Previous thread:

>>61914033
That guitar is having an identity crisis.
How do I get cheekbones like Vai?
>>61914033
>>61914094
It is, and I don't know why I want it so badly. What a pretty guitar
>>61914095
Contract HIV
>>61914095
Stop eating and have already high cheekbones.
Now that I think about it, I could pretty much look like him if I were tanned and had a shitty 80's haircut.
>>61914033
>>61914094
I like it, looks better than a LP imo. I prefer comfy contours so I wouldn't buy one though.
>>61914124
don't be rude anon.
>>61914123
I'd like to have that in a darker burst, something like tobacco, or edgy gray, or that dank purple top that someone posted in a previous /gg/
so I god a 2i4. is it better to mic my amp and plug it into the 2i4, or just plug my guitar effect chain straight into it?
So is everybody who posts here bad at guitar? Seems to be the case.
>>61914661
Yes. I'm trying to get better, though.
>>61914661
Here is an angry reply for you. Consider my bonkers clonked. Your work is done here. You can now rest easy knowing you have a hieved your goal.
>>61914661
I play professionally/for a good portion of my income. I'm not a virtuoso though.
>>61914762
I just rarely see anybody actually discuss music. You know, what guitars are for?
>>61914859
Music gets discussed. Theory gets discussed. Lurk moar.
>>61914859
He says while adding absolutely nothing to the conversation.
I get it, you came and posted so you can feel superior to all these plebs though.
>>61914859
What am I supposed to talk about? I came up with a cool riff the other day. Anything else?
>>61914923
One music post for every 100 about pedals and finishes and brands... wow what a bastion of knowledge. You are right, this place is a breeding ground for musical discussion. With so many musicians, how could it not be?
i would like to submit this for the sticky but i can't get a pdf.
why is life so hard
>>61914982
is someone forcing you to be here?
>>61914997
Isn't it bad for his second finger to be that high up the fret on that first chord?
>>61914997
The way guy no.1 is forming that chord hurts me internally

>>61914982
You're on fucking 4chan and it's fine for people helping each other out with bits and pieces. I assume most people talk about the music they're actually making with the people they're making music with.
Enlighten us though, what would you like to talk about right now rather than bitching.
>>61915061
I do that senpai
>>61915006
Is someone forcing you to respond? If I was wrong, you would all just ignore me and it would be obvious I was wrong as my post sat in the middle of a bunch of others about music. Instead, you all know you spend more time looking at gear than playing or learning because you know that deep down, you don't love guiar as much as you want to believe, you just latched onto it and starting building an identity from it because you're shallow 16-20 year olds with no thoughts inside yourself worth expressing, so you go on shitposting and avoiding the truth.
>>61914981
Maybe post it and strike up a discussion? That would of course only be possible if there were enough others around capable or interested enough in music to bother. Sadly, not the case.
>>61915221
You have failed me anon:^(
Anybody have an idea for how much these things sell for now?
Last time I checked, it was considerably higher then what I paid for it, but now I can't find a price anywhere.

Looking for my first capo. Any recommendations?
>>61915250
Please just put on a trip so we can filter you
>>61915343
EB Hybrid or Power Slinky, I like the 11's right now.
>>61915343
D'Addario .10s on a JP6, .09s on a RG.
I'll move to .10s completely when I use the two 10-pack boxes I have stashed of 09s.

It's like 3 seconds long, it'll barely cause any discussion. With how salty you're being you'll just call it trash and act superior to me.
Any good songs/practice for bass gallop?
>>61915461
Sucks to hear the truth, ehh? One look at any of these threads proves me right. The discussion here is pretty much just reddit tier retardation, memes, and posting the same cliche's over and over.
>>61915594
Unfortunately, it probably is trash. It might be less trash if you posted it and had others give input and critique. Nope, just like you said. You will get 2-3 two sentence responses at best, and somebody just saying:
>ememememememe
its shit
>>61915604
You mean triplet feeling stuff ? If you're speaking about that, that's like half of power metal.

But I don't want input and critique. I only brought it up because you were shitting up the thread.
>>61915883
Yeah stuff like that. I'm working on The clash - Lost in the supermarket, but that's too fast. I don't any power metal songs but if it helps, why not?
>>61916129
>that's too fast
The answer to that is always practicing at a slower BPM with a metronome
>>61916045
My deepest apologies.
>>61915975
No point. Everybody would shit on it regardless of quality at this point. Also, take note that I never once said I was great, only that these threads are shit.
>>61916214
Yup, that's what i'm doing. I was just wondering if anyone knew cool songs with a galloping bass and a somewhat slow bpm.

