forever to dry (as in basically never)
I had to refinish a guitar when I used that stuff, it was still getting indentations from leaving it on a stand after about a year.
If you're going to use spray cans I would use Minwax Lacquer if you can get it. Really nice nitro finish.
>>61136321
I did use minwax, I just don't clean off my desk, that's there from when I repainted some lawn chairs, lol
Good post though, proper info for other famfam
>>61136336
good,should turn out nicely then. Yeah that rustoleum stuff is really not good for high detailed work.
I like that shade of sunburst you chose, reminds me of some old gibsons that had a lot of black around the edge. Are you going for standard Jazzmaster electronics?
>>61136154
>>61136154
Dude that looks beautiful, keep us updated
Guy that bought the Les Paul here with a question about amps and sound.
My amp seems to have only two settings. Clean, which means basically no sounds produced by the amp, and "Modern", which distorts it quite a lot.
It is possible to download presets and shit into the amp, so should I do that? Or should I fiddle around with the knobs on my guitar and amp and try to figure it out that way?
Oh, it's a Yamaha TRH5 I think
>>61136386
Naw, this is my metalmaster. Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient. Gonna hardtail the bridge and use all black hardware.
The headstock is reversed, because achieve your dreams.
![maxresdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/OYukssM.jpg "maxresdefault[1].jpg")
>>61135952
pls
I beg you
>>61136404
Turn volume up on clean. Turn gain/drive down on modern.
>>61136404
>Clean, which means basically no sounds produced by the amp
That's stupid, different amps have different clean sounds.
>>61136678
I must have messed up some setting, but even on full volume on both the guitar and amp it produces only minimal sound, might as well not use the amp on that setting.
>>61136654
Thanks, I'll try that out and see if it helps
Me and a producer friend will be making a Funky track next week, I want the main guitar riff to be kind of similar to the whitest boy alive - 1517, any advice on these types of chord progressions? Really, I don't know what I'm asking from you just if anyone has experience with making that sort of song and can offer some advice, it'd be cool.
>>61136696
Did you turn up the master and gain knobs?
If you did and still no sound your amp is probably broken
>>61136729
Turning up the master knob helped, cheers
![Chord-CA-min7[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/DNx6Pjw.gif "Chord-CA-min7[1].gif")
>>61136705
Sounds like it starts on a minor 7th chord and descends diatonically. Just a guess, I don't have my guitar with me to dick around and try to figure it out. Just practice your 7th chords and check out songs like "Treasure" by Bruno Mars and "Long Train Running" by the Doobie Bros. Use a compressor to get the kind of clean guitar tone you want. Practice using syncopation and inserting rests to break up the rhythm across the measure.
>>61135952
Ampkit is better imho famifam.
Try it if you can.
These metal strings are fucking my fingers up, but this is fun.
Thanks to the people that have helped me out in this thread, I'll make you proud
Is economy picking best or is strict alternate picking the way to go?
>>61136828
Thank you!
>>61136955
Economy.
>>61136955
Whatever works.
Can someone help me find what the chord is at the end of 0:11 till 0:15 of this first tides of man song?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmE8rnHtAiM
>>61136955
Practice both and add in hybrid picking
I've been thinking about buying a guitar for a while now and I've weeded the options down to a tele, jag and mustang. What does /gg/ think? Mainly leaning towards the mustang. I've played bass before, but have very little experience with guitars.
>>61136955
Economy picking takes out a part of the pick attack, so it will sound a bit smoother compared to alternate.
>>61137205
If you're used to bass, a mustang is going to feel weird since it has a short scale, even by guitar standards.
>>61136955
They're each suitable for playing different things.
>>61136955
strict alternate
economy picking isn't worth the practice tbqh
>>61137357
Pure alternate picking is something you have to practice, economy just comes natural.
>>61137378
not to me tbqh
>>61137080
idk, it sounds like they play an open A and then a G major with a B on top or something. Not really a chord, since it's arpeggiated. The notes in order seem to be:
A
B
G major triad
B
>>61136955
Economy picking is for niggers
Economy will give the most speed

