I don't think it's possible to buy just one. I'd take this chance to upgrade all of them. I've got a set of Sperzals on my RG8 and they're facking joocy
Really loving my setup atm. The Tonal Recall should be here as my second delay in a week or two and then I'll be mostly set.
Except for the reverb. I love the Procession, I really do, but it's way too over the top and it's kind of a one-trick pony. I need more traditional reverb options, ideally a Strymon flint but something like a BlueSky or a Neunaber will also do.

Why do you have a cable connecting the power in the the guitar output on that TS9?
I need help dudes!
I really want to learn Horizons by Genesis (Steve Hackett). The only good lesson I've been able to find is this one, and the tabs out there seem to be lacking:
>http://www.totallyguitars.com/target-songs/616-genesis/6744-horizons-genesis-guitar-lesson.html
Do you fellows have any sneaky tips to get around the paywall? Or know of this lesson being hosted elsewhere? Its a long shot, I know. But I don't want to pay $20+ of my peasant currency to learn one song.
NB: I have a terrible ear so learning it myself is pretty much out of the question.
>>65044750
>he doesn't loop his pedal's outputs into their power inputs so that they get powered up by the power of the guitar
baka do you even generate electricity with your guitar playing?
>>65044750
It's obviously a patch cable draped around the pedal. You can see the end off the top left corner by the knobs.
>>65044750
Not sure if srs, but no its a patch cable just laying around the pedal as to avoid draining battery life.

Has anyone here played with a boss gt-100 for an extended period of time? I played with one and fell in love with the pedal fx, running into an actual amp but didn't get a chance to use the amp sims, and I understand they take a lot more effort to use. The features were pretty incredible though. Van anybody speak to the quality of amp sims? I'm mostly interested in milder gain settings.

I got a new 2x12 today. It's a stereo cab with a separate input for each speaker. Each speaker is 4ohms, which is what my amp likes so I've just been playing through one of the speakers. It's loud as fuck but what would happen if I used a cable like pic related to plus into both cab inputs at once? Is that bad for my amp? Does that create a rating of 8ohms since it would be both 4ohm speakers at once? I'm an idiot but I hope someone will be able to help me out.

![Orange-CS50-Front[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Ss5dChR.jpg "Orange-CS50-Front[1].jpg")
Can anyone tell me why some people have such a hard on for (modern day) Orange? The Orange amps of today even the expensive ones aren't anywhere close to sounding like the old Orange amps that made the brand famous. Old Oranges had massive amounts of clean headroom and were medium gain amps at BEST.
The worst part of it all, the prices. For the price that you can get a new higher end Orange, you can buy a Matamp, Green, or Electric which still use the designs that made Orange famous.

I find the reverse reverb is pretty bland on its own. Reverse delay with the time like all the way down into some other reverb works out better. It's funny bc initially the reverse setting is what sold me. Fucking epic plate and hall on the grail IMO.

>>65046362
>needing body damage for street cred
>>65046312
the thing with chipped paint is you have ti actually remove it instead of painting over. That's pretty difficult. Ultimately you'll have to decide if it's worth it to you.
>>65046377
>>65046358
they get paid to play them and they look cool. Sounds like a win-win to me.
>>65046312
Why not buy some cans of Reranch nitro lacquer and use that? They sell all the primers and clearcoats you need too.
>>65046374
cool, that's about what I figured. I'll go with the Neo, then.
>>65046380
I was probably one of the people who advised you against it because it's really difficult and 9/10 times it comes out looking like complete shit unless you're a professional. But I think you should go for it, it sounds like it's a project you want to do and you like the guitar. You can't fuck a body up too bad. just don't excessively sand in any important areas. Sanding finish off is a fucking task.
>>65046434
>recommending reranch
Jeez, he already is complaining about price and you want him to use reranch? They cost more on the basis that they're vintage correct colors, which they aren't.
>>65046449
I think a key to getting a good result with a DIY refinish is to use paints made for idiots at home, not the same paint guitar manufacturers use.
>>65046434
I was likely going to go this route, I was going to check local hardware stores for car paint prices first though. Curious about their shipping rates..
>>65046449
Thanks senpai. From what I've read, going slow and doing a lot of lighter coats in lieu of doing one heavy is the way to go.
>>65046398
I got an orbital sander lying around that I got in a garage sale eons ago. It shouldn't be too hard with the right sand paper.
>>65046478
I recommended reranch because a lot of people have used it and enjoy the results. Supposedly they're much better than just using automotive stuff.
>>65046358
Matamp and Green are the same company.
>>65046377
The "real" Orange amps were made by Matamp.
>>65046565
They're different distributors.
where do you even buy Matamp and Green amps from