Is the john Petrucci signature wah gonna be worth it?
>>61916497
>another fucking modelling amp
Is everyone trying to cash in the success of modelling ? I was fine with the axe fx and the kemper, but then came the helix, this and the BIAS head ?
Also am I the only one who thinks it's retarded trying to model the frequency response of another cab while you're already using a cab ?
>>61916829
it's pretty silly, but what else could it have been? it's marshall for fucks sake

Something actually good. Why the fuck didn't they make a single DSL model with a powersoak ? or hell just copy Mesa's idea of having an EQ as well as three knobs ? There's plenty of things that could have been done, releasing a modelling amp now sounds like they're just trying to cash into a trend, I wouldn't be surprised if it was overpriced.

The best wah is the first run of the Bad Horsie. Fantastic design.
>pic-related, mine which I bought for $50 off a guy clearing out his home studio. Easily one of the best gear finds I've ever had.
I listened to a couple of the Petrucci wah demos and to me it's nothing special. For my money, the best Dunlop wahs are the original Cry Baby and the Jerry Cantrell. The Petrucci wah sounds amazing when Petrucci plays it because he's got a million other things processing his tone between his guitar and amp.
TL;DR there are better wahs out there for a lot less money.
What are some good tube amps for less than 1k bucks? Was thinking about getting a Fender Blues Deluxe. Anybody played one?
starting second Bugera repair. If I don't report back, I've exploded.
>>61916829
>BIAS head
What are the benefits over the vst anyway?
>>61917076
It has a power amp section. And that looks to be it.
>>61917069
RIP in piece anon.
Hope your tombstone won't be a behringer pedal.
>>61917047
I've played one belonging to an acquaintance of mine at a few bar gigs. Seems like a pretty decent amp, and I know he uses it for recording and solo performances. It has great natural overdrive.
I use an Egnater Rebel 20 head and I love it. Simple as it gets, single channel, and I get all my OD from a pedal. I spent >$300 for it used off eBay, then spent another $160 for a new Fender cab.
>>61917177
>It has a power amp section. And that looks to be it.
Why didn't they just make it a power amp+midi controller and add a copy of their vst with it tbqh?
>>61917231
Oy vey ! The goyim knows ! Shut it down !
>>61914661
Better than most; shittier than others
I'm ok with that. Are you any good, anon?
So, I'm building a new Strat. This might be heresy but I'm building a Hardtail Partscaster.
I've picked up a MIM Tom Delonge body because it's pretty much the only hardtail you can get besides a Robert Cray. Bonus: Surf Green!
I'm waiting to pick up a MIA '06 Deluxe neck with a compound radius, soft V, and a maple fretboard with abalone dots. I'm going to slap some 60s RI hardware onto it.
I've also ordered a set of Bare Knuckle Mother's Milk pickups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8JjU3QgxqA
Thoughts? Is this crazy or have I done a good thing? I guess if it's shit, I can always sell the parts and go back to my Am Standard.
>>61917047
Good shit, the whole hot rod series from fender is great for that matter.
Other options : Vox AC series or Blackstar HT series
>>61917300
I'm ok. Mainly just wanted to trigger faggots who shit up these threads.
>>61915574
Seconding, both are great and will last years if you look after them.
How shitty are the licensed Floyds on the Jackson SLX Soloists? This thing is kind of tempting...
>>61917047
You can get almost anything non-boutique for that price used. At least where I live. Blues deluxe is alright, but kind of shrill and the overdrive channel is really generic, but still good.
How do I turn a chord progression into a song?
Also how do I settle on one thing, there is like a million little things you can do differently, its impossible to settle on one strumming pattern, certain way to play a chord, playing it at a different time, damn dude
>>61917047
try to find an AC30 off craigslist: 7-800~
>>61915455
Planet Waves
Cheap and it works great.
>>61915074
Guaranteed you just think you're doing the A shaped major bar chord correct, but because of how you hold it you're completely muting the highest string in the chord, its 3rd, which is what makes it a major chord. You're playing a power chord you faggot.
>>61916974
Nice.
I've been playing on my dad's no-name one, and I got a Taylor 110 recently. I can't stop playing it.

