Repost from last thread:
Does anyone have experience with the Dirty Hesher pickups? I'm thinking about putting them in my semi hollow, but I want to make sure that they'd be okay for the sludge/stoner sound I'm going for. I figure since Pike helped make them, they are, but I just want to make sure.
>>64219752
>I bet you even go to parties, weeb
Only if my weeb friends and or drugs are there, im susbstance abusing trash desu senpai.
first for anime
R8 my setup.
Just got the pitchblack today, it's great. Glad I returned that shitty TC polytune clip.
Thinking about getting rid of the bassman. Only paid $300 for it so I could probably profit a little.
Does Fender still produce an American '72 Custom Tele or is the Mexican one a good option?
The HT fuse blew in my Orange TH30 today. Ordered some new fuses, but if it blows another one, it's time to change the output tubes, right? Also, who would you guys say is making the best EL84s today?
>>64219886
Just make sure you get a model that has a six saddle bridge. A lot of those reissues have shitty 3 saddle bridges.
>>64219922
Mesa, JJ, and Ruby in that order. All 3 brands are good though.
If it keeps throwing fuses it could be a multitude of problems. It probably isn't the tubes, in fact I would be very surprised if it was the tubes.
Call Orange if under warranty, if not pay a local tech $60-100 to fix it.
Korg Pitchblack Mini or TC Polytune 2 mini?
Which one allows me to tune to any note on any string? Like D# on the E and whatever else on the rest.
Does anyone here use software to record, mix, and screw around with effects? I've been looking into Guitar Rig pro 5 to toy around with but im a bit hesitant because of the price and not too sure if/how well it would work with a Rocksmith USB cable. I've downloaded the demo/free version and currently trying to figure out how to set it up.
Any recommendation on a guitar that has nice muted sounds and a funky tone to use in production with Live?
>>64220193
get a strat.
>>64219922
It's probably a tube.
Even if not, it'll be an easy fix for anyone who understands a power supply.
>>64219993
Unless you absolutely NEED the polytune function get the pitchblack unless they're the same price.
What do you mean any note on any string? If you play any note on the neck it'll register on any tuner.
>>64219935
Thanks.
Also is the stock humbucker on those any good?
>>64220268
Which model specifically?
Each pretty in their own way.
>>64220342
Dat Pelham blue Dat SG-X
fucking sexy
>>64220317
The Mex
>>64220245
Thanks.
Like if I play a D#, will it appear D#? Or just show D or E and tell me I'm sharp/flat?
>>64219741
Need bigger tubes m8.
>>64219781
They're not bad but I preferred the Nitro Hemis and basically any BKP model over them.
>>64219865
>Pitchblack
They're fantastic. I've had mine for about five or six years now, looks brand new and works perfectly still.
I went into a store got every tuner out and picked the one that could tune a 5 string bass. If it can tune that it can tune anything.
>>64219922
>Also, who would you guys say is making the best EL84s today?
JJ for current production.
>>64219974
>Mesa
Are rebrands of other brands depending on the tube. 'Mesa' EL84s are EHX.
>>64219993
Pitchblack.
>>64220176
I have a signal chain for high gain I post here from time to time if you're interested?
Just make sure you don't use speaker emulation and instead use something like LeCab or NadIR with a decent Impulse Response.
>>64220241
Yeah, doing a little more reading, it looks like that fuse is specifically there to go when the power tubes begin to fail, to prevent any damage to the output transformer. I've had the amp for around 6 months now, I push it hard often so I'm guessing it's just a tube going. Hopefully.
>>64220404
>Pelham blue
Close, but no cigar.
>>64220510
What? Is it that flip flop blue/teal color change shit?
>>64220450
My regular pitchblack will display it as an actual sharp note yes. Doesn't display flats though.
Any reason you need the mini? The regular pitchblack is $49 on Amazon.
>>64220463
I honestly don't think your tubes are bad. If they were the literal tone of your amp would change. And you'd be getting some nasty distortion.
How old are the tubes? If tubes last for more than a few months they likely won't go bad any time soon. When tubes go bad they go bad within a very short time of being used.
>>64220455
I'm aware of the rebrand, Mesa has a killer warranty on their branded tubes though. And they burn them in themselves.
>>64220580
Haha no, Pelham Blue is really close to the color. The finish on that guitar is actually called Blue Mist. Also, thanks for the compliments earlier. I love the both of 'em.
>>64220408
Those humbuckers look fine. Although I read they aren't actually wide range, they just look that way and are really just your everyday humbuckers.
>>64220342
im about to dazzle my "sg" up a little, like the metallic blue one, not such a big fan of the dirty black one..
>>64220463
Yeah or screen resistors, sockets, power trans, all that stuff.
Tubes are going to see full supply voltage and idle current whether or not you're playing loud. Your playing just makes the current spike up and down.
>>64220599
I don't like the look of the regular, lol.
Weird protrusion.
>>64220648
I bought the amp used, tubes are what came with it, electro harmonix in the output, and tung sol in the preamp. My guess is these are not stock tubes with the amp, and were changed out at some point by the previous owner. Now that you mention it, I've been noticing some fizziness, and background distortion even at low volumes.
>>64220712
Right on. Well, the dirty old black one is kind of an acquired taste, but I absolutely love it and play it every day. It's the guitar I learned to play on.
>>64220819
Are the tubes red plating?
I've been working on composition and coming up with interesting chord progressions but no matter what I try to come up with or what I start on it never really sounds interesting. I've been trying to deviate from the usual I-IV-V-I stuff but no dice.
How did you improve your songwriting? And how strictly do you follow theory? I know that certain chords go nicely together (iii-vi, V-vi, IV-ii, vii-I, etc) and I've been trying to use those more
>>64221025
Don't think so, just normal tube glow when powered up.
>>64221181
I'd just have a tech take a look at it then.
anyone else keep a guitar setup for slide? i use this old silvertone. something about the semi-hollow masonite body/wooden bridge with that famous lipstick pup which all comes together quite nicely to complement slide playing
>>64221043
i used to focus on chords and shit
but now i just find shapes and try and guess what will sound nice and apply theory afterward
use extended chords to spice shit up
they help
Another old 1950's silvertone that's a great sounding player. the 1304 wishbook model. they also have metal nut contributing to their unique sound. This one has a weird "mid" placement of the pup.
What are some intermediate-level fingerpicked acoustic songs that will impress girls? I've learned most of the classics but want more, it's a fun style and I never got I to it until recently.
>>64222917