IIRC the guy that runs Electric (usa, the last link) started to take peoples payments and not deliver on orders. Not sure what the full story behind that is.
>>65046581
You're thinking of Matamp UK and Matamp US/Electric Amp. Green and Matamp UK are the same company.
Any other rickfags out there?
>>65046645
Last two links are the same guy. They're not the same as the Matamps. Guy is dodgy as fuck and delivers to Vietnam veterans faster than anyone else.
If you're in the US I'd still go through Matamp UK to get a Green made.

Yeah, honestly if I was spending that kind of cash I'd just buy from a local custom builder. Theres a guy here that runs a company called Steamboat and they make some pretty cool looking amps. Had the guy work on my VB-2 after the hot bias was red plating my tubes, he biased it a little cold though.
>>65044731
delicious color
>>65046754
Wow, thank you. That's one of the best things anyone's ever said about my playing. Huge compliment.
So my birthday is coming up and I'm thinking about asking momma for a mastery bridge for my jag. I'm looking for a bit more sustain and from what I've heard mastery bridges add some sustain. Does anyone have some experience with them?
>>65047001
if you want sustain play something other than a JM/Jag
Mastery are great either way.
>>65047056
Yeah, I'm aware short scale guitars aren't good for sustain, and I'm not looking for much just having issues especially at the higher frets where it almost sounds like a dead fret. It could just be a string height adjustment that I need.
That being said the fact that you say they're great is really all I needed to know. Just making sure they're not a waste of money.
>>65047001
I have one on my Jazzmaster and I love it. The tuning stability is great and it's a solid, well-built piece of hardware. As for sustain, it seems to hold notes much better than the stock bridge. I guess it would depend on what your current bridge is. I don't know if upgrading to a Mastery or Staytrem is worth the expense if you've already got a tune-o-matic and what you're after is just more sustain. There are a lot of other ways to get that including string type, string height, scale length, pickups, playing technique, pedals, etc. I was planning on replacing the absolute shite stock bridge on my JM anyway so I knew the upgrade would be worth it.
>>65047097
They're a huge waste of money. It's just a bridge, it's not going to give a Jaguar more sustain. Coming from someone who bought a replacement JM bridge because it was absolutely necessary.
>>65047102
it's a classic player HH, so it does have a tune-o-matic. I haven't had terrible tuning stability issues, although I have been avoiding using the trem. I think if I oiled up the nut it would help. I upped the gauge from the 9's it came with to 11's. I'm not sure if the nut needs to be filed for them but it seems to be ok.
In the end I wasn't really expecting a huge change but since I wouldn't be paying for it it wasn't a big deal. They seem like solid bridges, just wanted to be sure it wasn't a gimmick
>>65047197
It's not a gimmick but it's also definitely more for musicians who play consistently and understand the value of good hardware. If you've done all that already and you've got the TOM bridge I would have your mom spend that money on like, a used valve combo amp or something, since having the bridge replaced will cost at least $250 if a competent luthier is taking care of it. Just my opinion, though. if you're satisfied with your set-up and want that extra bit of gear to put your satisfaction levels over the edge a bit, then I say go for it.
>>65047197
It sounds like you need a professional setup from a shop, not a $350 meme bridge.
>>65047284
>>65047296
appreciate the advice
I had a sneaking suspicion this was the case
>>65047337
A good setup can make it feel like a new guitar. Cliche but true.
>>65043579