>>61914661
I've been playing for 12 solid years. Not as good as I want to be but who is? if you're satisfied with your playing level you're not a musician imo.
>>61915343
Ernie Ball power slinky or D'Addario med top/heavy bottom.
>>61915455
my vote is for Shubb. love that sunmabitch.
>>61917802
try writing a melody first
>>61917802
luckily you're allowed to write more than one song, you don't have to settle on one thing. A chord progression is already a song, listen to folk music.
Is it bad that I like the Dean Cadillac?
>>61918107
Uhh. I know it's weird, but look from angle. I just squeeze and the finger frets the note. Sort of just happens when you play thumb over I guess. I have lots of bad habits I guess, but I make the noises I want.
>>61919287

>EL34
Oh my, YES
i wonder if Marshall's modeling amp thing that is coming out will convince the retarded Fudds of the guitar world that digital modeling is good shit
>>61920095
Dear anonito, have you ever used a Digitech Supernatural? I can't decide between that and the Context.
>>61920199
Only modelling amp I've had was a broken piece of shit because the noisegate was shit.
>>61920095
I only have an acoustic so I don't own any.
I wish I knew more about electric guitar stuff.
Are the bare metal ones on the left, homemade?
>>61916829
>Also am I the only one who thinks it's retarded trying to model the frequency response of another cab while you're already using a cab ?
Not if you're going line out and using the units cab purely for stage sound.
>>61920216
context >
seriously its my favorite pedal i still cant believe all the shit you can do with it
>>61920229
yes they are homemade
>>61919288
That's a D though, not a C.
>>61920268
True, but they're aiming to sell those things with cabs.
Same as the modelling stuff Boss just unveiled.
I'm already sick of this fad.
>>61916829
the only problem with everyone's strategies for modeling so far is that they're going after less informed consumers by making high cost amps when people who play through computers are already generally well informed and know you really just need a USB interface and a DAW
I'm experimenting with materials for muting at the moment, Velcro straps, foam, etc. Gives you some really cool "effects" and things you can do that wouldn't be possible otherwise. Velcro strap around the bridge/strings mutes them quite a bit and gives you a really interesting percussive sound, at the nut it basically does the same thing as a fret wrap. I'll maybe cobble together a few rhythm tracks with that stuff.
>>61920199
Considering their pricing I doubt they're gonna be comparable to other might end modellers out there.
>>61916829
For my modelling rig I have the left channel sent to a power amp and cab with the right channel with a cab sim sent to the PA.
Hell they've already got a modeller which is miles ahead of these, the JMD:100.
>>61920348
velcro straps sounds like a pretty cool idea. i have this crooked neck cort somethingerather les paul clone thing. i think i want to turn it into a prepared guitar.
>>61920348
what about sparkly hair scrunchies?
>>61920372
I had the ones with adhesive lying around, so I can just cut them to length and do whatever. Just a nice thing to mess around with, I doubt that it'll have any real implications for me.
>>61920383
Erm, what?
Hey guys i want to buy an small amp so neighbors stop throwing things at me, so far the best i have seen is http://www.randallamplifiers.com/product/rd5h/
What would you choose? im looking for a vintage metal sound
>>61920436
low wattage >
>>61920436
Marshall mg10cdr
or whatever mg you can find on CL
also, are you sure it's not because you're playing metal rather than volume? Cause I'd be annoyed if it was even audible, let alone loud.
>>61920436
>looking for metal sound
can you play through a computer? It would be a lot cheaper than buying a small amp and if you have decent headphones sound better
>>61920436
POD HD+ Headphones. Will sound better than most crapper low wattage combo's and you could use it for recording.
>>61920500
This is a good option as well, don't waste money on shit amps.
>>61920436
HoTone makes those nano heads, the thunder Bass works fine and sounds good. I use it with my full 410 cab in the living room.
>>61920095
I bought a an earthquaker dispatch master reverb/delay. I like it
>>61920534
>delay
I will never see the appeal of delay. Best I can figure is it's an easy way to make tremolo sound like a swarm of bees.
>>61920494
So far everyone has told me to staw away from those amps, nah, sometimes i even play some blues and they still hate me
>>61920500
>>61920517
At night i use to play with guitar rig, idk if there are better options in that field, anyway i preffer an amp, thanks
>>61920528
oh ok i will check that out thanks
>>61920590
there are much better options in that field. You can pirate what isn't free most of the time
>>61920590
>anyway i preffer an amp, thanks
Well your neighbor sure doesn't.
>>61920569
