anyone knows a good amp simulator?
I've used amplitube but it was pretty shitty, I'm just looking for amps effects are not required, it0s just that my amp died and I need something to practice while I repair it or get a new one
>>62445161
guitarix is good but takes a very long time to configure. You swap out tubes and such. It's not very user friendly. I'm surprised you didn't like amplitube, I saw a demo of the orange ad200 mk III bass amp and it was spot on. Maybe you need to work on your configuration.
>>62445012
you missed out
>>62445452
hmm, maybe I could try amplitube again, could you give me some tips to configure?
>>62445584
sorry, I haven't played with amplitude myself, just witnessed good results. On thing I would try is lowering your input level, a lot of times those sims expect a certain range of input and don't do well outside of that. whatever amp you use get a good clean tone first.
Reminder that tone is in the fingers.
>>62445876
BTW lower your input level with something besides your guitar's volume knob.
>>62445933
It's actually based on the PH level of the water that the tree drew from when growing before it became your guitar.

Depends on the guitar sounds. If you feel disgusted by the guitar sounds on Celtic Frost's Monotheist or on Goatsnake's Trampled under Hoof EP, there's no helping you.
But yes, a lot of 80's-90's thrash and death metal have shit tonez
>>62446454
Hey, the Goatsnake tone is actually pretty good, not cringeworthy at all. The Celtic Frost one was okay, just not as good as Goatsnake.
>>62443936
Idk playing noise-rock is pretty easy, maybe try listening to noise? Get drunk with the band and fuck around with cool and interesting sounds idk it's always come pretty naturally for me

As much as Doom/Stoner/Sludge sounds enormous live, I really dislike listening to records in this genre, they feel so empty listening to them just like that. But then again I'm not having a dozen speakers pointed at me sending pure fucking BWOOM in my face.
Also I'd say Gorguts's last album's tone is really interesting. Aside from Dysrythmia or Nero Di Marte, I haven't heard anything along the lines of it. Special mention for the huge stringed interlude.

>>62447360
Wheels on a 410 are also a good idea when you don't want to break your back. My Fender cab has them, you just take them off once it's at its destination.
>>62447194
>push the top cab a little bit
>everything falls down and dies
>>62447360
the problem is that the wheels are on it while it is stacked up.
>>62447408
the cab has divots silly
>>62447432
they actually encourage this shit? take the goddamn wheels off.
>>62447477
have you never been around a half or full stack? its not really uncommon
Got my tax refund and just got paid. I have $1000~ to spend on an electric guitar and amp. Id like something that can be versatile. What should i buy??
Is getting a cabinet a good idea?
>>62447477
>>62447495
All cabs with wheels preinstalled I've seen even have a warning label that says "take off the wheels while in use" or something similar.
>>62447511
well if you want to use a head then yes
>>62447495
bruh my cab has wheels too, I just don't stack it up with them on. You're asking for it.

>>62447511
As in cab + head instead of a combo? Worth it IMO since you can fix/switch out either part without throwing away or replacing the entire thing.
>>62447522
yea, large companies cover their ass like 100x fold from being sued. that is all.
Got a yamaha pacifica 112v and a vox valvetronix AD15VT amp for 60 bucks, good deal?

Going to record jealous guy on the acoustic tomorrow then do the """"solo""" on the electric and mash em up in audacity
I have a china shit guitar which i'm trying to strip down to the wood finish, any easier way to do this than sandpaper? if I wire in some 1970's pickups will it sound like an authentic old guitar?
>>62447495
>>62447522
>>62447536
>>62447561
Considering it takes 30 seconds to take the wheels off you really should take them off the top cabinets.

