Checkin in.

Just ordered me one of these. Cost me a thousand didgeridoollars (AUD). They are usually about 1500 here so that is a bargain.

Coming from a beat-up M-300FM with a piece of shit floyd rose special. Gonna be good to get my hands on a decent fixed bridge for once. What a pain that FR was.

Whoa. I heard the AD140 has tonnes of volume on tap. I've always liked Orange into Marshalls and vice versa, two very different, but pleasing sounds in their own way.

I'm a big fan of solid states and EMGs and would love to get my hands on a CR120 head and run it through pretty much the same cabinet.

Explain me the difference between contemporary Mustangs and Duo-sonics.

Guys, I need some help with amp modelling here.

I'm using a somewhat old Tascam interface to run my guitar through amplitube, using their Tiny Terror amp, and using impluses from Red Wirez.

Thing is, I'm not getting a very good sound from this. I'm not sure what I'm fucking up but it seems that I can't crank up the input level too much or it clips like hell, but using lower input makes the distortion sound really weak, and I'm leaving the gain knob on max.

Now, I'm an absolute beginner in this, and I was under the impression that clipping in this case is something that I shoud avoid like the plague, so I need some pointers to get a better sound from this.

>>70738104

>>70738880
Probably. Check all wiring for loose or missing connections.

>>70738363
Just be relaxed and listen to what the other guys are doing. Loads of guitarists try to do their "style" during a jam and really everyone else wants you to complement the song they are playing. Also giving people a cue when it's their time to solo helps.

>>70738906
No soldering iron and solders, I will have to bring this to the shop tomorrow.
Actually even if I did have those I have been traumatized by electricity that I do not want to do any of that shit myself.

What? You mean price wise? You having a laugh mate.

An ESP Viper will set you back 2000 on-wards for Japanese variants and up to 5000 buckaroonies for USA models. An M-II? 2700/6000 respectively. It's ridiculous money for not much more than what you get with an LTD model.

Prices are going to be hiked up come June or July or whenever it is, because they start taxing imports with GST or something. So fellow ausfags, I suppose if youre thinking of buying international, better do it soon. I always find local is more or less on par with international sellers once you factor in intl. postage.

Poor old vipers get no love and absolutely horrid designs sometimes. I don't understand why no high profile artist has ever really sported one besides James Hetfield (very rarely) and Pepper Keenan. There is a lot to like. Much thicker than an SG (if that's what you're going for) and something like a1000 series LTD is on par with an SG Standard for a lot less money.

anyone got a link for more impulse responses other than the ones linked in the op? preferably better quality

>>70739272
probably because the slightly offset sg shape looks completely retarded. i would probably want one otherwise but i could never get over it looks melted or defective

>>70739272
Yeah that's more than what I'd pay here in yurop.

>>70739340
I agree, I don't like the sg design to begin with and the offset makes it worse

>>70737684
do the guys at FCS just try to outdoi each other at making guitars with the least favorable taste to expense ratio?

>>70739709
this is more of a RG/Strat chimera in my opinion

it doesn't have the pointy horns and headstock of an RG, the pickguard and controls are similar but still in line with schecter's other stuff. other than the pickups, everything else is stratocaster.

if they'd used a better typeface for the headstock it would be perfect IMO

What makes a guitar baritone. Is it the actual neck length or just the number of frets?

>>70740138
Absolutely. The point gives you more control, but it's not super sharp like some other picks so it still glides nicely. Just compare your tremolo technique with it and you should notice right away

>>70740207
Scale.

>>70740076
My buddy got me into Jazz picks, so I use those and most often the TORTEX Jazz III, so much so that I've actually beveled it.
The John Petrucci pick is pretty kick as too, same friend gave me one, and I really dig it.

>>70740207
>actual neck length

Yes. The scale length. 24.7 is short/gibson, 25.5 is standard, 27-30 is baritone, though short scale basses run at 30 usually. 34 is the more common bass scale, with a few 35 inch ones made here and there.

>>70740076
I like Jazz III's but I think Fender Heavy's are better toanpicks.

>>70740076

What's the material of those tortex picks anyway?

I'm not mental about my picks, I've got a lot of different ones (mostly dunlop tortex)

But today I was gigging and took the pick of a friend that looks like mine without realizing it.
I felt like someone killed my neck pickup.
And had trouble finding this little piece of shit culprit.

What is it with strings that wear out?

I just replaced my strings and they just sound so sexy, I can't pin point what it is but they lose it after a while

>>70740745
They become dull and worn out, nothing like a new bright set of strings to bring your guitar back to life.