>>64222917
>impress girls
The arpeggio version of Wicked Game is pretty easy but they'll be frothing at the gash if you can sing the chorus well.
Sun Kil Moon is what I try to learn when I want a challenge. Some guy has a site with a lot of accurate tabs that aren't on UG, but I don't know if the girls you're into would like SKM or be weirded-out.
>>64221181
You can't trust visuals on a tube. Some glow on the plates or screens, while not ideal, isn't unheard of.
I just had a 6l6 give me a mini lightning storm (and it took the fuse/breaker). I threw it into the Eico tester for shits and it tested good.

Ive wasted a lot of time in those 8 years an have not practiced with much discipline but as soon as i dropped out of univeristy i started to write my own music and ive grown with much more speed, ive seen my abilities increase exponentially. I have never learnt another song besides the material i write and the way its turning out I dont think i want to either. Do you think pushing yourself in your writing and playing at the same time is equally as beneficial if not better than learning other peoples music?
>>64223219
I mean I think it's a bit more difficult to improve without learning at least a few songs here and there, or borrowing concepts from other artists. I've expanded my phrasing vocabulary a lot by listening to jazz and fusion players and trying to copy their licks, and that's helped me write more interesting solos and become a better improviser.
>>64222917
I've learned from experience that girls aren't that impressed by good playing unless it's virtuoso level shit. Focus on being able to sing well if you want pussy out of it.
Hey guys, guitar pleb back after like 6 months of absence with a stupid question
I've noticed that my guitar's tone and volume knobs are rather sticky (for the lack of a better word) and when turning them either up or down seems to make some interference on my amp. Wat do?
>>64222917
If you want female approval, take 12 seconds to learn Wonderwall.
>>64223604
Twist them over and over. If that doesn't do anything try some deoxit and do the knob twisting again.
>>64223157
Did you go ahead and throw that tube away then?
No, because that's not a tube issue. Also are you sure that's even the plate?
Here, hotshot. Which one of these tubes is bad?
>>64223759
Thanks for the suggestion.
I'll probably come back one day and play some sweet tunes for you guys (at least when I stop being shit at playing guitar)
Found one of these sweet things for $180 at a pawn shop.
>https://reverb.com/item/170501-ovation-ce44-rr-elite-solid-spruce-top-acoustic-electric-guitar-ruby-red
It has some damage near the cutaway (seems to be from a stand fall or short drop) It also has some cracking near where the bridge would be from being stored in too dry of a area.
Wondering if I should buy it. The action is still good and I could probably get them down to $150. Any anons have experience with Ovations?
more tube gore
here are the getters and the plate
The cigarette looking thing is the cathode. The filament in inside.
The gold wire is the control grid. This controls the tube.
The silver wire is the screen grid.
The silver box is the beam plate.
>>64223832
I never said that? Red plating is just a sign of overly hot bias.
Which one of those is bad? I don't know neither of them are plugged in and I can't hear what the amplifier sounds like. No need to sperg out nigger.
Which one are you, gg?