>Buzzing on all frets
>Loosen truss rod
>Readjust action
>More buzzing than before
This Strat is killing me
>>61137577
Did you, i don't know, try looking at where it's buzzing before doing anything?
>>61137587
There was buzzing on all the frets so I figured the neck needed relief
>>61137460
https://youtu.be/EBXHH_8QxsU
>>61137608
>Buzzing on all the frets
Is this even possible?
>>61137650
Maybe there's no nut and the saddles are set really low.
>>61135994
>he puts his bass in his ass without using vaseline
how does your ass endures that?
>>61137658
If it's not a chink knock off guitar the nut shouldn't affect the action much.
>>61137650
>>61137676
Bass size buzzes and treble size frets out and sounds like ass
I have all the strings at 4/64 and I'm measuring .010" like Fender recommends but it I think it sounds too much like shit to right
>>61137650
if the saddles are as low as they can be perhaps
>>61137676
what if it has a height adjustable nut?
>>61137787
Might as well make a fret 0 nut and save the trouble.
>>61137787
Nope
>>61135745
Look for an earlier Crate Tube amp like the Classic, turbo valve or blue voodoo
It's a great starting tube amp
i have a TV6212 and even though it's not as clean as a Twin Reverb, the cleans are very thick and warm. Awesome amp
why is my low E so quiet and high E so loud
>>61137900
electric? pickup height?
>>61137839
Take a picture of the entire guitar from a side view
>>61137900
This: >>61137907
Also maybe your amp is a bit on the trebly side of things. Compensate with EQ.

just how hard do you have to press to stop string from buzzing
i'm really amazed
it makes even simple stuff like smoke on the water intro pain for me because it's too hard for me to keep pressing strings with enough pressure
>>61138600
Maybe its your fretboard. Readjust the string action.
>>61138600
Maybe your action is too high.
>>61138403
Good taste.
How do you even open the battery slot cover? Shit says "click here", the symbols says to pull back and yet I haven't been able to open it either way. I'm scared of breaking it.
Do I need some kind of software for running my sound through my amp into my computer so that I can listen to other shit while messing around with my guitar?
I've already got it connected via USB so that I can modify the settings and so on, but I can't make it play the sounds of the guitar in my headphones without connecting the headphones directly to the amp.

Buy anything else. A 50 dollar Yamaha will sound better than anything Dean will ever produce. I could span a string over my own nipples and it would sound better than Dean.

>>61139501
maybe his goal is to sound bad?
>>61138454
They have a row of magnets more. The wang of the string is picked up in a larger field. Depends where the third magnet row is. The closer to the neck the more mellow and bassier the sound. The closer to the bridge, the more the high frequencies come through.
>>61139562
That would make sense then. I take everything back.

So impressionable people think they are worth a bit more than a used baby wipe.
Furthermore, they have custom built guitars. Worth several K. Any blueprint series by Dean is horseshit. Sorry bub, you play a shit guitar. Sell it and with the few bucks you get from that get a knife and cut your fingers off. Or save for an actual guitar man.
I'm being purposefully mean right now, but you could really do a lot better.

>Is a tube amp much better and fun to play with?
yes, but they're expensive.
The most worthwhile money I ever spent on my playing was getting an old Silverface Fender Champ as an upgrade from a Peavey practice amp. The difference in tone was night and day. All of a sudden I liked how I sounded, my distortion pedals became much smoother sounding, and the cleans...well, they're Fender cleans, but at living room levels. It made me a tube amp devotee for the next 20 years. Even now I only really like SS stuff for bass, where the super-fast response is essential and clean power is the name of the game.
But again-price. At the time those Champs were like $175, so it made more sense then than now, when they're going for $600.
But you can get good tube amps for less than that price too-the Fender Blues Jr only retails for $400 and is a fantastic sounding amp.

So raise each string's saddles until none of your frets buzz, retubing along the way as needed.
This isn't hard.
Chances are your saddles are set too low and you need to raise them up.
>>61139923
Looks way better than most Jacksons. The neck is probably very nice.

Pick one.
Those Crates were literally the worst, cheapest built, worst sounding tube shit on the market when they came out. They weren't built well, don't last and are a fucking nightmare to get fixed.
Maybe they're useful for something if you need that classic "mid-90s poorfag metalhead with shitty gear" tone, but honestly that's not really something people seek out.
>>61139923
beautiful.
>>61137900
Because one side of the pickup is much closer to the strings than the other.
Turn the screws on the sides of the pickups so that all of your strings are in balance volume-wise.
>>61140082
Maybe a blue voodoo(which i don't own), but i have a Turbo Valve and it sounds amazing. It's not for metal at all as the overdrive is very bluesy. To each his own i guess

That's a retarded exaggeration,sure the distortion channel sounds buzzy and thin but the clean channel is a perfectly usable clean tube tone.
Recently inherited a 4string bass guitar. Any bassists recommend a good place to start learning to use it?
>>61140404
1. Listen to a song
2. Learn the root note
3. Play it over and over
After an hour or two you'll be good enough to join a band

I'm shit at bass, but I suggest Scott's Bass Lessons.