>>70740745
Use elixir nanoweb coated strings. I can fly all around the guitar neck pretty quickly and they last longer. Thought it was a meme but they are good strings.

...Tortex
It's just some special kind of plastic that's trying to mimic tortoise shell. To me the best thing about it is how firm and smooth the edges are when they wear down. Regular nylon picks erode like shit, Tortex always has a nice edge.

imagine only having two fingers

you could play basic two finger shit and be called a god who overcame life obstacles

but no im a regular jack off with 5 fingers who has to play good to get recognised

He was the reason Tony Iommi didn't give up on guitar after losing parts of his fingers in a factory accident.

I started playing guitar a few months ago, but I've been playing on a shitty starter guitar that I got for like 90 bucks. I want to upgrade to something, but nothing a guitar 'meant for beginners'. What should I be looking for?

>>70741232
Just strum 16th notes (4 strums per beat) and accent (strum harder) the first of the 4 strums, so your strums will sound like ONE e and a TWO e and a THREE e and a FOUR e and a.

Just alternate strumming down and up. DOWN up down up DOWN up down up DOWN up down up DOWN up down up, etc.

>>70741461
What style do you intend to play and what's your budget?

>>70740875
did they stop doing the VM? it was pretty kickass for a squier

>>70741498

I've been playing mostly rock, but would like to a bit heavier music when I get better. Budget would be about 500.

>>70741461
You should go play on stuff at the store. Honestly find something that you like, the weight, see how it feels when you play a few chords/scales, etc.

>>70741471
Sweet
But are there any different right hand techniques?
In a live video, I saw him doing some oscillation thing with his thumb, index and ring finger

>>70741546
go to the store, try out guitars and play several types on them.

avoid cliches. pick a guitar you fall in love with and learn to play like the guitar intended.

as a kid i found a jaguar custom. ten years later, im only just learning how that guitar is meant to be played.

What us a good capo for a wide neck? Is the dunlop ok, or is there a better one?

>>70742651
What'd you get

why are all guitar teachers fairly casual when it comes to finger placement. like if you can play the chord with any fingers it's okay for the most part

but they are incredibly hung up about alternate picking

double standards...

>>70742651
What did you get and how much?

>>70742752
put yourself in the teachers shoes. he knows you're gonna finger the chords however the fuck you feel like til you learn the proper way by force. guy doesn't feel like arguing with 16 year olds that wanna be different all day.

but without getting through with alternate picking, you'll get nowhere. that's a hole in your technique that'll linger forever.

>>70741234
seconded

>>70742591
Yes. It sounds different. Not better or worse. The octave in say a tone machine isn't adjustable. It's there, and how much it's there is dependant on components in the circuit and the signal going in. With an octave fuzz you might hear more octave if you pick harder, or if you're playing in a certain frequency range it might be more distinguishable, but it's more dynamic and a lot less clean. Fuzz with an octave pedal will allow you to vary the ammount of the octave you hear, and it'll be constant throughout dynamics and range.

I normally use a big muff clone i made with an ehx pitchfork. Its pretty cool. Id a/b it with a tone machine i built but i shipped to my buddy across the country as a christmas gift. There was a noticeable difference between the foxx's octave and the foxx with an octave. I prefer using seperate units, being able to very it or play clean with an octave is nice.

Digidelay vs Boss DD7? Which of these 2 should I get?

>>70742974
whoah they're selling necks now?This changes everything.....

>>70743089
Dd7 has stereo inputs, allows external tap tempo(engaging the effect, holding, and then setting tempo is a pain live), and its delay types are listed. Dd7 is great, had it for years and have never thought about changing it. Never used the digidelay, but it doesnt have bells and whistles i want.

What's a good amp in the $500 dollar range.

Not looking to play shows, just sound 10/10.

Looking at Blues cube or Blues Jr or even Blues Deluxe

>>70743138
Yeah, DD7 seems to be a bit more "versatile". I guess I will cough up the extra $20 to buy a DD7.
Thanks anon.

Hey last thread an anon said he much preferred the AC15 to the AC30 because you can comfortably blast it, and get a better tone as a result, in your bedroom. However I'm looking at the AC30 head which has the ability to be turned down to 3W and 0.33W using its attenuator. I should be fine tone wise with those options correct?

>>70743123
Not usually, very rare. Join Aluminum Axes on Facebook if you want the inside scoop.

>>70743187
If you're buying new a dd7 will hold it's value better as well.

>>70743096
what the creme am i doing here

>>70743234
cool will do. It's weird of them not to sell necks like this, they must think it will cheapen their brand and sell less guitars but I think they would easily double their profits by making necks a regular item.