recently bought this quad of telefunken el84 for an orange ad30
also picked up some smooth plate tele ecc83 for pre and ribbed for pi of the ad30
and a mullard gz34 rectifier for the ad30
grabbed a Bendix 6v6gt for my new matamp minimat
also picked up an RCA 5879 for an ampex 601 mic preamp
that Orange ad30, i wound up running a tele on channel 1 and a bugleboy on channel 2 after rolling tubes for awhile to taste.

Look at classical music, determine ways to modulate from key to key.
An easy way to get from major to relative minor is through a major III(which is your V in the relative minor) then move to your new tonic, i.
Alternatively you could take that III and modulate to your parllel minor by going to your VI-V-i in your new key.
You could also modulate up a fifth, Bach liked to go from C major to G major all the time.

>>64226201

here is another Spaceman i was lucky to score, the WOW Signal Fuzz/Tremolo
WOW Signal has nice guts too, none of that two tier action like the Sputnik though
>>64226245
>looks heavy!
Yeah it weighs a bit of 15kg (33lbs). It outputs around 10kW at 7500 volts.
had the WOW Signal modded recently
These mods include:
• Switch 1: Remounts internal depth selector to outside panel
• Switch 2: Disengage LFO, which also turns Offset control into 2nd manual filter
• Switch 3: Speed selector - Wider speed range, including mega-fast ring-mod type sounds
• Sustain Mod: Adds a longer, smoother sustain to the fuzz-tone
>>64226309
DAMN, what's their applicationr?
>>64226354
Broadcast transmitters or radio telescopes. That one came out of an FM transmitter near here.
It vaporised someone a few years ago and they changed the towers over to MOSFET. Guy would've taken that power at around 103 amps.
Not much we can do with the 10kW, but been brainstorming ideas for the preamp tubes since they can output 300 watts each.

anybody try the new Dr. Scientist Heisenberg Molecular Overdrive? pretty innovative
Dr. Scientist—with help from the National Research Council of Canada, the National Institute for Nanotechnology and the University of Alberta—developed a way to use nanotechnology to create a molecular junction, a new kind of diode that saturates in a slower, smoother, more pleasing way than conventional, silicon diodes. What resulted was a new kind of overdrive pedal, featuring three gain stages: a MOSFET booster, an NPN transistor fuzz and an opamp distortion.
Got a kemper on a its way; should I sell my RV50? I don't see the point in keeping it but it looks so nice as furniture
that molecular junction gutshot
Need help getting something like this guitar sound on a recording
http://youtu.be/2CupfPCMp4Q
It sounds like it'd primarily room mic placement? Anything else I should try? I want to do this on my leads on recordings so they cut through a bit better.
>>64226531
is it affordable tho
>>64219741
I have a modelling amp and im wanting to get a tube amp
Gonna drop around 500 bucks for one
I also need a amp for a mic doing some diy shows with some friends soon and needed better equipment.
>>64226573
Sorry my question any recs for good tube amps
>>64226571
$400 retail i think.
>>64226603
which isn't that bad assuming the sound of the molecular junction is good stuff. I'm not certain on the stats, but I think that gain stage knob is a three way letting you choose between the pedal being an OD, Distortion, and Fuzz pedal.
so...three pedals in one @ $134 each.
nother look at the heisenberg molecular overdrive guts
>>64226573
Get yourself something with two big bottles (6l6 or el34) or four el84s. This puts you in the territory where you can play a space unmiked comfortably.
Ampeg and Traynor guitar amps are great and undervalued, so are musicman, Sovtek migs, Red Bear, Univox if working, lots of used peaveys but a few are pretty respectable.
If you're shrewd, you can get a workable amp down close to or at 200 bones.
>>64225926
Send me those, the transformers, and a chassis and I'll send you back a rig that could power a drive in theater PA.
>>64219741
Holy shit! Why did nobody tell me how fucking useful a looper pedal is? I should have gotten one right when I started...
>>64226830
>drive in theater PA.
You're thinking too small. Use them as preamp tubes for the 10kW.

