I posted at the end of the last thread so i'll ask again
Super noob question here, so today I got a Boss DD-3 that i ordered a few days ago. It was used and came with no power adapters so I used a spare that had the same volts, when I plugged the pedal in it made a horrible feedback thing on my amp and so I turned it off to try to fix the problem. When I went back to test the pedal gain and had everything plugged in the pedal would not turn on and now I get no response for it. What should I do?

You're not a true man if you don't play the fuzzy guitar.

The small black springs used to keep the tremolo on strats from moving keeps falling out of the hole on my tremolo block of my MIM strat. Are they just incompatible with my tremolo block or am I doing something wrong?

how can i create some harsh noise with my guitar?

>>69746449
By smashing it.

>>69746461
fair point, but that being said i want to create harsh noise without wasting $500+

>>69746489
You could always do the whole "stick my electric guitar right by the amp to create feedback" meme.

Also today was the first day I properly improvised a solo that didn't sound completely shit

>>69746489
4 store bought behringer distortion pedals will run you about a hundred bucks but you could probably make with two of them if your pickups are high output and your amp has a good amount of gain

I have the Boss DS-2 which is pretty classic, get the DS-2 over the DS-1 as they're identical but the DS-2 adds the option to add some extra mids to your tone, you can also get one pretty cheap second hand

If you have more cash the DOD Boneshaker is pretty brutal sounding

Another classic is the tube screamer, some people also recommend the Blues Driver but I think its a little light

If that's a picture of the actual guitar, it looks like it's in good shape, but there's no telling if the frets, truss rod, tuners and electronic work if you haven't tried it.
One neck pickup is tonally limiting, and the lack of an adjustable bridge makes for shitty intonation and action.

>>69746167
It would be pretty unusual for a Boss pedal to have a positive center pin.

>>69747201
Save you cash, if you want to learn guitar save for one that you wont want to replace right away, also, I get your trying to help but just report the tripfag for avatarposting and move on, if you reply it only encourages him

>>69747298
just make threads about drums daily and provided there are enough drummers in /mu/ it will catch on

i actually started /gg/ since guitar threads were scattered and 404d with few replies, and except for the occasional (though unfortunately recurring) tripfag cancer i'd say it worked out pretty well

getting a teacher is always the best option. if the 1st one doens't really click with you look for another one until you find someone who you're comfortable with

>>69747740
Use your ear or look at tabs and learn what you want to play
While doing that do a section of the justin guitar course every day or every other day

>>69747794
that seems like a pretty narrow and biased sample to generalize all professional guitarists and even when i looked it up the 1st video had a guy with a tube amp (guy from the contortionist).

>>69746574
How do you rate the Flashback? Was considering getting one to pair with my new Christmas toy and found decent deals on both the regular and x4 versions.

>>69747816
You would think metal guitarists would need a "real" valve amp more than most other styles because of how absolutely shitty digital high gain sounds.

So if anything that just reinforces the point

My stupid fucking Ibanez locking bridge is out of wonk and I cant find the tool to fix anything.

Is that the NVIDIA engineer who shared a laugh with a talk show audience about the 3.5GB?

>>69747872
Not used the 4x one, nor can I say I've used many different delay pedals, but I can say that I am very impressed with the Flashback, it was pricey but comes with loads of different modes and options, I do think that setting any of the knobs even a little based 12 o'clock does tend to make the pedal dominate over any other effect you many have on at the time, but otherwise its a very versatile box of tricks

>>69747900
Buy an allen key set

or do some risky shit like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqleaD3yYys

I'd go and buy the keys

>>69747872
I love my x4 but it has it's flaws. The digital knobs are all squishy and the toneprint app is a bit shite. I'd love if the looper was more capable of glitching stuff out like the line6 but it's pretty sensible. Mind I have the Alter Ego, so ymmv.

>>69747966
Shit, I do have a set. It's in my car though. Think I've given up for the night. Still have the ol' Squier in whatever retarded tuning I left it.

>>69745972
What's good /mu/? Check out this video I made of me playing my guitar :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOuWSc2og3g&t=5s

>>69746167
>>69746019
As far as any electronics, if they are polar sensitive (look at the plug, is it keyed so it only goes into the socket one way?) , if you reverse it, it could destroy the board... Usually by burning it... So stick your nose in there and smell. If it's smells burnt, the problem is you switched polarities by accident.

