Ok, who can tell me about Fender Super Champ X2 Head and cab?

Its a tube amp with a digital pre-amp.

I'm interested. But I don't want it to sound like a mustang or line 6.

Anyone have any experience? Should I just get a blues Jr or Princton instead?

Friendly reminder: the kiddies who post in /gg/ threads have nearly ***zero*** experience concerning guitar. Playing, repair, new player recommendations, etc. The average age in these threads is around early 20s: green as shit grass.

If you have an actual question this is probably one of the most uninformed & least knowledgeable places you could ever expect a proper answer to come from.

Be weary of any advice given here as it's amateur & perfunctory at best.

Have a nice day.

>>70879124
ok

>>70879125
Well the Super Champ X2 is a real tube amp, the blues jr, and the Princeton are as well.

I don't have the need or even ability to play loud so something like a Twin is out of the question, hence the smaller wattage.

>>70879055
Thanks
Actually I love my current Strat that I upgraded to my tastes. It's my ultimate gig machine.

And now that I feel like it's perfect, I want to buy another guitar just to play at home for fun.

But after trying different guitars I feel like only an old sounding Strat (or eventually a really good tele)
can please me.

Though buying another guitar sounds alright, buying the same kind leaves me with a complex feeling.

Anyway I'll probably just start by finding a good neck & body and putting my old stuff in it.

>>70879145

Hey strat dude what kinda stuff do you find yourself generally playing/practicing?

>>70879139

>>70879157
it adjusts volume so you get even levels of gain across your entire pedalboard

>>70879173
Ahh, makes sense. Ty

>>70879156
If you're not planning on buying dozens of guitars then you just need the single coil Strat sound, something humbuckery and a Telecaster. Build a partscaster, that's a great way to throw together something a bit custom. Resale value won't be great though, the cork sniffers will want everything stock with Fullerton dust and Tadeo Gomez' pubic hair in the pickup cavity.

>>70879168
I've done pretty much everything from wanky solos blues to country to indie bands to free improvisational jazz (that was good, we never had to rehearse anything) but these days I'm writing a lot of big crashy strummy guitar rhythmic stuff. With tempo-synced delay times, great fun to play a chord part and get a quarter note and a dotted eighth plaued back on the delay.

>>70879211
Thanks for the advice,
Actually I think I'm aiming for only 2 guitars like you said. (Or maybe 3 if I do add a Tele one day, but it has to be a fabulous sounding guitar)

I'll be adding a classic single coil strat to my super strat
And I don't care about resale value DESU.
I like to keep my stuff for myself.

Guys, help

>Fender Mustang I used for 65 euros
>Vox Valvetronix AD30VT used for 80 euros
>Orange CR30L used for 75 euros

which one should I get? I want a nice little bedroom amp, and I like the idea of a modelling amp, messing around with the effects and shit. I think I'm gonna get either th eMustang or the Vox. I like the Fender Fuse software fro the Mustang, with which I can tweak shit and download presets from the community. On the other hand, it's a little 20W 8" amp, while the Vox is a 30W 10" amp, but alas, I can't connect it to the computer and download presets and record directly like with the Mustang. Help, which would you get?

>>70879530
Come on, that's objectively not true. Both Mustang and Valvetronix are very nice practice amps, stop being a snob.

>>70879445
What's the budget.

I have a Marshall code 25 amp for practice. The presets suck major dong but you can edit them to make them not so shitty.

It's $200. I should have went for the 50w but I already have a 75w amp so it's whatever.

It's me, the guy who's deciding between the Mustang and Vox. Does the one tube in the Vox do anything noticeable or is it just a gimmick?

>>70879544
lol his fucking squire. He's proud of it.

Probably warped as fuck from winter humidity drop, frets are sharp as nails and the electronics glued in.

>>70879571
The budget is 100 euros max. I'm not really a poorfag, but I'm moving out the family house in a few months to a larger city and I'm gonna need all the coin I can save.

Anyone recommend a basic footswitch? I have a combo amp and my goal is to just be able to cycle through effects I have stored.

Tubes have been a gimmick for years, thats why the highend marshalls have solid state distortion

It's still intact. Then again I don't lean my guitar against my amp or place it on uneven surfaces and I use quality strap locks. I'm also aware of my surroundings so I don't bump it into anything.

How anyone can damage their guitar is beyond me.

you can probabbly swing a used one for cheap, but it really is the best practice amp out there

No he's right. I have the line 6 equivalent and it sounds good compared to other amps in the price range and it hides your shitty squire's tone well.

BUT it sounds like shit compared to the actual tube amps you want to sound like.

Easy to spot the digital amp next to the real one. No comparison.

So to the guy asking the question.

Get the Roland Blues cube.

If you must go for the super digital stuff the Fender is the best choice for the modeling amps and if you are inexeperienced with guitar sounds you'll be very ahppy.

Vox Pathfinder - Clean as it can get for this price range

>>70879349
That's why I buy used guitars from competent owners who look after them properly. I bought a 92 Gibson LP standard w/ OHSC for $1,600 that looks and sounds great as oppose to a new $4,000 LP that's second rate quality with bells and whistles.

>>70879583
That's $106 for US. I mean you want something new the Vox Pathfinder is something, but idk how it is I've only used 30w Vox amps my teacher had.

You'll probably have to look for local used equipment. What sucks is with amps is you get what you pay for, so it's harder to get cheaper stuff.

but he actually talked about one of his gibson headstocks snapping off in an interview

Recently started playing guitar again (didn't play for like 8 years) and now have a basic understanding of some music theory fundamentals.

For the modes, I've learned the three notes per string shapes. Should I learn the box shapes as well? I'm having trouble with phrasing given my shitty pentatonic habits. Obviously it would be better to know what notes are where on the fretboard but the shapes off good training wheels.

Why do you care so much about what people think? I was prepared for the shit, being a big metallica fan myself, but who cares. I don't care if I get flak from people. It's about laying it all out on the table man. No holds barred.

When you stop worrying about what people think of you, you'll let yourself be happier.

>>70880393
that's because Gibson headstocks break off all the time

>>70880396
Just learn the intervals of the modes then add their notes to the pentatonic shapes you already know

Buy a Gibson. The force of you taking your finger off the string will cause the headstock to break off and the note will stop ringing.

>>70880396
>Obviously it would be better to know what notes are where on the fretboard but the shapes off good training wheels.

That's easy to do. Once you know shapes it makes it easier to remember. As you go up/down each scale, say the note out loud as you play them.

I'm still learning so don't think I'm some guitar guru with sage advice. But:

What I did was memorize on the low E where E (open), F#, G, A, B, C and D were. Start at each as the root and say the notes out loud as I play each one in Ionian mode (Major, whatever).

Once you memorize where each of those notes are, the sharps fall into place, and you'll also train your ear to know what G is when you play it.

Can't tell you about playing box shaped though, I'm still using 3 note per string shapes, but once you learn the notes it just falls into place. Hard to explain.

Hopefully this helps in anyway, for you and or noobs reading.

Modes are like scales, but with added flats. Each major key has X amount of sharps. C (0), G (1), D (2) so on and so forth to C# major which has 7.

Each mode has X amount of flats, sort of like how each major key have sharps. I forget how many per mode, I have it written at home though.