Old version 8 black box EHX Russian big muffs fro the late 90's-early 2000's. Can get a decent one for less than $120. Other than that check out the Fulltone 69' or 70' fuzzes, there are pretty good and around the Sam for second hand ones.

then, Emin9 - x7577x

don't know what to call the next one, but - 5x532x
Dmaj9 - x5465x

>>64230979
yeah and it sounds like he isn't in standard tuning so it'll be hard to get those parts right when the camera isn't filming the fretboard
>>64231047
no im prettu sure he's in standard tuning
he's doing some tritone sub after the A/G, going down to the Ab for a bass note, can't tell what he's doing for the upper part

Is the positive grid thing some kind of joke? Looks like they did a good job paying all the popular youtubers to advertise for them, but the demo version sounds like total shit. Garage Band's built in amps sound way better. I don't get it.
>>64233290
iirc, raising/lowering it will change the break angle of the strings, which partly changes how hard the strings feel.
>>64233501
You've got to tweak a lot with amp sims to get a good sound, unlike most amps where you can just plug in and it'll be good.
Also IRs, if you don't use them every plugin's going to sound like ass.
When I practice bass upright I can't stretch my fingers as good as I could playing with it horizontal. I don't want to use mainly my middle finger and moving round the fretboard so much, any advice?
>>64233863
play horizontal
>>64233849
>Also IRs, if you don't use them every plugin's going to sound like ass.
?
>>64233849
Admittedly I don't know what I'm doing with amp sims, but the only way I could get any reasonably good sounding tone out of it was by rolling off literally all of the treble and presence, and you shouldn't have to do that. The stock sound I'm getting out of it is just a ridiculously harsh glassy, abrasive sound, it's awful.
Which Prince songs will you be learning in tribute /gg/?
>>64234038
Impulse response, they simulate the way a regular cabinet acts, without them your guitar sounds shrill and unpleasant.
>>64234090
Definitely sounds like you need IRs, guitar cabs roll off a lot of the shrill high-end, which doesn't happen with amp sims.
There used to be a link to a Mesa cab simulation in the OP but it's not there anymore, I can upload it if you want. You need an impulse response loader as well, like NadIR
>>64234135
Not exactly his but I'll be playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps in a while. His performance was absolutely based.
>>64234245
Huh, guess I'll look into it. Strange they don't include it in the plugin so that it doesn't sound like shit, or even say that it's necessary to have one. The plugin does have a cab simulator running, I don't know if that's the same thing.
>>64234135
none
>>64233290
It's position and height determines the break angle of the strings over the saddles. Generally you should not mess with it.
P.S. Tune-o-matic bridges are gay
>>64234431
They're the same, but some of them are not that great, like in guitar rig where they sound pretty dull.

It just sounds like it's a crappy mic placed randomly in the room
>>64240042
I'm pretty sure he already has a signature guitar with another company based on his Tele.
Does Prince have a retarded sister like Jimi Hendrix that's going to mooch money off of him?