>>69747872
>>69747933
Quick follow up, there is one thing that drives me insane about the flashback, the switch you press to activate the pedal is soft, there is no solid click to let you know the pedal is on, I know thats personal preference but ever other pedal on my board click when activated apart from that one

>>69747996
Impressive technique but it gave me a headache and didn't sound great.

>>69748028
Doesn't bother me because the lights are usually pretty good feedback, but I can defiantly see how this would bug the shit out of someone else. Switches are a big complaint on TC pedals.

>>69747996
Sorry to say lad but this anon is right >>69748043

>>69748043
>>69748062
Why would you think the technique is impressive but not enjoy the performance? Technique means nothing and it's not even what I think about when I am playing. Maybe you should drink more water, it helps with headaches. Stay healthy my friends,

>>69748060
Its weird, because it such a minor thing, but the fact its the only one on my board that does that, it makes it standout and I'll forever second guess myself when using it, and it's odd that TC would go against the industry when they know that it will only serve to not phase some customers but will actively annoy others, still, I'm sure I can come to terms with it

How the hell do people play electric slide so cleanly? Try to play as deft as possible but still get horrible string buzz and off-pitches.

>>69748008
It never smoked or burned, I even checked its battery and it seems and smells fine, I'm not going to dare plug it in again until I have the proper adapter but the First time I plugged it in at least something happened and it lit up and had extremely noisy results, the second time I plugged it in nothing happened, so I'm very skeptical.

>>69748122
It's to do with how digital their pedals are. They use relays instead of switches, the buttons on the pedals just trigger the relay. It's how when you turn the pedal off it resets to default. It makes the pedals very versatile, but squishy switches and knobs are the tradeoff.

>>69748117
It's because you're not playing anything very musical. It's just a demonstration of your skills. I can't do a very good job of putting it into words, but you're just playing the technically impressive bits of songs, not an actual enjoyable song.

>>69748117
The figure taping and general shred you have going on is very impressive because we all know the sort of skill it takes to simply perform that action, unfortunately the skill is all for nothing if the end result doesn't sound good to the ear, I don't mean to attack you personal, musical enjoy is subjective, but just compare what you played to Eruption by Van Halen, He's using the same technique and arguably playing a much easier song, but when he plays is an iconic piece of music because it sounds right, whereas your performance comes off a little all over the place. You're clearly a very talented guitarist but I'm sure you know that some of the popular songs ever written are also some of the easiest to play

>>69748180
Put a battery in it. I doubt you fried the circuit unless your power supply was a piece of shit. Make sure you've got the leads going in the right directions. I've embarrassed myself a few times that way.

/gg/'s opinion on BIAS FX ? Is it good or is it just a meme?
I'm a student living in a uni dorm right now so I can't crank up an amp, all I want is a nice tone to practice at home so thought about getting this BIAS FX software + a cheap interface, will this do?

Also planning to get in a band soon. I guess for that I'd need a real amp right? feels bad man, I have no money I can't afford both

>>69748283
Pirate whatever you can. Get a cheap audio interface. Like really cheap. If it sounds good to you, and it's making you practice, it's doing the job.

>>69748283
you're not actually thinking about paying for bias are you?

>>69748306
>>69748314
Yeah I saw cracked versions on the internet. Are they legit? I mean, do you get the same thing as if you paid for it?

So all I'd need to buy is an interface then. cool

>>69748387
If you're not on a pirate tracker, they might not be legit. This may not be the right place to ask, and I've not downloaded anything cracked in ages; but yeah, interface is the priority as you can't usually download one.

>>69748256
said it before but it holds true

clapton, one of the best guitarists in history builds his pieces around very simple riffs and solos that rarely stray out of an octave. I suck at it but half the art of guitar is simply knowing when to play

>>69748387
Shit, totally didn't answer your question. They'll be the same software, but they might be virus infested.

>>69748444
Fucking "private tracker" is what I meant to say. Time for bed.

>>69748445
If we're being pretentious and quoting famous people, I think pink Floyd once said something to the effect that there was a lot of skill involved in knowing when not to play, and not feeling the need to fill ever gap in a song, and tributes a lot the success of Dark side of the moon to mastering this idea

Thanks to you guys

Is there an order I should follow when practicing my chords?