>playing an instrument yourself badly instead of listening to someone else play it well
>>65048149
Quick question to all, should playing musical instruments be viewed as 'competitive', like sports?
I know some people who would practice on ends just to win a competition, but when it comes to that point, is it still considered playing music, or just a self jerk to perfect some muscle memory?
>>65047543
Holy fuck, did anybody film that happen?
>>65046697
Reporting for duty
>>65045976
It's a parallel splitter, so your impedance would be halved, creating a load of 2 ohms.
>>65048189
You should practice it as like you would practice sports, always pushing your own limits.
But playing it is not, the best performance is about being precise.
>>65043579
What kind of patch cables are you using there?
>>65048189
I never treat guitar as a competitive aspect of my life. I just pick it up and play, sometimes noodle over backing tracks for hours, play along to songs I know or figure them out by ear, read tabs, write songs/tabs. The moment I sit down and decide to improve a scale run's speed by an extra 5bpm because so and so can do it faster than me, my love of guitar is zapped.
I was a national level gymnast in my younger days so I know a lot about competition, guitar is expressive for me as faggy as that sounds
>>65043072
Shimmed the nut on my bass, literally solved all the problems I had with it. I probably did a bit of a hack job on it but it's definitely not moving so I'll just leave it as it is.
That said, I think I'll need to redo the setup and intonation because now the action is a bit higher than what I'm used to.
>>65050285
Take it somewhere and have a proper nut cut now that you know what you want. It's not expensive and far better to get a good nut on there.
>>65050436
Nothing like a good nut.
I'll do that eventually, but the thing is there already is a nice brass nut on there, the previous owner just cut the slots too deep. So after my sloppy setup it should be done for now and if I decide to play it for the next years I'll get a new nut and have a professional setup done.
Honest question here. which do you think is a higher act of virtuoso, vai/petrucci/satch kind of shredding, or the jazz kind of 'shred'?
two clips to compare,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql_bHgaQQZE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbHc5i4O2tc
>>65050590
the jazz one, its so much more sophisticated and interesting
>>65050590
Either of those shredders are more interesting to me than Malsteem.
But jazz seems more sophisticated and interesting as said before. There's some musicality to it that gets lost if you just shred mindlessly
>tfw is way easier for me to be fast than to be melodic
Just fuck my shit up senpai
>>65050590
Playing fast doesn't mean you shred. Shred is more an act of showmanship.
Picking Yngwie is sorta cherrypicking though, he has absolutely no sense of subtelty compared to vai/petrucci/satch/a whole lot of guitarists.
Just listen to the second guitar solo at 3 minutes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5OmzUEm504
>>65050728
>>tfw is way easier for me to be fast than to be melodic
>Just fuck my shit up senpai
Same, I can play fast but it's useless if you can't play anything worthy of it.
>>65050285
>>65050436
>>65050550
By the way, since I never had a professional setup done, is there usually a big difference? Like, I don't always know 100% what I'm doing but right now my bass plays very smoothly and I just set the intonation to be as close as I could possibly get it, what would a professional do differently? Just from experience, was it worth it to have the setup done professionally vs doing it yourself?
>>65050590
It's both kind of the same. Pat Martino is pretty much a wanker, not that I don't like him but he's really just spitting out notes as fast as he can most of the time.
I would much rather listen to chill players like Jim Hall or Billy Bauer
>>65050903
a basic setup is just - intonation, truss rod adjustments, string height, and pickup height
if the luthier actually knows what he's doing he will make sure the nut height is good too. the nut is really the only difficult part when setting stuff up, if it isn't at a good height then he will have to either shim it, sand it, and/or file or fll+file the string slots if they aren't quite right
the nut stuff i'd take to a luthier, personally i'm just not confident enough doing stuff like that to my nut
>>65050590
i like listening to jazz fusion guitarists way more than the vai/satch type of players