Greetings blue brother.
I am thinking of getting the Focusrite 2i2 so I can connect my XLR mics to my computer. Does /gg/ have any experience plugging a guitar/bass directly into this with a 1/4" ?
>>64241435
That is my first interface, it works and by all accounts sounds as good as any other budget d/a. You can't bypass it's built in preamp, only set to unity gain to get least effect...but it seems quite transparent.
>>64241435
It has that switch for a line or an instrument signal, it'll switch to high impedance if you select instrument, meaning you can easily record a guitar/bass directly. It works just fine for clean, you'll have to do a bit of work if you want a proper overdrive sound.
I want a Jazzmaster to complete my meme trio, what colour should I get?
>>64241950
fagburst
>>64241934
But it should work if I use software amplifiers, right?
>>64241435
I've recorded bass directly into it a couple times and ran it through a digital amp. It took slightly more time to mix but sounded great

>>64241702
can you plug a decent preamp into the line ins at the back of the unit?
>>64241950
dem memes, love the matching headstocks
I'd play the shit out of this but it's not your typical meme machine
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/JazzSPBHHS
>>64241934
>>64241991
I mean software amps for overdriven sounds
>>64242022
Definitely works for bass, I don't have experience with guitar recording.
>>64241950
white ofc
What tubes for my AC15, /gg/?
Need that shit to not break up quite as quiet as it does. I'm thinking 12AU7 preamp? I like to dirtbox for my gain, I want my little amp to be as clean and warm as loud as possible.
>>64242095
>he fell for the tube jew
>>64242125
fite me
>>64242016
No, the 2i2 only has line outputs on the back to hoop up to your monitors etc. like I mentioned you can't bypass the built in preamp, but when you set them to unity gain they are basically having as little effect as possible...meaning you can just run your signal through your outboard preamp into either line in to get its coloration or whatever reason you want or use the external preamp. I almost 100% run the signal through an external preamp, or external d/I box. The 2i2 is pretty bland sounding on its own, which is probably a good thing.
>>64242095
I have an AC15, not much you can do to get more headroom out of it. I rolled a lot of NOS tubes in it and prefer Telefunkin el84 for their wide open balanced sound, and Mullards or amperex 12ax7 to warm up the midrange and add a little more presence. If you want less gain you might look into rolling a 5751 instead of a 12ax7 in the V1 spot.
Check out audiotubes.com for good subjective description of how different brands of tubes sound, plus he is a really great guy to deal with.
>>64242272
Oh it's on!
>>64220176
pirate it
the distortion tones arent that good
>>64242095
Oh yeah, aside from rolling tubes you might look at swapping the stock speaker for a Celestian Blue Alnico. It breaks up sooner, it you are looking for more breakup you'll find it with a speaker swap more than rolling tubes.
so when did the SG become the new meme guitar on /gg/? here's my standard
nothing beats tubes and tape delay, right?
from the early 60's, my Echoplex EP-2
>>64243253
SGs are cuck-tier
So.
I play mostly metal and now im getting lessons for jazz (i also play some classical shit)
I have obiously a bulletstrat
Im thinking in a jackson rhoads pro wich will sound good for metal stuff and will give a clear sound in clean tones
thougths?
>>64243387
Don't fall for the "metal guitars" bait, everything that has a humbucker can play metal and with some heavy tweaking you can even play death metal on single coils.
Get a proper guitar that doesn't rely on a gimmick.
EP-2 is great around the house/studio, sadly digital delays that are supposed to emulate tape delay just don't sound like the real thing and I needed a road ready tubed tape delay so i picked up a Fulltone TTE which does a really great job of being a sonic/functional clone of the EP-2.
>>64243381
Most cuck guitar of all the major shapes.
>>64243381
hmmmm, is /pol/ responsible for the SG meme
>>64243387
>gimmick
for exmple?
Fulltone started making a clone of the Echoplex EP-3 solid state tape delay last year. Early production units had some problems with quality of parts used...so i you look to buy one on the secondhand market keep this in mind...but they worked out the issues and i picked one up. Its nice and compact compared to the original EP-3, and adds some nice features that really make it quite the versatile l tool.
The Fulltone SSTE.
>>64243492
Anything that pretends to be "great for X", like pretending LPs are perfect for blues, or that teles can only get twangy.
Now I'm not dissing LPs or teles, but you can pull off so much more with just an EQ and your knobs. And they're easy and cheap to mod too, changing the pots on a Gibson LP for exemple can give you a brighter sound, or you could switch the position of the cap on a tone knob so that it removes the low end instead of the high end.
Also just an opinion but RRs feel awkward to play, even when putting them in classical position, make sure you can try one out before.
Thinking i want one of these Hologram Dream Sequence pedals. They are selling out before they even go on sale, so it's not gonna be anytime soon....
>>64242095
Great shot.
I don't have an ac15, but I've worked on enough similar tube layout amps to know what you've got going.
The problem with swapping a 12ax with another 12a_ variety pre tube is that you're just slacking on preamp gain. You'll be able to move the volume control knob farther before things get dirty, but your actual volume at breakup will be pretty much the same.
Two el84s just don't have the drive to push tons of clean volume. Yours share a cathode bias which gives a cool sound but sacrifices power.
If your model ac15 is using a 5y3, then a solid state rectifier will give you a lot more power and less sag. It would be wise to check with vox if this can safely be subbed in.

