Here's my rig. Can now play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on this bad boy.

>>723496663
When I started playing guitar, MIM starts were $350-$400 at most. As a guitar tech by trade, I can say there's almost no difference between MIA and MIM aside from stock electronics. Walk into a store now and MIM strats are $750. Fender caught on.

Nobody gives a fuck about a musicians gear. It's all about the music itself.

That's a big advantage if you do not have a lot of money and only work with the essentials which you become pro of handling it.

But it's a big disadvantage if you got too much money and waste it on stupid fucking gear and say "look all the shit I wasted my money on" and want anons to approve.

I got a lot of gear, too, but only stuff I actually need. Some decent monitors, two mics for different situations, midi-keyboard, interface and ableton. But I don't tell anyone just for the sake of fucking telling it. Because my music is still shit.

Fuck off. I don't like you.

I don't produce music or even plan on it.

>>723495259
Nice rig

>>723498039
Because I recently sold my block letter 5150 2x12 combo in favor of the Sunn Beta Lead. I told myself I don't really play metal anymore but all my friends are still Djentfags and hardly play anything clean so I went on a "amp in a box" quest and this pedal absolutely destroyed the dozens of others I've tried, from on the wall to boutique. Funny thing is, it's made by the same engineers that made the original 5150. Also the purple pedal is a Marshall JCM 900 Gain channel in a box so it fits perfectly for saturated doom shit.

>>723499283
I play mostly ambient post-rock and post-hardcore stuff, along the vein of Caspian and Circa Survive. I used to play Djent/metalcore stuff but quickly grew out of it. I still have my 8 string though.

>>723500287
>getting Rokits as HiFi System

are you retarded? I understand getting studio monitors as playbacksystem, they sound great. But fucking rokits? I listened to them in a big music store in reference with like 20 other pairs installed right there.

I literally laughed my ass off when I switched to the rokits. Don't understand why people keep on buying these

>>723495259

Yeah, actually. I was lucky enough to get 90% of this board at the used price, with a lot of money saving. I'd get an analog delay, but the Obscura models them pretty damn well so I'm really happy with it.
Here's my old rig when I was a doomfag. I don't have a picture without the edgy filter, sorry.

>>723501248

In comparison with all monitors around the same price section, these are the most colored. It's okay if you want Hifi, Hifi is considered colored sound. But why put extra money into the "flatness" of speakers, if they aren't fucking flat? Also the color itself sounds like shit in my opinion. Boxy as hell, a lot of shit going on in the 400-600 Hz range. But that's just my taste, despite of the mentioned arguments.

>ITT: nobody knows what AmpliTube is and where to get it for free

>>723501688
I don't know what coloured sound is.

>>723500806
neat. ambient/ postrock was my second guess

>>723501843
I've tried every modeling program there is. BIAS, Amplitube, Guitar Rig, Pod Farm and Revalver. None of them were my thing and it's so much easier to just plug my board/amp in and start rocking instead of waiting for my PC to turn on, configure ASIO drivers, fight latency, etc, etc.

>>723501943

Typical systems considered as Hifi have influence on the original sound of the audio. They're built in a way that (in 99% of all Hifi cases) the lows (bass) and the highs are louder than the rest of the frequencies.

But If you're producing music, you need your playback system to be completely neutral. You need to hear what the track actually sounds like in its true nature. If your speakers have amplified bass and you produce music, the finished track may have way too less bass on other systems, because you made it too quiet. So you buy studio monitors that have a flat frequencie response.

Everything not flat is colored.

>>723502192
You have a point with the analog gear being easier and faster to use. But the versatilty you get with digital sound is unbelievable. I'd never buy any analog amp (except for live purposes) because you're stuck to it. And if you know your shit, digital sound can rock. Hard.

>>723502192

also you don't need to fight latency with a simple usb interface, even a cheap one works here. And once you got into how your plugin works, it's getting pretty easy to have nice sound.