Why is metal considered juvenile but rap and top 40 radio shit is not? Almost every song on the radio is about sex or drugs or irresponsible behavior but that's not considered immature?

>>69748387

the key is to not use one distinct thing so listeners can just point and say "oh hes using a helix" you blend your sound so it sounds more organic and interesting

I have a question about pickups.

So I own this peavey predator with the pickup set up as in pic. I've been looking to upgrade them, and while looking I found a slanted humbucker by Seymour Duncan made specifically for Epiphone Nighthawks. When I took apart my Peavey I realized the bridge was actually two single coil pickups. So I'm wondering whether I could put in that Nighthawk humbucker or would that fuck up the wiring for the switches?

Watch it done properly

Rowe isnt harsh noise. Sex Bruises is harsh noise.

>>69751646
I know, Harsh Noise is hack tier garbage.

>>69751677
They are different things that people enjoy.

>>69751195
Yeah

If the demo version and the non-demo version have the same tones you can just copy the tone presets and the json file over

But if they differ you need to copy the tone preset then look at the preset.json of the demo version and add that tone's json entry into the non-demo version's preset.json

To add an entry you need to put a comma after the last entry and increment display order by 1(or just paste it if it's the first)

Here's an example

The fuck did I just watch. They don't actually think that's music, do they?

>>69751452
The humbucker is just a normal f-spaced humbucker. Its just slanted in the pickguard. If you want to replace is with any other humbucker, you probably just have to Dremel tool the pointy bits in the middle of the pickguard hole.

>>69751936
Its harsh noise. Theyve played gigs all over the world.

>>69751615
>>69751476
I'd prefer to lose my hearing to something with more meaning

>>69751936
I hope not. I can understand people liking these sort of things, but I wouldn't classify this as music

>>69751966
..and McDonalds serves their garbage food in Siberia, what's your point?

>>69752042
Just because people dont understand it, doesnt mean its not worth doing or preforming. It was an example for the anon who wanted to do guitar harsh noise.

>>69752028
I don't even understand how people can like it tbqhwyfam

Are these really even live "shows"? Looks to me like they're just set up on someone's living room table.

>>69751463
I feel like this was initially intended as a joke and people took it seriously and then it snowballed from there.

>>69752148
Guitar players are easily trolled. I bet most of them dont even gig.

Is the mesa boogie mini-rectifier worth the money?
There's a lot of hype around it, and the demos of it sound okay. Is it a good bedroom amp?

>>69752099
What about all the people who do understand it and decided to correctly label it as the garbage it is, which would make it not worth doing or preforming? Hmmm?

Should I be able to play the changes when the chord changes every two beats, or should I just settle for noodling in the overall key of the progression?

>>69752191
no, get the blackstar ht1

Clapton is overrated as fuck. Most of his songs are 80 year old blues songs. He plays tired old blues pentatonic scale based solo crap in the middle of them.

What's the difference between a small child and a bag of cocaine?

Eric Clapton never let a bag of cocaine fall out the window.

I have a question about Reaper. Every 10 minutes or so the program makes a really distorted fizzy sound and I have to close and reopen it to get rid of it. Is this because I don't have the license and I just use the trial version?

"Tired old blues" was me being nice about it. I'll summarize it better, just for you. The songs he wrote himself suck ass. There's literally thousands of guitarists way bettet than him that never listened to him at all. Not to mention he's douchebag, cried cuz Hendrix upstaged him, stole his friends ugly wife, let his kid fall out the window and die then capitalized on it by writing a song anyone with a conscience or feelings would never be able to bring themselves to play live. And that song is shitty, too. He's a hack. If you can't see he's an unoriginal hack you should just quit music right now, seriously.

>>69753150

How do I write songs?
I pick a scale, create some chord progressions, strum and then I make something that sounds very simple. Is there anything that helps with writing songs?

out of curiosity how do you refinish guitars? Sand, paint, poly, sand, polish?

>>69753974
it'll be my first time but yeah basically.
i bought paint stripper. gonna take everything apart, slather that one, chisel it all off. sand the shit outta it. paint it, sand, and lacquer

>>69754003
so you're gonna do all this instead of practicing, right? oh yeah sounds like a good use of your time

>>69754044
yeah, gotta redo the nut and adjust the action on it as well. it'll also stop me from wasting money on a new guitar for no reason

After lots of considerations, I am thinking on getting the Laney ironheart 60. The cleans and distortion are to die for. Super versatile to boot, and I can control the volume to be able to play in my bedroom. Wish me luck lads!