Hmm, thanks for the input. I suppose when my hackjob of a nut shim gives in or doesn't satisfy me anymore I'll take it to a luthier and have a new nut cut to exactly my preferred string gauge with the perfect height as well, and at that point I'll have him do a complete and total setup with my strings as well.
Guys, I have this guitar.
For recording purposes or for different sound/whatever purposes, wat du recommend?
>>65051218
You want another guitar? Something with Humbuckers would be the logical choice. I would get a Gibson SG
>>65051218
If you really want something completely different, get either Baritone/7 string (although SSS 7 strings only exist as luthier made instruments) or a Bass VI
so the band i'm in is playing at some type of church party in august
i guess covering burzum is off the table now

What's a good HM-2 replacement?
Or any tips on how to find one? Would it be easier just to build one?

Behringer HM300 sounds almost identical, same circuit.

He is just locked into one specific style. The others explore a lot more with other styles. Yngwie's fucking great at what he does.

>>65051990
But the HM300 will break if you look at it wrong.
>>65052334
Not really, just don't stomp the shit out of it.
>>65052257
Man, there's plenty of great guitarists that never even touched a guitar until their late 30s to early 40s who've become well known. You have plenty of time.
>>65052257
its never too late anon
i hadn't played seriously for ~4 years until a few months ago and im gonna jam with a high school friend of mine soon
So anyway I have this super shreddy Ibanez RG, and what's a good humbucker I can put on it to get the standard Jazz rolled-off highs tone?
I really really don't want to get a hollow body.
>>65052373
I had a behringer EQ, shit broke by itself, I never played it outside of my appartment. They're not bad pedals but they're completely unreliable.
That makes me think I should get an EQ pedal, I'm sick of my amp's unintuitive tone knob.
>>65052416
Just use the middle position and lower both the volume and tone knob, that should already give you a smooth tone.
>>65052508
The middle position is a single coil. Doesn't really give the sound I want.
>>65052309
>didn't fall for the mojo demons aka women
You did good man.

Let's hope so. I'm wondering too.

Moping because I'm getting old
>tfw mentally tired and unable to pick up new music theory
I picked up the guitar recently, got a pacifica 112v and I noticed that whenever I play a chord and lift my fingers at the end there is something like a strange metallic sound from strings. I only tuned my guitar but I don't have it set up or anything, is that sound only me playing badly or should I adjust something on the guitar itself?
>>65053535
Does it make the same sound as it does if you hit all the strings very lightly without fretting ? If so that's just bad muting technique.
hey fellow shedders, what do you think of my sick new toans?
http://vocaroo.com/i/s12e8jmn8vAz
only cost me 10 grand, what a steal!
>>65053558
Yeah it's something like that but much stronger. I just realized that it's the same as when I pick a string and right after touch it again slightly with the pick itself.
I guess I need to work on this, I just wasn't sure if the guitar was badly adjusted or I was just bad.
Anyone know how I get in the ball park of a Bob Mould tone? Seeing him live quite a few times and browsing the Internet he sends a dirty signal to a delay where it's split and sent through something called a harmonizer and sent to a tube amp and solid state amp.
Is there anyway to achieve that "wall of noise and harmoics" without spending a fortune?
Pic related. His early 90s setup
I'm going to buy a medium-high gain distortion pedal. Ya'll got any recommendations?
Walrus Audio Iron Horse and Earthquaker Devices Acapulco Gold have piqued my interest if anyone has played either of those.

No it doesn't.

You want satin necks.
>>65054573
You can sand down or make any finished neck satin and smooth with a scotch brite pad in 5 minutes.
>>65052330
yes but your improvement will be drastically faster if you knew the proper way to practice.
And that goes for all of us

How would you say this informs your playing? r8 your flatpicking?
How do you manage to play like this?
How many years of sweat and tears does it take?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FeptLky2mU
>>65053789
for a wall of noise doubling the signal in pretty much any way will get you close. There are ways that don't involve two amps.
>>65054824
I'm practicing a few hours every day using JustinGuitar, the practice schedule is pretty good there I think, at least for now.
>>65054959
if you ONLY practice this song, you could probably in a 7 months to a year if you practice at least 5 hours a week

