Which of these fret polish cloths do you think is better? Dunlop 65 Micro Fret Polishing Cloth or Planet Waves Polishing Cloths?

If your frets need polishing (which they 99% likely don't) just use some fine steel wool like a normal person.

You're lucky dude, thats a sick guitar. If anything just change out the pickups, but it should work as it is. I'm pretty sure Code Orange is another HM-2 core band, just get one of those.

right? love it to death. got it for free after some dude at an acquaintances apt. building abandoned his apartment to go to japan

Guitar rig is easy to pirate.
Ableton has some weird built in effects I haven't tried on guitars yet too, but it's a DAW.

>>70372697
It works fine for guitar recording, I just find the click very annoying in it.
It is however better suited for electronic, but IMO that just makes working with synths or drum machines easier.

That's a shame. I understand it's a shop but playing guitar isn't like most hobbies and it's nice to try things you don't have the money for yet. Usually when I try guitars in shops with my dad they are fine but people have been funny with me when I've been on my own. The worst is trying to bargain with people when you look about 12.

this so much. i used to enjoy having my white wife gangbanged in front of me by members of ethnic minorities, but then i stopped playing guitar physically and not only did my penis grow by 10 inches (erect), i no longer derive pleasure from cuckoldry.

i started by taking pedals out of the chain, first a compressor, then the overdrive, delay, mod, etc... finally i was playing clean for a couple months until they cut the power from not paying the bills and i didn't even notice, so i kept playing unamped. at a certain point my fingers were exhausted and nearly deformed and changing strings became such a big distraction from practice that i stopped physically playing and just kinda kept going in my mind.

these days i just sit in a comfortable position, close my eyes and am able to achieve advanced meditational status within minutes. i then pick up my perfectly neutral allegorical guitar and practice emotionlessly while my wife rides my engorged cock until exhaustion from multiple orgasms at least 5 times a day.

I had a Memphis copy Les Paul back in 2006, It was beat up and I didn't know the value so I gave it to my friend. Wish I still had it now since Im good at repairing old MiJs especially Tesicos. he sold it for pot and plays stoner metal on an Epi SG.

don't change strings

detune your strings until they are flopping like crazy, and then pop them like Stanley Clarke 20-30 times each string.

after that, get a shirt or microfiber cloth, soak it with high % alcohol or acetone, and rub down each string. dry, then tune up again and you're good to go

Guys help me please, I need one specific toneoil and tonecloth to clean the tonefrets and tonewood on my Gibson® Custom Shop® Les Paul Custom™. Of I don't use exactly one specific brand of toneair while breathing on my guitar I'll lose ten atoms of tonefinish and one picosecond of sustain. Could anyone recommend me something totally different that I didn't ask for?
At least I don't play the thing. Can you imagine how much tone my sweaty fingers and body fat would leach out?

cuts out excess noise that your pickups collect.

First of all pedals

Putting the noise gate after compression and/or distortion (the ones that affect it most) will worsen the gate's effect as they decrease the noise/signal ratio

Valvekings are basically a jack of all trades, but master of none. They are great if you play a little bit of everything, but its better to find an amp that does what you need perfectly if thats not the case.

Isnt this what theyre calling moshcore now(breakdown or downtempo centric hardcore like terror or madball)? I saw a lot of dudes using emgs back then with 5150s. The snowflakes used blackouts, or ibanez actives(ughhhhh). Any high output pick up will give you what they want. I honestly really like that guitar. Id buy it from you if you were close.

Boss power adapters are reverse polarity. If you use the wrong one, it will work for a little while and eventually ruin the pedal.

you'll want one eventually. for now if i were you i'd just stick to batteries, don't bother with daisy chaining crap. get the main pedals you want, use batteries, then get a power supply.

>>70379046
I bought one off of Amazon for like $50 and it works fine. No noise and still works fine after a year

I've heard chorus and other pedals eat through batteries after about an hour or so though. I've got a fuzz which is fine, but I'm worried about that in the future.

>>70379142

Mind telling me which one?

>>70379187
some pedals eat batteries fast, yes. distortion/overdrives/fuzzes don't use that much power, but delay pedals will eat through them within a few hours of use.