I like alternate picking mainly because it gives me less to think about in terms of right hand movement. No matter where I go, it's consistently up down up down. But there's always a time and place where one technique is more useful than another so just experiment.

You can figure it out for yourself if you know the names of each note and their interval relationships.
I think learning a bit of piano helps because piano is kinda the Rosetta Stone of instruments for musicians.
Is masturbating bad for my fretting hand?
Some years ago I read about some guitarist saying that masturbating helps his strumming technique, but what if I masturbate with the other hand?
>>61141161
I think it will only help you improve fret hand dexterity. Try brushing your teeth using your fret hand too.

No, all Crate build quality is absolute shit.
Some companies compete on price by having low overhead, others by low labor costs. SLM-era crate competed in the marketplace by using the absolute cheapest components they could find. As a result, the sound and reliability of those amps are very hampered.
It is not uncommon to hear of Crate amps failing due to circuit boards warping from the heat generated by the tubes, or traces popping off, or pot shafts snapping off. And the construction is pure particle board, which starts disintegrating the moment it gets water splashed on it.
>>61141252
>which starts disintegrating the moment it gets water splashed on it.
just like americans homes
>>61140186
>>61141252
Yeah, they don't call them Blue DooDoos for nothing. I used to buy Crate in high school because I was broke and cheap (still have a 1x12 and a 2x12 in my basement doing nothing), but I'd never buy one today.
>>61141252
Well should i cut my losses then and take it back? Is a Peavey Classic series or Johnson millennium any better? cause those are the three amps i had to choose from in my price range.
Fender Classic player Jazzmaster or Telecaster?

Is it bad? I've heard about it, but haven't seen a comparison between the stock and mastery bridge.
>>61141710
>>61141741
>>61141845
Mastery if you want to spend the money, but a regular, US/Mexican Mustang bridge will be more than adequate. And I think Staytrem falls somewhere in the middle price-wise.
>inb4 keep JM bridge and bump string gauge up
>>61141845
If you're a ham-fisted oaf and/or really bad at setting up guitars, you might have problems with knocking the strings off the saddles on a regular JM bridge. This doesn't usually happen on a Mastery, but they're expensive and they alter the tone.
The Classic Player JM doesn't have this problem though, as it has a tune-o-matic style bridge, and the trem is closer to the bridge to increase the break angle.
Or just set up the guitar correctly.
Want to get into guitar, poor fag in poor fag place, what's the cheapest still decent guitar I can get guys?
>>61140565
They were all once poorfags with dreams of making it big and living like their heroes too.
Plus for people like Slash and the Alternative guitar heroes, you can't forget that they grew up in a time when their guitars of choice were WAY out of fashion and could be found really cheap. That matters a lot more than you know too.
>>61142219
Get something from the Squier Affinity series
or Le Epiphone Les Paul Special II if you want to play heavier stuff
Cheap Yamaha acoustics are also decent

Helps a lot with proper vibrato technique, IME.
Just don't do it too much, cause carpal tunnel's a bitch.
On a related note, if you ever wondered why all those shitty metal and punk bands were always able to play all downstrokes at lightning speed but nothing else, that's your answer too. Not having any girls around helped them develop their form.
>>61141359
Peavey Classic is a much better (and better built) amp.
Get that.
>>61140318
Nah, F.M.I.C. has dissolved the joint-venture in lieu of a more direct, hands-on approach to Japanese manufacturing and distribution.
>>61141359
Shit or not, you could get some tasty sounds out of the older 60 watt (could be 50, don't remember) voodoos. I've serviced a Crate Vintage Club 30 that was also a great amp. These would be really comparable to the Classic 30s. I'd give the Peavey a slight edge across the board.
>>61142671
I hope they still release cool/weird finishes and unusual stuff like semi hollow JMs, Strats, J Bass and Aerodyne Teles just like the good ol MIJs

The technology wasn't there at a decent price before.
It used to be that stuff was exclusively the realm of rack effects, but it's only recently that it's is able to be fit into a stomp box, powered by a 9v battery and sold at a reasonable price.