>>62447559
you can switch out speakers on a combo too...
>>62447536
thats not me but really its no worse than a normal full stack when they are sitting in their cups. not that any full stack is anti prone to tipping
>>62447561
Those labels weren't even about stacking, it just makes sense to take the wheels off of a thing that is supposed to vibrate and transfer said vibrations.
>>62447581
That's literally all I've ever seen, stacked with the wheels still on is new to me.
>>62447255
Well yeah, the downfall of a lot of stoner/sludge stuff is it's boring in terms of composition (some Bands like Boris being the exception).
The guitar sound on that Gorguts album really reminds me of the heavier Opeth (and maybe some Bloodbath stuff too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1wW6yPDqwY

>$1000

Ignoring that, you can get a used AxeFX II for the same price and get triple the DSP power.
>>62447579
Very decent for that price, good learning gear too
>>62447581
>>62447611
so, like why would anyone use fullstacks in this day and era?
>>62447579
use a heat fun to remove the paint. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. Otherwise just sand it until it's rough and paint over it. Yeah more or less your guitar will sound vintage if it's got vintage pickups, but depends on the pickups. Some pickups don't have much character.
>>62447509
A Strat and Blackstar Club or Egnater Rebel 20.
>>62447603
>you can switch out speakers on a combo too.
If the speaker dies you can usually use the amp and connect it to a different cab, yes. And you could also not use the combo amp and just use the speaker that it comes with and connect that to a different head, but in both cases you're carrying around dead weight. I'd also say that, generally speaking, you get the best quality by going for a separate amp and a nice cab vs a combo.
>>62447662
>so, like why would anyone use fullstacks in this day and era?
What do you mean by that? Stage-sound is a thing, and PAs don't replicate that.
>>62447662
What are you talking about?
>>62447627
I was thinking of the other one, firebird or whatever. Used obviously.
>>62447723
>Stage-sound is a thing
not really
stage feel is nice though but a half stack has no issue with that.
>>62447750
I'm asking why someone would bother with a fullstack in 2016. pretty straight forward M8
>>62447509
get a variax guitar. Doesn't get much more versatile than that.
>>62447806
Volume?
>>62447832
what? the thousands of watts the PA puts out are not enough?
>>62447772
Firehawk sounds like shit. Jump to 3m46s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq7YWbN16oM#t=3m46s
>>62447774
>stage feel is nice though but a half stack has no issue with that.
Half stacks and full stacks create a very different feel. It's not uncommon for some people to disconnect the top cabinet because it makes them feel sick (swirling feeling).
>>62447806
A big part of it is image and stage presence, but it's hard to beat the feeling of a wall of amps.
>>62447806
for me, its a great monitor having the full stack. also, there is nothing like cranking a full stack and having your balls shake from it
>>62447806
I have to agree with this. Especially if you're a guitarist. You really don't need more than a 2x12, even if "my drummer plays really hard." I think the reason people get stacks is so that they can get the tone they want with the tube amp they have that relies on volume to control distortion. You should get an amp that sounds good at any volume and don't compete with your goddamn bassist for volume. It's just obnoxious.
Have any of you guys had any experience with Chibsons?
>>62447873
Believe it or not, there are venues that don't have a proper PA setup but are large enough where a half-stack doesn't quite cut it.
>>62447882
>Half stacks and full stacks create a very different feel
not really
>A big part of it is image
sure, but thats dumb.
>>62447882
Dude, a modeling amp having a shit sound available is always the case. Axe fx as well, every modeling amp is capable of sounding like shit, because they're capable of so much. You should pay attention to the good tones you can come up with, not the bad.
>>62447906
Shite, you can do much better for your money
>>62447896
>its a great monitor
so the other band members come through your full stack? thats new
>>62447921
...what
>>62447931
>not really
Yes they do. Full stacks are blasting straight into your head. It creates an enveloping feeling that as I said before, can make some people feel sick.
>sure, but thats dumb.
To you maybe, but stage presence is a large part of live performance.
>>62447962
I own an AxeFX and sure, but the fact that was their demo tone doesn't bode well.
just buy or make empty cabs. Tons of musicians use empty cabs.
>>62448005
>stage presence is a large part of live performance
placebo amps for idiots. maybe try to not be a shit band and have actual stage presence.
>>62448005
>people feel sick.
You know even sunn get their actual volume from a PA right?
>>62448064
>maybe try to not be a shit band and have actual stage presence
Haha, okay.
You're missing a vital part of live performance.