>>69754113>>69754119

Okay, you haven't answered my question tho. I haven't bought it yet, I just really liked the sound of the Irt studio, and thought that I might as well get the big brother. I like how every channel has separate eq, and a boost. So which other amp would you recommend good sir?

>>69754297

"If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may feel a sense of entitlement — and when you don't receive special treatment, you may become impatient or angry. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — for instance, the best car, athletic club or medical care.
At the same time, you have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation. To feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make yourself appear superior. Or you may feel depressed and moody because you fall short of perfection."

does this sound like crazyfaga to anyone else?

I don't get why you're convinced that modeling amps are tailor-made for those people, and if you want modern metal tones that use tube amps then listen to Gojira or the newest Meshuggah album.

>>69755649

>>69755654
go take a chill pill. you fake amp fags crying like bitches whenever somebody knowledgeable mentions how your fake amps sound like shit doesn't instill much confidence in your claims of tonal equality between shitty digital amps and the real thing

>>69755649
>>69755696
Maybe should actually try A/Bing one of them with a tube amp while running both on cabinets instead of just assuming that they all sound like Line 6 red beans.

The anon who said about selling his Kemper for a new amp didn't say he hated it, he just thought that he wasn't using its purpose a lot, which is cloning tones from actual amps rather than emulating them from scratch a la most modelers.

In my point of view, Kempers should be used for live performances because it's easier to carry them around than a heavy amp head, which you keep in the studio for recording.

>>69752918
kek srv was better

https://youtu.be/t9eRJTitDbA

>>69755696
"Tonal equivalent" lmao, alright dude. Any band that actually has a decent following (i.e. not your shitty stoner/shoegaze/emo/whatever the shit you listen to) uses modelling amps.

Not him but I bought a Kemper a few months a go because it was supposed to replicate my Mesa and my Twin. Long story short, it didn't even come close to either in a direct comparison so I returned it.

It's all good to fall for advertising and aggressive sales tactics but it's another thing when the product falls short in the field.

I can tell you Kemper is garbage from personal firsthand experience.

Did you create your own profile or did you download one from someone else? It would be better if you had done the former, which would require a lot of details on micing up the cabinet speaker to make it sound good.

>>69755772
Bill Kelliher uses an Axe FX for his live effects now though and their tone isn't very digital sounding.

>>69755815
Are you just going to laugh at people instead of bringing up a point? You should realize that tube purists like yourself also behave in the same way almost 99% of the time.

>>69755831
Yeah, and the profile sounded like ass when compared directly to amp I was trying to model. It wasn't even close.

>>69755781
What were you playing through? A big part of getting a good sound is going through a good set of speakers, preferrably an FRFR set up.

Even the veritable corksniffer Rob Chapman has said he's switching to Kempers because of how portable they are

yeah have fun chasing your tone dickwad :') maybe when you can actually play guitar you'll have something to say.

i actually saw a band play the other using line 6s and you know what? No one in the audience cared. It's almost like music is about... music.

They didn't say about the Axe FX though and you consider it a fake amp. The Kemper's more likely to sound more shit because you're literally using a piece of recording as a guitar tone.

Haa ha ha! You know what, I'm sure this is 100% true! I can see it now: an audience full of bored people listening to a bunch of retards play Metallica covers with their Line 6 Spiders! Haa ha ha ha, you sure proved you point!

What's your examples of digital amp not being good? Or are you just going to keep up the fake retard act?

>b-b-because
lmao fake amp fags just can't win

>>69756004
And there goes the assumption that only metal bands use Spider amps and not people with a lack of budget to buy a higher-end amp.

See >>69755781. Pay attention please.

hmmmm

Sorry you got duped by an advertising campaign, Anon. Better luck next time.

So one person vs. multiple artists who have been using tube amps for years. No one here's trying to claim that modelers are superior, they just work to sound as good as tube amps. You should follow that most modeling tones wouldn't exist without tube amps so of course the other one have to coexist.

Is your argument just going to be "haha fake amps" without any accomplishment?