I think having a little bit of delay is nice. Adds to the atmospheric sound you get from reverb effects
>>61920534
whats it like? is it more of an "add color and timbre and whatever" type efx or more of a "this doesnt sound like a g uitar anymore and ive never been happier" sort of efx?
ive been eyeing that thing up pretty hard but i dunno if id spring for that guy. i really want a third and probably final reverb or reverb/delay... thinking about the tc electronic T-2 thinger where they said they designed each setting ground up with ambient tones in mind
>mfw I realize namm is scheduled around tax returns
What could possibly cater to blues lawyers more
Now I'm embarrassed to be excited about namm
>>61920629
Well i guess its part of coexistence, im trying to lower my wattage, he should try to bear it
>>61920628 What would you use?
>>61920329
Half of modelling stuff is that yeah. The axe fx and the kemper look actually interesting, haven't heard them live but the rest of it looks like garbage.
>>61920569
Delay when playing fingerstyle is pretty mad. I've been itching for one of those with a built in FX loop to change the sound of the delay itself, it could lead to some really interesting results.
>>61920569
>>61920569
i love delay. havae you ever considered utilizing one with longer repeats and lower time settings? give you more of a sustainy tone where harmonies wash into eachother and melodies wash into eachother like endless harmonies?
>>61920693
>he should try to bear it
Or you could use headphones? Not saying you're in the wrong but not everyone appreciates music.
>>61920693
honestly dude just plug in headphones. Get a nice pair that won't fall off until they crush your skull.
>>61920690
It was my second buy into pedals besides a wah pedal so I can't really say. I've gotten it to sound nothing like a guitar but I mainly keep the effects light
>>61917802
Just decide on it.
Go with what best matches your lyrics and then decide what you're going to do with it.
Creating a song is like driving-you have to decide where you want to go, how to get there, and what you want to do while you're there.
>>61917802
stop picking a key and a scale and that kind of shit and then attempting to turn that into a piece of music. confuised as to why your shit doesnt sound like t he shit that inspires you? its because youre pissing in the wind man. you cant come up with sick licks using a list of locker combinations.
stop agonizing over whats correct. does it sound good? then why the fuck are you dwelling on it?
>>61917069
Back. The fuse was killed and a power tube was zombified. I put a strong new tube in and the shitty infinium system doesn't like the other three now.
I'll get you jewgera
>>61920095
I'm just getting into pedals after playing acoustic mostly for the last few years.
I'm loving what I have but fuck is it a pricey thing to get into.
Eg I want that red panda context (or old blood noise procession) but that's $200 for either.
>>61921227
dude the old blood pedal is incredible
but yeah pedals are expensive as shit
dont forget how its not hard to get into diy efx. theres an initial investment you have to make in order to compile the tools youll need but after that the only actually expensive part is the aluminum enclosure you put the guts into.
r/diypedals is the jump-off point. PCBs are the most straight forward way of assembling circuits imo, but i prefer working with stripboard (aka vero board).
tldr its definitely within your grasp assuming youre not retarded
My teacher is basically putting all technique lessons for bass on halt until I can read sheet music at least semi-decently... I was focusing on technique so much (and I'm actually seeing progress there) but reading sheet music just won't go into my head for some reason, I know that it'll make me a more versatile player and that it'll be beneficial in the end, but holy fuck is it boring and oh boy does it seem like a waste of time right now when I could be practicing techinque instead.
Also, even though I'm a beginner, I'll get to play with a bunch of old guys and old profs at my Uni, which sounds kinda cool. We'll basically get drunk and play some folk music, and maybe rehearse a thing or two for opening ceremonies each year.
>>61921334
>My teacher is basically putting all technique lessons for bass on halt until I can read sheet music at least semi-decently...
this sounds like a shit way to teach the bass guitar

What's the name of the guitar she's playing in this vid?
>>61921373
He's great in every other aspect, he just wants to force me to learn sheet music, basically.
>>61921407
it's written on the headstock you twat
Who uses the wah pedal best and why is it Petrucci?
>>61921423
i see. i mean, you do you and everything... but i went a long time without being able to read sheet music and got pretty fuckin sick at the bass guitar. eventually i learned to read sheet music via a nonmajors music theory course, finale, and a portable grand.