You're the same guy shitting on everyone's remotely expensive/vast boards, aren't you?
Sounds like you're mad jealous and butthurt about being poor.
>>65055847
>not even mentioning the fact there's more pedals than speaker inches
I mean come on
>>65055968
I have a 4X10 in top of the 1X15. I haven't gotten to 55 pedals quite yet, maybe someday.
>>65055913
the only reason I'm shitting on you guys, is because I've never seen any of you come up with anything other than indie or blues. Also from experience. I used to have a 2 board setup and it was so fucking cumbersome and even the guys that use effect pedals a bunch, don't press this many.
Also you plebs don't even scratch the surface of these pedals so it's like they gave you guys a bajillion options and you fools only stick to one
if there's one thing I love is hearing crazy sounds and trying to figure out how to recreate those sounds
>>65055968
but great choice on the freeze pedal. Bill Frissell, Fripp and Nels Cline sold me on it. brilliant fucking concept

At least use a more realistic price if you try to bait. Could also lose the word toans and the exclamation mark to make it realistic. 3/10
>>65055993
It's your money, I'm not responsible for what you buy.
>>65056066
I've been wanting a freeze for a while but 135€ seems a bit steep for what it is

Does anybody here know of an amp sim that models something with a mid sweep knob? Most of my favorite sims from a distortion perspective use tone stacks that I'm not really fond of, and I'm wanting to keep my rig as close to 100% digital as possible. I might grab one of these pedals (or a Two Notes Le Lead) but I'd like to see if I can find a preamp that does what I want first
Like, I love how the Ignite Amps stuff and Amplitube 4 sound for high gain, but I just don't like compromising on the mids and sticking EQs before and after only goes so far.
>>65056459
I have one of those too.
>>65056459
it's the growing boutique pedal culture. Gotta get the craziest pedal to play Creep
>>65056552
nice! do you have a sample of your playing?
>>65043613
I think the point was more like 0-1, 1.3 at the most.
>>65056552
I keep looking at their multiscales and wanting them, but my Interceptor came with such nightmarishly awful fretwork that I figure the expense to get a good Pendulum/Intrepid playable is going to throw the price up into regular brand (e.g. Ibanez) tiers.
>>65056545
You don't need to go out of your way to find a preamp with that kind of EQ, everything in the stack is post-gain anyway. You can put a parametric EQ after the preamp and achieve the same effect.
>>65054885
I was saying it to show I have a strong understanding of competitiveness and goal setting, and guitar playing isn't like sports training at all
>>65050590
oh easily martino. malmsteen just seems like hes going up and down scales. which he his.
i think holdsworth combines the 2 the best.