>>723502925
So you're saying it's too "hifi" or too flat?

I bought them expecting clarity and got that.

They're cream pickups.

>>723503445

Nothing is too hifi or too flat if it sounds like the way you like it. I'm just saying that rokits are build to be flat, and building speakers to be flat costs money. You paying money for speakers to be flat that are far away from being flat.

So why don't you safe all the money wasted in false flatness and go get some hifi that do a way bigger step into the "clarity" you're talking about?

The coiled cable is fucking retarded. I'm betting your dad played in the mid '80s and that's a left over of his.
Nothing really objectionable here, honestly. You need a volume pedal (I'm assuming that's a wah).

>>723504004
TBH the whole system was more than I wanted to spend (was thinking ~ $800 inc DAC), but it's very pretty and sounds great.

>>723495259
Not a bad setup. How is the Sunn? I've never really dicked around with one long enough to formulate a good opinion.

Also, no pics because I'm a fag and my rig is completely dismantled right now, but my shit is as follows:

Amp- Mesa F100
4x12 recto cab

Very watered-down and simplistic, but she sounds loud and mean for the styles that I usually play.

Effects/pedals-
Boss Chromatic Tuner
Boss DD7 (delay)
Boss PS3 (phaser)
Boss TR2 (trem)
Boss BF3 (flanger)
Ibanez TS9 (TUBE FUCKIN' SCREAMER)
Digitech Whammy
Morley Bad Horsie 2 wah
EB Volume/Pan

There's a bunch more random shit that I have and dick around with from time to time, but that's a majority of what I've been using lately.

There is not one single redeeming feature of this rig. It is pure amateur crap and shampoo the jizz off your carpet your fucking disgusting faggot.

Did you copy that verbatim from gearslutz?

>>723504466
>sounds great

I bet it actually does. Even rokits aren't cheap speakers, they're just losing against the others in their price range. Could have the same clarity with way less money invested or way better sound with the same price.

For how long do you own these?

totally depends on what amp you're playing through

it's definitely not going to make a shitty amp sound like a plexi

>>723506117
What do you already have?

>>723506192

like I told you lad, it actually kills a nigger when being used. But you got to be careful with switching it too fast for extinction purposes, because above a certain rate (I think the last paper I read about it said 3,14 per second) the effects turns upside down and gives birth to little nigglets.

>>723504459
It's an in/out of phase switch for the neck pickup, which I stay on a good 80% of the time. And yeah, I bought the cable during year 1 of my guitar playing because I believed the dumbass "vintage/reissue styled gear is better" idea. It kinda gets in the way for anything but bedroom playing.

>>723504525
I like the Sunn, but they hype over them is just that. Hype. Doom players wet themselves over the distortion when dimed but it's honestly not my thing at all. The 2 12" speakers are at a 45 degree angle towards each other so the sound is "caved in" if that makes sense. It's lightweight, stupid fucking loud and stays clean when cranked so for $350 I'm not mad about it. Have you modded your Boss pedals yet? My board has a "bass chorus" on it, but it's actually a CH-1 that the original footpad got lost to. It has the Wampler depth mod that gets super watery and washy. It's great.

>>723505312

Yup. With 2 different channels so 2 people can plug in at once (one through each 12") or I can stack the channels.

>>723501688
Well in that price range you're not going to find anything completely flat anyway. It's more about finding something with you like to work

>>723507700
More like: you're not going to find anything completely flat in any existing price range. I agree. But for their price you could definitely get flatter monitors. Or better sounding hifi. These rokits don't have any right to be, that's my only point.

>>723500878
Cheap things are cheap.
That's the only reason.

>>723507548
Strats are more versatile than teles base on sheer variety of tones. That said, a good tele with a tappable humbucker has a better lead tone.
going to 24 frets will fuck up your neck pickup sound. It's still a usable sound, but it's not as good as the classic single coil under the 3/4 harmonic. there's a reason almost every 24 fret guitar is HH.
>>723507560