>>62448146
or maybe an orange cab. Hell, maybe I'll make a fake amp with a paper front. Orange amps look sexy.
>>62448169
>what? about a 20% spl feel to like the front row? not really
So people aren't looking at the stage at your shows? You must have an electric stage presence.
>>62448171
bump
>>62448181
very sure. seen them live a few times. they use huge ass festival PA bins on the side of the stage. model Ts are loud but the stupid volume is a massive watt PA system. 70s shit can't do that. why do you think the grateful dead literally had to make a huge wall of speakers to be super loud?
>>62448214
yea man i judge all bands by the cab amount, not their performance or sound or anything...
>>62448243
A Model T peaks at around 180 watts using a quad of 6550s. A half stack 5150 can push 120db+, a Model T can be much louder once boosted like Sunn do.
>>62448258
That's because you're a musician, the guitarist standing at the back with their arms folded. Most people at the show aren't guitarists, live performance and stage presence is a whole package of performance and image.
>>62448171
Is there a tempo change?
>>62448310
went from 4/4 to 6/8 and you didn't notice which is a good thing and means it's fine hopefully
>>62448297
except that they mic their shit and blast it through huge PA bins that they bring and you can literally hear the volume difference if you go stage center up close and notice the volume drop.
as for your other point, yes, you can fool idiots. have fun with your magic show

Sorry that was the Sunn experience you got where you live. When they played here the sound was almost entirely the stage amplifiers since the venues PA was average.
>as for your other point, yes, you can fool idiots. have fun with your magic show
Calling the majority of your fanbase idiots isn't a great way to be successful. You're really failing to understand the basics of performing a show with that attitude.

>Calling the majority of your fanbase idiots isn't a great way to be successful
yea im really bad at being in a guns and roses cover band. also no, sunn was PA.
>>62448324
The 6/8 bit might be what I'm talking about. If anything, just the fact that it seems to slow down is a little jarring, IMHO. It starts off energetic and then seems to lose that feeling and it kind of leaves me wanting. Just my 0.02, anyway.
>>62448500
>>62448447
>Sunn
You guys made me curious so I looked them up, I officially don't understand music anymore.

>>62448541
see them live. its pretty different
>>62448500
>yea im really bad at being in a guns and roses cover band.
I can pretty much guarantee you that the band who that stage was setup for are more successful than you. You should stop projecting so hard.
>also no, sunn was PA
Go read my post again, your reading comprehension is off. There are first grade worksheets available on Google if you're having trouble.
>>62448541

Don't sweat it. It's definitely more of a live sound thing. Give Burning Witch a listen, same tonality/volume deal.

no you were just wrong.
and yes, people like guns and roses cover bands. people also like katy perry. she must have like 10 fullstacks

Why does this even matter?
>>62448601

I get that, I can see the appeal. But still not my cup of tea.
Back to my avant-garde Jazz I suppose.
>>62448618
Sunn isn't death metal.

>no you were just wrong.
>Sunn play the same everywhere in the world!
>How they played here is identical to how they play in your country!
Okay.
>>62448698
It's the same guitarist and tone. It's hard to explain Sunn, but this >>62448570.
>>62448673
>don't need to waste time or money on a setup
That's a good thing. If you get a perfect setup out of the box then you only ever need to touch the truss rod basically.
>>62446177
You never were a real metalhead
>>62448732

I never said that they were. I just said that I used to be into death metal, but I still can't even see the appeal in that music.
>>62448732
>see them live
No thanks.
>>62448732
yea they skipped AUS cuz it was too pricey. but if you really think your 70s muscle car is faster than a post 2000s super car you are very silly even if the muscle car seems cool and more stereo typical
>>62448774
>No thanks
Your loss. It's really a different thing. Being surrounded by that much volume is really a unique experience.
>>62448673
So you can tell if it's shit or not without wasting money and time on a setup

This implies the only measure of a car to you is how fast it goes, seems like you're missing a large part of car enthusiast culture as well.
>>62448874
Not really comparable.
>>62448874
You couldn't have proved me more right.

Nope. Every guitar needs a setup. you can't judge how is the playabilty of a guitar if you don't do setup.