Still waiting on my Fane alnico spkr to get here, going in a SunnT50C combo
>>64243666
for sure
nice digits
>>64243442
That must look hilarious on stage
>>64244169
why's that?
>>64244018
good lord
I don't need this jealo.
i just listened to babe i'm gonna leave you by led zeppelin and i realized i would never reach that level of musical skill. i relistened to my own music and it sounds like shit a middle schooler would make. it made me feel like im wasting my time doing this
>>64244255
here's another look at two echoplex sitting atop the amps. i guess they look as hilarious as any other piece of gear?
>>64244317
here's a look of an actual Fulltone TTE there in the back left sitting next to the amp. looks pretty good to me.
>>64244397
i like how WATA keeps her spaceecho tape delay on a stand right there on stage like another instrument.
>>64244536
guy in Comets on Fire puts his echoplex ep-3 right up stage front, he plays those oscillations like an instrument

You got this triggered by a shitpost reply by a random nigerian in a pakistani bowling image board?
>>64244677
turns out its fun looking up pics of how other people use their tape delay units live. pretty neat pics too i think
here's a cool pic of gilmour with his binson on top of his heads, and on the ground.
binson looks so good
i wish infanem would hurry up with her modern clone
found this cool pic of the impossible to find multichannel echoplex. that's some serious GAS inducement
damn...
>>64245124
for some reason that reminds me of that Analogue Outfitters tremolo
>>64245145
and that reminds me of that new zvex candle powered vibrophase effect unit
>>64245215
in case you were wondering how much?
>>64220342
That black one looks like a finger print magnet.
I got a solid black Dean ML X and it's just like that, I feel the need to clean it like every month
>>64240913
Dayum that's gorgeous
So.. What's the catch with the cheap Gibsons? 750 for an American made guitar that has been pleked, sounds good.
>>64244844
Binson was selling some brand new Echorec built from NOS parts last year.
>>64245825
Saw them, but they were still like $4000 or something. The Infanem should be MUCH cheaper, i hope. Look at this lucky asshole running stereo set up with em.
>>64244759
>he owns 3 hiwatts,a leslie, and a binson
>can't afford a chair
are these the best straps?

Looking up Binson and saw this for sale
Anyone play one of these tube amps before?

Always looking to find a good deal on one of these Selmer treble and bass heads
>>64246127
I have a silver seat belt strap from Couch and it's honestly a lot less comfortable than my regular black nylon strap. You should be fine with the woven ones, though.
damn look at this mint 59 lp jr. only $7000, plus $50 for shipping lol.
>>64246427

>>64244303
zzZppelin were plagiarizing pieces of shit desu senpai.
Anyone ever play one of these Electric XII
looks so good, wonder how the neck feels
>>64243253
SGs and Teles are the trendiest guitars right now. Used guitar stores here in the PNW can't keep them on the floor for more than a day or two. Nothing wrong with that, though. Both great designs. That also means it's the perfect time to buy a Strat.
I really want a Baldwin Burns Double Six in green but vintage are WAY too much monies
>>64246595
they look good in red too, really want one with the tremolo though
>>64246595
>Baldwin Burns Double Six
at that price point there's no reason to not get a Ric.
>>64246491
fucking $5000 but I'd love one.
Danelectro makes good electric 12s on the lower end.
>>64246660
I've played both and liked the burns neck more. these were at different times/gear so who knows regarding the sound of stock pups, but the burns neck feels sooooo good for a 12.
i like the danelectro, old silvertones are some of my favorite guitars to play...but looking for a real top quality instrument for a 12 string electric
as far as looks go i think i like the burns over the rick too, although the burns headstock is kinda meh
>>64246797
only ever had this Martin Sigma 12 string acoustic, but would love an electric