play along to music you like and after a good long while youll just be able to hear whats going on. id wait until then to bother with sheet music.

wah is shit
Looking for a decent modulated reverb, where should I be looking /gg/?
>>61921540
If you haven't heard paradigm shift then you're only hurting yourself.
>>61921423
sounds shit desu
sheet music just isn't as important as people would like it to be
your teacher needs to accept that
>>61921540
>le i only play noise rock
>le i only shoegaze
>le i only play acoustic
>le i only play gypsy jazz
fuck your self pretentiousness, theres nothing wrong with a wah unless youre kirk hammett
>>61921577
I literally hate dream theater tho
My ME-80 Ive been using for a couple of weeks. I took a risk getting a multieffects pedal as opposed to analog but after tweaking it for bloody ages you can actually get a really nice sound.
Would absolutely recommend if anyone just needs a quick and easy setup for at home.
>>61921565
red panda context has a gated setting thats sorta like that.
why not get some sort of modulation pedal and run that into a reverb pedal?
how hxc do you want your mod to be? laser guns and fireworks and grandfather clocks? pitch shifting, detuning, arpeggiating?
>>61921423
Can't write a masterpiece if you can't even read it I guess.
>>61921192
> the fuse was killed
I would have given up at this point.
>>61921613
not that anon but I refuse to use a wah because I'm so sick and tired of the way it sounds
>>61921615
That isn't even dream theater.
>>61921655
fuck knowz mate
all i know is I found this vst recently and my guitar sounds good through it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ITN622DXXk
looking to get similar sounds live (i dont want to play through my laptop due to latency etc)
>>61921636
>>61921636
looks versatile and expensive. how many efx c an you have running at once? serial only or is there a parallel option?
>>61921686
I'm trying to listen the song now but it's literally doing nothing for me.
>>61921682
You're a true thug nigga
>>61921703
i cant think of anything that has the damp, decay, and cutoff type functions the VST has.
my ring thing produces sounds similar to what youve got going on there. as long as the blend is turned pretty far down.
the timbre of the vst sounds pretty chorussy to me. maybe theres a chorus out there with a bunch of extra tweak pots. fuck knows is right i guess
>>61921512
>>61921588
>>61921662
I'm conflicted, I need to study at Uni anyway so learning theory just makes my head explode, but maybe I should just get it over with and sit down for a few hours every day for a week or two.
>>61921770
Just get to the solo and listen to the best usage of wah put on a recording.
>>61921771
I'm not a wah'er
>>61921798
>Just get to the solo
I-Isn't that the entire song? :^)
>>61921801
No you're a wanker
Ok first time on this board since I'm starting to play guitar, and I wanted to ask something that has been boggling me, why are chords played the way they are? Like, if a C-maj consists of the notes C, E and G, how is it decided which exact C, E and G are played out on the guitar? (also I just took Cmaj as an example, now I'm confused as to why I'm strumming C E C)
>post gear
LTD EC-1000 & Schecter Hellraiser C1
Peavey 6534 & Orange amps
>post desired gear
nothing atm
>how long have you been playing?
close to 8 years now, started at like 11
>fav guitars?
Caparison Angelus
>Fav guitarists?
I'm young and i'm not into 80's stuff or whatever, bully me as much as you want, my favorite guitarists are Lee Malia & Misha Mansoor
>Projects?
nothing really, playing guitar is just a hobby, i just learn songs and play for fun
>>61921823
There's unisons and then seperate guitar and keyboard solos and then a bass break
>>61921833
>how is it decided which exact C, E and G are played out on the guitar
you can play them anywhere as long as it's the same octave
>>61921833
The chords you're learning are basically just for learning.
You can make those chords however you want on whatever part of the neck you want given the knowledge of how to finger it that way.
>>61921833
https://youtu.be/rZr5k1_9Dds
>>61921833
You're getting into phrasing , playing a specific note on a specific fret instead of elsewhere, example being playing A at the 5th fret on the low E/6th string as opposed to an open A on the A/5th string
>>61921833
you can play a c major triad wherever you want as long as you incorporate C, E, and G. the few different patterns in your chord dictionary are absolutely not the only ways to do it.
>>61921906
>>61921899
>>61921894
>>61921879
>>61921858
Well fuck, that makes sense indeed. Thanks guys.
>>61915343
GHS 11-50. D'Addario 11-52 when I can find them.
>>61921833
i think you're trying to ask a question about voicings and possibly inversions
the guitar is tuned in a way to make two full octave chord voicings easy to play. the CAGED system kind of goes into this, but you need to pay attention to the intervals and the way they change up the neck. different patterns create the same chord with different voicings up the neck.
>>61921844
also I use Ernie not even slinky strings but replaced the 6th with a D'Addario 72' on the EC-1000 and a D'Addario 80' (sometimes 64') on the Hellraiser
>>61921844
Post some pics of your rig? Sounds pretty cool.
>>61922096
What do you tune to with a gauge that thick lol?
>>61922159