...of hearing that would occur. Which I'm not a huge fan of. I don't want to sound like an ass here, you do you, if you enjoy it then that's great, but I don't need to see a band just because they're loud. And I didn't hear anything in there that would interest me otherwise.
>>62448930
>Nope. Every guitar needs a setup.
>setup by factory or distributor shortly before you buy it
>nope still needs a setup guys
>>62448894
they did skip aus a few years back and yes, in terms of volume i am implying how fast it is compared to volume. that was the whole point. PAs beat model Ts in terms of volume. you are mixing up several conversations. you might trick an idiot into thinking your old car is fast but its just image. don't tell me full stacks are louder and then say its justified by looks
>>62448885
Near-perfect then, which still saves you a bunch of time.
>>62448930
>Every guitar needs a setup
You do realize that the people at the factory can do said setup as well?
>>62448932
>What are ear plugs
Not him, but you're missing the point and underestimating the shear level of volume.
>>62448980
>don't tell me full stacks are louder and then say its justified by looks
>you are mixing up several conversations
No, I think you are. I never said they're louder, I said they feel different. >>62447921 wasn't me.
>they did skip aus a few years back and yes
They've been here three times since 2012, no one is complaining.
>>62448930
are you retarded or just pretending? Guitars come setup out of the box now.
>>62448964
not him but I really feel like people who pay others to set up their guitar or keep it the way it came are missing out. I want to adjust the guitar to the way I like to play, not the other way around. Doing your own setup gives you a different understanding of how you can play your guitar and what its limits are. Plus knowing how to set up your guitar lets you easily replace parts without paying someone.
>>62448668
>>62448633
they look so cool though
>>62449040
pressure level and volume do go together. they really don't feel that different. its not exponential
>>62448964
>shipping a guitar with the strings tensioned
has anyone played a starfire guitar before? I found one of their Teardrop copies for sale but I can't find much about them online
>>62449040
>missing the point and underestimating the shear level of volume.
If the volume is the only point then I really don't need to see it (or hear/feel it) and if I'm really underestimating the volume then I don't even want to risk it with earplugs.
>>62449051
Not every guitar, dumbass.
>>62449089
>not
I can't imagine you'd fuck up the neck from just a few days of shipping
>>62449089
>the setup magically vanishes into thin air if there is no tension in the strings for a few days.
Tension strings, do setup, untension strings for shipping, guitar arrives, tension strings again, great success comrade!
>>62449109
I know it's fretless but having better intonation than that bridge can offer is nice to have. Helps you visualize the fingerboard since you don't play bass guitar by positions.
>>62449085
Straight face full stack is blasting at your whole body, a half stack isn't. It creates a much more enveloped-by-the-sound feel than a half stack.
>>62449119
There's more to it than that, but it's very hard to explain Sunn live. Another anon said it's an experience before, which is probably the only way you can.
>>62449176
That was the only pic I could find, it looks like a really cheap version of this
>>62449252
>i understand physics

enjoy having to slightly adjust your truss rod xD
>>62449252
I'm not part of this conversation, but this whole enjoying volume thing is beyond me. I guess it just "feels intense." I suppose I can understand getting excited over something loud or dramatic happening, kind of like how fireworks are only really entertaining in person as opposed to on tape. But I'm not that kind of person, I don't find fireworks entertaining either.
>>62449252
>it's an experience before, which is probably the only way you can.
And I elect not to because I don't see how it could interest me.
>>62449326
Cabinets ARE extremely directional though.
>>62449345
Oh noes, setup is ruined! Gotta do it all again ;(
>>62449349
It's like NASCAR pretty much.
>>62449372
>I don't see how it could interest me.
How do you know? Would you never skydive, or ride a motorcycle either?
>>62449394
not for the audience standing below the stage
>>62449420
I can see the possible appeal in those and I enjoy similar things. You don't need to try absolutely everything in life, and I am sure that it is an experience I can live without.
>>62449403
So, it's stupid but people enjoy it for some reason?
>>62449595
yes
Any anons care to give their opinions on a progression of scales/modes to work on?
I've been working on major, minor, the pentatonics, blues, just learned about Dorian and harmonic minor
wondering where to go or if I should just focus on using what I already know
post your favorite bass amp
>>62449853