What if you have some previous experience? I guess that estimate it's for someone that never touched a guitar before.
>>65052381
>until their late 30's or 40's
genuinely can't think of one man. it really isn't bullshit that your brain is more malleable when you're younger. best time to start is like 9-15
>>65047296
Ahahaha
Who can't even set up a guitar shouldn't play.
>>65057343
>8 string
Did you even look at the picture?
>>65057798
no but who cares. it's more than 6. let's fucking hear that chapman stick
>>65056552
How do you play that without any of those lower stringers rattling? I played a Legator 8 and it was a mess.
>>65057952
How do you play on your G string without the lower strings rattling ?
>>65057343
I was just bullying because of the rick and morty picture
>>65058037
very carefully. Guthrie says, "use a fluffy hairband.
>>65057952
>>65058037
>>65058131
I swear to god guitarists are such plebs when it comes to muting.
>>65058037
What are you asking exactly? I play a 6 string. You can mute with both your palms. The problem with 8 string is that there typically isn't enough flesh to compensate. I can't imagine how a 10 string must feel.
>>65058175
I don't play extended range, faggot. Why would I know a anything about something relatively niche?
>>65058131
Guthrie only uses it when doing two handed tapping. If you can't mute the strings when playing in a regular way, you need to rethink your technique
>>65058175
Well at least if they're playing clean it's not overly annoying as it is on bass. But I cringe every time I hear my friend play because his muting is shit.
>>65058178
>there typically isn't enough flesh to compensate
Use your forearm. You can't run out of flesh to mute the strings, that's just not possible. I mean you probably didn't spend enough time on it to get that, you're not to blame.
>>65058218
>proper technique is niche.
>>65058218
>muting your strings is niche
Fucking guitarists.
>>65058280
"not as bad" doesn't mean that it should be acceptable, sure they're not droning in the background and muddy everything up because they're in the higher registers, but it's still sloppy as fuck.
>>65058344
I'm not advocating for letting your strings ring, but on a clean signal when someone's playing casually it doesn't bother me much.
>>65057952
I have a fretwrap and big enough hands to mute everything properly.
>>65058280
>>65058344
playing an 8 string is still niche. Knowing how to properly mute an 8 string is niche. I didn't once suggest proper technique isn't common, you fucking morons. Stop being so fucking argumentative.
>>65058441
>knowing how to put your hand/arm on the strings is niche
Do you also need someone to wipe your ass ?
>>65058466
>reiterating the same bullshit
You're a special type of retarded.
>>65058488
t. faggot who still can't understand how to mute strings
>>65058405
It just annoys me when people don't learn it because they don't mind, proper technique should be enforced on new players so they don't make these mistakes IMO.
>>65058441
Muting an extra string or two doesn't require any specialized techniques, it's literally just an extension of all the normal techniques so stop trying to justify your sloppy playing.
>>65058542
he's right. I thought it over and I'm retarded
>>65058542
>should be enforced on new players
guitar playing licenses when
im new to guitars how do i mute effectively
>>65058921
put your hands on the strings you don't want to play
>>65056009
You're so buttthurt and mad at other people having more stuff than you, lol.
>>65058974
its not that easy :\
>>65059005
it's exactly that easy. You touch the strings you don't want to produce a sound.
>>65058975
lmfao. the only pedal from either setups that I would want is the warped vinyl. but I committed to the charlie foxtrot and I've got no more space on the board except for maybe a tiny pedal. I need a tiny envelope filter/auto-wah. Just got into funk
Why is someone either A. A jealous poorfag, or B. Overcompensating for bad playing?
There's plenty of rich musicians who use minimal gear, some that suck and some that play amazingly. There's plenty of musicians with huge effects boards that can sound great with or without them.
You don't have to be an accomplished artist to want to use less or more effects, or want to use higher or lower end gear. It's a personal choice.
>>65059206
all I want is to hear how both of these guys are using all those great pedals. trying to get inspired here
this is probably a stupid question, but...
how do i use the rest of the fretboard?
all tabs i see only ever use the basic chords, and i've never really went further up the neck than the third or fourth fret.
how do i learn to use the rest of the fretboard?
>>65059250
Nobody owes you any explanation about how and why they chose and paid for their gear.
Your douche attitude only makes you come off as an envious, poorfag, edgy teenager.
Grow up.
>>65059455

Had a guitar for almost 2 years now and I still can't play chords. Wtf is wrong with me.
>>65048189
As far as developing your abilities, you should always be competitive, driving yourself to be the best you can be.
But when it comes to performance, what matters most is making it serve the song. If you can play it competently, stay within your abilities AND make it sound good enough that people have a good time, that's really all that matters. Ultimately, nobody cares if you play Wonderwall or I'm Yours as long as you can do it well enough to bring back that feeling they had when the words REALLY meant something to them for the first time.
>>65059814
You put no effort into learning how to do chords well.
>>65059814
ez senpai. learn the moveable major minor and 7th chords and then practice them while watching tv. muscle memory kicks in then and you're good
>>65059881
It's really hard.
>>65059952
I don't know what those are. I use tabs for everything.
>>65060001
>don't bother learning chords
>complain you can't play chords
Apply yourself, I've been playing for two years and the only chords I can't pull out of my ass are non-major/minor chords with extensions.
>>65060111
what do you mean by non-major/minor chords with extensions?
like 9ths or 13ths (dominant chords) or diminished or augmented?