>at girl's place right now, don't have access to pics :(
lmaoooo
Also that's a hugeass gauge for just dropped A. I only use a .56 on my 7 for dropped A/B standard and it's already tight.
>>61922427
well i might sound retarded but here goes my reason for using that kind of gauge
i was playing with like .56 and some 60's but i watched an interview with lee malia explaining his rig & he said he's using like .80's or something and I gave it a try, just to see what it feels/sounds like
it just sounds beefy as fuck, it's not about the tightness for me (ayy lmao), it just sounds really thick idk how to explain it
before
>>61921680
Yeah? The fuse is just there to say something's wrong.
This 'gera has hammed up biasing crap like a lot of new amps. You don't want this.
One of the knobs just broke. These are the worst knobs I've ever seen on an amplifier.
I got to play for a few seconds before it freaked out again. So I gotta fix the power amp then should be good to go.
>>61922478
Yeah I saw that interview, was his rig run down where he appeared for about a quarter of it then his tech was in it for the rest to explain the difficult stuff lol.
Yeah fair enough, personally I've always preferred the lighter gauges for B/A as it sounds a bit sludgier which is what I go for. Trick that the guitarist of Twelve Foot Ninja showed was that the lighter gauge strings are better for that "djent" tone. Although my 7 has a 26.5" scale so that helps a bit lol. More people prefer 60/62 for B and that usually, one of the main users here (Adelaide-bro with his Gibsons, Ibby K-7 and 70's Fender) uses something like that, hoping he'd respond but he's not online right now.
>>61922586

this will have character, but it's going to turn out cool.

too late for that ao nigga its already been done, that pic was from last night when I posted them here asking if i should try and keep the veneer (which meant keeping the knocks and dings) or just sand the nuts off of it revealing the wood difference underneathe.

>>61922738

>>61922738
JAMMIN MON
>>61922632
Yup, because BMTH, well Lee Malia writes a lot of single-string riffs (songs like Alligator Blood, Chelsea Smile) , the .80 sounds really beefy, that's why there is not need to up-gauge the other strings, since that thick gauge punch sound on the 6th is all what's needed.
I might sound completely dumb while explaining this, I can't really explain stuff when it comes to my guitar preferences and such
>>61922821
Yeah I'm familiar with a lot of their stuff and how it works for him.
Nah it's all preference man, like I prefer 7's necks to 6's for a lot of my music. Different strokes for different folks.
>>61922669
damn son it's really coming together. I didn't have much hope before.

Just had to stick at it. front and back need another coat and then the finishing oil goes on and the grain goes pop.
anybody play a prs? thinking about grabbing a seven string
For jazz do you prefer single coils or humbuckers? I love sc clarity but hbs seem to work better for single note lines.
>>61923504
They're pretty alright instruments, their SE series are your standard Korean guitars while the USA models are 10 outta 10.
I need a new delay pedal to replace my DD-3. Want to get something a little more interesting.
Which in the Memory Man series should I check out? Or what about the Black Fountain? I've heard great things about both.
>>61923692
>>61923504
For other decent 7's in that range look into the higher-end Schecters, LTD 1000 series/higher-end signatures. or look into used Ibanez Prestige/Signatures or used ESP Standards if you want a really nice guitar.
>>61923504
I want a carvin or ran for a 7 tbqh

Not much I can do if you don't have a copy of it. I'll check the music store (for books) next time I'm in the city, but I don't really have the time to trawl the net for a free copy.
>>61915343
D'Addario EXL158 13-62.
>>61916829
The main issue with more modeling amplifiers is they're worse than what already exists. No point hyping and releasing an inferior product.