Hallo grandpa, it's 2016.
>>62449853
>>62449853
I have a bloc 80b
I'm I cheating my self/band/bassist by not having a better bass amp?
>>62449937
it's funny, I like the opposite between guitar and bass. I like bright, single coil, solid state, underwound guitar rigs, and I like muddy, smooth, tube, humbucker, hot bass rigs.
>playing bass
>>62449853
you're all fucking noobs
>>62450119
I had that piece of shit, it's terrible. It hisses like hell without having anything connected. Literally unusable at lower volumes.
>>62450058
>tfw my guitar teacher is always telling me to turn my tone up
I like it muddy, old strings, random fret buzzes, a dirty neck
>>62450184
werks on my end ;)
Are you guys just kidding about this whole
>tonewood
thing or do you really believe a guitar's sound isn't the sum of it's parts?
>>62450218
No hissing? Because I sent it back for repair and they told me that's normal so I got a full refund.
>>62450267
If you're playing an electric guitar it hardly matters. It's science.
>>62450301
so a 100 dollar guitar made of home deopt lumber with the same scale length, electronics and pickups will sound the same as a made in usa guitar with a flame maple top and mahogany body?
>>62450267
I don't have the links on me right now. Why don't you try the blind a/b tonewood test?
>>62450277
How much hissing?
>>62450363
If they weigh the same, yes.
>>62450267
>strings are metal
>frets are metal
>bridge is metal
>tuners are metal
tonemetals > tonewoods
>>62450405
Loud enough to be very noticeable with the volume at 2 or 3.
>>62450416
you're a fucking moron. Weight alone doesn't affect guitar resonance. even the SHAPE of the headstock contributes to the sound of a guitar (six in line vs 3x3)
>>62450455
>resonance of the guitar
>somehow affecting magnetic pickups
So many armchair luthiers in this thread. I doubt more than a couple of you have actually built a guitar or worked at a manufacturer.
>>62450455
bait
>>62450505
>doesn't effect string vibrations
>>62450542
Just an educated consumer bb :)
>>62450542
You don't need to be a lurhier to understand simple electronics Senpai.
>>62450505
>>62450578
not taking into account parts of the guitar that inhibit or prohibit string vibrations
not taking into account the vibrations absorbed by the wood also being picked up by the pickups
>>62450455
I could make a guitar out of wet sand and it would have better sustain than a les paul
>>62450595
>>62450616
have you ever actually done tests? have you built a basswood body and a mahogany body with the same specs and compared them?
No?
that would be basic science. Following the scientific method.
theres a reason guitar builders use the woods they do. It started as trial and error but now its an science.
>>62450634
The pickups don't pick up vibrations in the wood. I don't kniw why you would already have picked a side to debate without trying to learn about the subject first. What's the point of taking a stance without the information?
>>62450682

Scientific.

prove the pickups don't also pickup the vibrations in the wood. I'll wait.

Holy fuck that fivehead
>>62450825
Hehehe
learn what magnetic fields are kiddo
>>62450779
Normal, very low noise sound that you expect from any amp. I literally have to put my head right up against the speaker to hear anything, only with the Hartke I had audible hissing while I was playing and when turning it on.
>>62450811
>>62450759

What kind of guitar effects make you guys think of a warm codiene high riddled with depression?

>>62450862
First if all, all three of the people in those videos are professional luthiers. Secondly, you shouldn't take their word for it. They're making arguments not based on their credibility but rather their knowledge and reasoning. I don't think you should dismiss those videos without watching them. I'm sure that watching the videos will make your own arguments more appreciable at least. A lot of aspects of the tonewood debate have been covered, and these videos make a good jumping off point. I didn't bother with much in the way of the physics involved in these videos, rather two of the videos rely on your own hearing, and the other is actually explaining one of the ways that wood DOES affect tone. But you dismissed him along with the others. Don't jump to conclusions! I know the videos are long but they're interesting.

Glad to see that not all faggotry goes unpunished.
Guys I need a good recommendation for flatwounds for my fretless.
Made a pedalboard for about 20 bucks give or take 5. Didn't turn out to bad, next one I'm making with the other half of the wood I bought will be stained. Cleaned up a lot of floor space though.