I would never drop the $4g or whatever it is on a EGC guitar but I could easily do that neck.

>>70743218
An attenuator will change the sound. Youll also probably have more clean headroom with an ac30. Im sure it will sound fine though.

One of the big things people overlook with amps, aside from pushing the pre amp and the tubes is the speaker. A big part of guitar sound is a speaker thats moving vigourously because of a large current, which you wont get unless youre playing pretty loudly.

But it should sound fine.

>>70743330
They used to. They said it took too much time to work to a different company's specs so they stopped.

>>70743506
Good call, might as well start him off with a beginner guitar. That way if he destroys it you didnt really lose anything valuable.

>>70738363
I feel like every jam is different, but I always get anxiety jamming with new people

>>70743594
With a 1x12 you'll be able to get the speaker moving at a lower volume, some guys actually look for inefficient speakers to play at lower volumes with the knob higher. I dont know anything about that mojo though.

What do you guys do when you get real discouraged and hit a plateau with your playing? Bassist btw, any recommendations for this feel?

Just react to your surroundings, point out the shit theyre doing wrong or shit that's cliche. Take a small amp because you're going to realize quickly that it's not worth being there and itll be easier to leave.

I bought Dean VMNT Black colored guitar. I knew I should've gotten Jackson King V instead, as that's probably better quality and couple of hundred quids cheaper than the Dean.

However, when checking the serial number I found out it was manufactured in 2007, on Un Son Korean factory.

To me the neck seems perfectly straight and intontation is more or less in condition. However I'm worried about the bridge. When comparing to photos of other VMNTs the bridge seems always be connected really low but mine it seems to be pretty high tiny screws in the middle. Need to take actual photo.

So, I should probaly take it to luthier/tech?

I own an Ibanez RG2EX2 thats all white with black hardware and trim. I like the white, but the black not so much. I've decided to slowly over time make small adjustments cosmetically, mainly replacing a lot of the black metal with wood where i can, (knobs, ect.) and gold where i cant (bridge, ect.)

Ive found a place that makes bad ass wooden knobs already, but i just found this place that makes wooden pickup covers. Does anyone know anything about using wood for a pickup cover? Like does it affect tone or anything? Id like to use roeswood to match the fretboard

thats just the 4th position shape of the minor scale, or 3rd position of the major

all the shapes are the same just the names change based on where the root is and what key you're in

just remember the shapes and be able to transpose them

>>70747568
I enjoyed it but I have questionable taste so I'm not sure how much my reccomendation is worth.

>>70747655
me too. I'll probably watch it and like it. Assuming you'd recommend the anime over the manga.

>>70746052
Practice slow as fuck so you can do it perfectly. Try to make the most efficient movements between fretting and picking as possible so as to cut down on the time it takes when you play faster.

>>70747841
His hand is likely not flexible or strong enough to get the speed, and like you said minimum movement is key, after that pick up a metronome

is there a better way to learn songs than to watch guitar covers on youtube at 0,5 speed?

I feel like any difference in tone is perceived, generally. I feel like I play differently on hollow and semi-hollow guitars only because I approach them differently to get the sound I want.

Alex Lifeson plays a 335 right after a Floyd Rose Les Paul and makes them sound the same.

The real tone-maker is your amp and gain levels at the end of the day.

I really admire haino as well, I can't wrap it around my head how he plays. when I pick up a guitar I usually play something melodic within music theory like a scale or anything - but with him, I have no clue why he chooses what note he will play and why he chooses the next one - its fascinating.

This is what i did with mine. I wasnt too crazy about plain white, so i got pearloid and got matching knobs. I wanted something not so common, but not something that stood out so much that it's tacky.

You can get plain white though, nothing wrong with replacing something worn out with something identical.

Like the other anon said, gold might be nice. Gold and white with maple look nice, gold and red would look okay, but youd have to change the bridge and tuners too or it would look out of place. I believe they sell gold pickup covers as well.

What strings do you guys use and why?

I've tried every major brand at this point and I'm just not sure which ones have the best response and tone dynamics. I bought a pack of GHS Boomers earlier because I haven't tried those out in probably 6 or 7 years at least. Right now I have DR's on my guitar and they're okay.

>>70751276
Wood type doesn't matter anywhere other than where the palm is touching the neck and that doesn't matter either if you're just going to put a finish all the whole thing.

Fret wood definitely doesn't matter since you're going to be touching the strings not the fretboard

What's the best, (in your >opinion) lower-price amp?