Try this signal chain instead,
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)

>>61921844
>6534+
My secret weapon live for years has been a heavily boosted KT-77 loaded DSL with gain reduction on the second channel. I've been wanting to grab a 6534+ to do similar mods.
Transformer upgrade. NOS 12AX7s for the gain stages, add shielding, Sovtek LPS for the Phase Inverter, KT-77 swap (hence 6534), mod lead circuit back to 6505 specs, and remove some of the top end fizz.
>>61922427
>lso that's a hugeass gauge for just dropped A. I only use a .56 on my 7 for dropped A/B standard and it's already tight.
Not him but it isn't On a 25.5" a 56 in A is making ~11.7lbs of tension. That's anything but tight.
I mainly tune to B Standard, but if I stayed in A I'd be using a 68 for the lowest string.
>>61922632
I can work out tensions pretty quickly. A 68 or 70 is what I'd be using on a 25.5" for a low A.
Looking for clean boost that maintains low end. Want to slam the front end of a Marshall JCM 800, but my super od isnt cutting it. Never been a TS guy either. Should I just use and eq with gain and lows boosted? How the custom electronics gain boost?
>>61924500
TS-808 and JCM800 (2203/2204) is 'the' way to go. If you want more low end from a boost go for a silver mod TS-9/TS-808 from Analogman.
>>61924233
>D'Addario EXL158 13-62.
For standard tuning?
>>61924500
i'm jelly, you have the amp of my dreams
I've almost being playing guitar for 10 years and I have nothing to show for it. I wish I'd actually stuck in when I was a kid because I just suck now and I don't know how I could possibly get any better. I've been trying to teach myself to play everything from Spiderland and a few Fugazi songs recently but I just feel like even with practice I still sound like shit. I bought a Tele a few years ago when i decided I really wanted to get back into playing and I've realized now that Tele's are not really suitable for the type of music I like to play anyway. I've tried writing songs but I have no idea because instead of properly teaching me to play guiatar my teacher taught me fucking AC/DC songs which I have no idea how to even play now. Somebody please give me the motivation to even continue playing this thing.
>>61925783
buy more pedals
>>61925783
>Tele's are not really suitable for the type of music I like to play
tele's can go from country to metal and anything else in between, super versatile.
>>61925783
Buy a looper pedal. You'd be surprised how invigorating it can be for your playing.
>>61925783

I know this is a joke but I've never even bought a pedal before. I mean what sort of thing would be good for playing Fugazi stuff (songs from Repeater specifically).
>>61925929
I know but I hear all this shit about changing my pickups and I don't even know if I want to do that to my £700 guitar. I feel like I would just fuck it up.
>>61925931
Thanks for the suggestion.
>>61925945
I don't. I used to love playing guitar, especially when I got my Tele I really did love playing but things are different now. Don't think I've sat and just played for a few hours for a year now. I feel so uninspired. I never even played guitar ever to impress somebody, just to show myself I could get good at something when I was a kid but that never happened because I had such a shitty guitar teacher and eventually I just lost interest.
>>61926060
>Fugazi stuff
Overdrive, Reverb and a chorus and you can pretty much do fugazi all you like
>REPEATER
>>61926060
i used to play an unaltered 66 tele reissue in a hardcore/metal band, and it sounded just fine.
>>61926060
Also replacing pickups in a tele is pretty easy. There are lots of diagrams on seymour duncan

Thanks for the help, I'll have a look at what I can buy. Anything you would recommend in particular?
half of the arsenal
>>61926177
I personally love my OCD Fulltone, but you can't go wrong with a TubeScreamer. Honestly, just go to a guitar center and try a bunch of pedals. Don't necessarily feel the need to buy one right then, but figure out what you like/don't like.
But if you want a fugazi sound, a transparent OD would probably be up your alley.
Reverb and chorus are just preference
>>61926225
I don't really have a Guitar Center type place where I live unfortunately since our main music shop shut down. Thanks for the help though. Guess I'll just have to make a choice from watching Youtube videos or whatever.
>>61926264
>watching Youtube
if you can't get into a store, this is actually a really good option. There are lots of reviews of budget pedals you can buy on amazon. Best of luck to you!
>>61925857
>>61925931
This. I've been playing for 15 years and still suck. But I never don't have a good time messing around with pedals.
And because everyone else also wants pedals, you can usually get most of your money back on anything that you take care of. It's a pretty stable collecting hobby
