I got a peavy vip2. It's pretty solid for a modeling amp. It's about 250 to 300. You can get the vip 1 for less, it just does less stuff

>>69879591
Dont be retarded, thats a 7 string. 7 strings are used for numetal, which is objectively worse than djent because it has rapping.

>>69879826
The idea of the genre is interesting, the issue is the bands who re-hash the same stuff over and over again without any kind of creativity. Even Meshuggah's partly guilty of that.

>>69879833
as if every erg player actually uses the extended range and doesn't see the instrument as "I can chug and I can wank"

>>69879953
I said that as the only gripe, I never said it sounded subpar. what I was saying is for the price, the body is outstanding. I would only replace the pickups to turn a ~300$ guitar into a near ~700$ tier guitar. The stock pickups don't sound terrible they just could be better.

>>69880267
It all really depends on the person you are commissioning it from. Usually it's a small team or just one dude. Some are upwards of 1200$+ and there's no limit to how high it can get. And it also takes into play what you want on the guitar.

>>69880487

How's the vip2 as a bass amp?

Korean deans are more common so it would probably be Soon-Yu Kim that pressed the button.

>for the price
I mean I would compare my $600 dean to pretty much any guitar up to double that price. I'm one of those people that obsessively compares before they buy. The sam ash and guitar center employees didn't even bother greeting me after the 4th consecutive day of coming in to test shit.

If I could afford a USA Hand made custom guitar I would've bought one. but theres no use comparing a factory made guitar to a hand built one. Pretty much anything new in a store under 1500 is factory made.

>>69880656
About £400ish IIRC, shipped from an Italian music store. There were cheaper ones at the time on Reverb but the sellers were too shit at communication to deal with. Pressie from the waifu, we each both chose a main gift to get eachother.

The gain is tight and smooth with responsive mids control, and there's a ton of it on tap with the boost engaged, although it's loud as hell. Cleans are lovely too if you specifically dial in that type of sound, but responds very well to actually using the guitar to fiddle with tones.

Now to start building a pedalboard to go with it.

>>69881137
>>69881089
It's definitely real, they don't make copies of the Howard Roberts model. The original pickups were so bad(490set), but it sounds good with the Tom Holmes pickups I put in.

Just not the level of craftsmanship you would expect from a guitar that was supposed to be one of their higher end semihollows. I recently played a Japanese Dangelico semihollow that's around the same price and it's so much better, kind of shameful for Gibson desu

>>69881214

>>69881214
Reverb usually goes at the very end of the chain so that every part of your signal is affected by it. The only other pedal I would put after a reverb is a delay or other time based pedal (looper/stutter/glitch pedal)

You can experiment but putting reverb before most pedals usually ends up in a muddy mess

>>69881252
every string gauge branding is retarded, they don't take in account scale lenght/tuning, and taste.

>>69881289

bass amps are expensive but they are worth it

about effects, i use a multi fx but if i were buying pedals i'd get MXR bass pedals. very few "bass" effects manufacturers actually throw in useful features, but the MXR bass compressor, envelope filter, chorus deluxe, fuzz deluxe, and their bass line in general have been pretty great in that respect.

I'm going into a noise rock direction with my guitar playing. What are some pedals you would deem necessary for achieving a messy, thick sound with feedback all over the place?

Why/when would you put an effects pedal in the front of your amp vs the back?
Pedal noob here trying to get educated.

>>69881911
all of them

>>69881920
In the back when using your amps natural distortion

>>69881911

>>69881911

>>69881911
Fuzzes and metal zones. Put an oscillating pedal early in the chain so it gets distorted and indistinguishable. Use fuzzes that dont take away low end. Basically anything that accentuates uncomfortable lows and squelching highs.

Yup. The twin reverb was made in a time when you needed a an amp loud enough to fill a 2000 seat room without a PA.

It plays fine, it just kind of looks dirty contrasted with the pure white finish the guitar has.

Hey /gg/ I'm moving into a new apartment soon and I need something I can use to practice guitar in my room with headphones without disturbing my roommates. I mostly play blues and rock and unfortunately playing without headphones isn't really an option. What do you guys recommend?

How the hell do I do chords that require me to barre with my middle/ring finger when my fingers aren't flexible and don't bend at all in more than one direction?

djent is about boosting the shit out of mids though, that's how you get that nauseous tone

>>69883857
The very fact that you can even play guitar means you're better than like 75% of people out there. Getting better isn't about how you rank compared to others, it's about learning how to play what you want to hear.

Is it possible to use a volume pedal to gain more control over a loud as fuck amp? A solid state, not a tube.

Say I have a 100+ watt amp that I want to use, but the master volume is super touchy, and it's hard to get it at that sweet spot where it's a reasonable volume. Would a volume pedal achieve this goal?

Thanks for the support, I've only been playing a short time (11 months), it feels like you get theses peaks where you think "Fuck yes, I'm so good at guitar" and then these lows of "I'll never be as good as X famous person", I just keep plodding along playing every single day, I'll get better over time

>>69883955
I have a Pod HD and use it a lot for headphone playing, plus you can use it to record as well.

>>69883981
It's just something you have to get over, I mean the fact that you're still playing past a month speaks volumes. You just gotta learn to play for yourself.

But keep practicing to at least maintain your skill level, what you're feeling right now is NOTHING compared to the feeling of "I used to be able to play this easily, what's wrong with me?"

>>69884016
I read somewhere at 90% of people quit guitar after the first year, so it feels pretty good to know I'm a little over a month away from not being a part of that group, and I think the thing about playing for yourself is really important, I'm we all have dreams we'll be rock gods, standing on stage in front of millions playing sick guitar solos while fans scream your songs, but thats probs not going to happen for any of us, but I guess I could settle for just feeling satisfied I got good at something people send their live's trying to master

Though switching between that neck and frets and normal sized necks and frets will throw you off for a week or two of interchanging between them

But overall it's pretty good

>>69884106
if you get past the first year i'd say there's probably an 70% chance you'll play for life, the correct notes to play in solos will just seem to come naturally and even though you won't be eddie van halen or steve vai you'll still be pretty fucking good

Crybaby wah
Distortion DS-2
Overdrive SD-1
JB Flanger

The distortion ped is a meme which I'll never use. The rest I fucking love.

How exactly would I go about creating a punchy, high gain tone that isn't distorted. Think American idiot album for reference (inb4 green gay). So basically a crunch tone with heavy mids.

I'm a lefty too. Playing like a non-spazz merely means a generally stronger legato and maybe a weaker picking hand when you start out. With proper practice it will balance out properly and you won't get shafted on sweet aesthetic instrument deals in the future.

Its a solid state amp, so no it will not suck tone. The effects loop will places the pedal between the preamp and poweramp. Even on a tube amp it wouldnt really suck tone unless you have the master cranked and are getting the powertubes to overdrive

>>69886688
No master volume on a twin reverb. The volume knob past about 1 and a half and the amp blows your head off
