You won't really miss the clean EQ, they sound good out of the box. Give them a go, see what you think.

It was by no means a bad amp, just way too powerful and impractical, and didn't give the sound I was really after in the end. I have an AC15 now which gives you an idea of the sort of stuff I play, so totally different. Check out the DSL 40C as well, they have a switch which takes them down in power and they sound great too.

>>71238357
Thanks dude! I will definitely try them side by side, and then make my choice. Enjoy your AC15!

Thoughts on the 1955 Custom that's coming out this year?

Repost as thread died;

I'm trying to import loops from a ditto x4 to my PC. Upon importing them over, the files are the appropriate length of the loop but all silence. I reckon I must be doing something stupid, but I can't for the life of me figure out what.

Anyone got any ideas?

It was Angus and Malcolm Young for me. Dad gave me a copy of their first album and I loved the guitar on it. Was pretty easy to lean too, and it was fun to play along with the cd. I never learned the solos note for note, got the main bits and slowly made up the rest.

Mark Knophler got me in to taking it a bit more seriously later on.

Kirk Hammett for me. I am wiser now and realize he is not all that special and it is actually James' riffology and Lars' composition skills that actually drive Metallica. People shit on Lars all the time but if you see him in the studio, you see he has quite the nack for envisioning where a song can go and I think he would have made a great guitar player if he ever did pick it up (and sort his rhythm out).

Satriani did a lot for me once I really got going (and still does) and now I can appreciate the artists and their music that are far removed from what I used to like, like B.B King, Chuck Berry, Chet Akins and even Les Paul himself.

Check out these 2 videos Satrani did on modes:

>>71238626
>P90s

Lol no thanks

>>71239175
Really well for what I use it for - which is either a Boss SD1 or a TS808 with a Les Paul or HSS Strat. I go for a broken up overdrive sound instead of all out distortion which you can clean up nicely with the volume knob and it works really well for that.

Sounds great by itself too, and the spring reverb works well. It doesn't have an effects loop which may be an issue for you however. I tried an OCD through one in the shop and am planning on getting it next month, sounded killer.

The Axe Fx in this concert sounds as good or better than any tube could, but with the added benefit of being 100% consistent from show to show. Metallica has all the money in the world. If the tones & feel weren't there they wouldn't use it.

Tube amps are amazing & I love them as much as my digital stuff, but they will become a thing of the past for touring & recording for most people in the not too distant future for sure. Just will not be necessary & will actually be too limiting & cumbersome.

I will be mostly using it to record acoustic guitar (but also guitar rig and shit like that)

>>71239487
I recently got one and it's great.

RV5 and TU3 arrived today. Used the opportunity to tinker with my amp settings.
>turn gain down to 3 from 8 on crunch channel
>turn treble down to 4 from 8 on both channels
>turn mid up from 1 (!!) to 4 on crunch channel
So now I have a nice fat clean tone on the clean channel, a very VERY slightly overdriven creamy sound on the crunch channel and 70s overdrive (or more recently, first Ghost album sound) on crunch with boost on. Now you can actually tell what notes I'm playing. Reverb in FX loop and barely noticeable just to give it a bit more room and make it less dry.

Dug out some blues and jazz pieces I was supposed to learn like 10 years ago but never bothered because I was getting into metal (teenagers, what are you gonna do). NOICE

Now I only need to sell my shitty Epiphone LP and get a Strat.

>>71239487
E-Mu 0404 is as good as, and even cheaper

My first guitar teacher. There was an open day at the music school, I was 10 and my class went there. He laid down some sick bass lines and I knew I want to play like that. I wasn't even "into" music back then, as in, I could only name 2 musicians (ELO and Eric Clapton) because my dad was into them, and that was it.
I signed up for classical guitar the next week, did that for 4 years and then went with electric instead of bass because bass has nostrings.
Actually it's exactly 15 years this month since I first decided to start playing.

How to set up compressors?

The Attack and Release refer to their time in ms, but how does it actually affect the sound?

Setting a small value for release gives more sustain and less dynamics in the spectrum.

What does the attack do?

>>71244632

>>71244897
I like the picking sound in the solo

Amp is cutting out when I put my distortion level above 6 or so. Do my tubes need changed or would it be my speakers?

>>71245036
Wtf is cutting out?

My amp starts hissing after around 15h on the master but only when it's a bass plugged to it. I dont know if its the speakers of the tubes. Its supposed to be the speakers. But the speakers are fucking 75 or 100w, and the amp is 10w with EL34, a 50w amp with a guitar should give more bass dB than a bass plugged to my amp, so the bass shouldnt be pushing the speaker.

>>71245171
The distortion sounds ok until i get to about 6 and if i push it up all the way it just gives out when i hit a power chord. It doesn't cut out entirely, but it's very noticeable.

I don't think you're supposed to plug a bass into an amp though m8

>>71244718
Attack changes how much of your initial pick attack is pronounced.

>>71245266
On a smaller or higher value of attack?

The lower the attack knob is set, the less pick attack you will hear, which I guess is good for more violin like sounds and some jazz tones. The higher the knob the more attack you will hear.

I think.

Splitting doesnt do it cause the bucker's bobins arent the same type as single coil's

>>71245800
All depends on what you play. If you want some powerful heavy chords then you should use a humbucker. I never really understood getting a strat with one though. That's just not what it was built for.

>>71245846
>strat built with humbucker installed
>that's just not what it was built for

What did he mean by this?

>>71245846
I usually play barre chords or traids not too many power chords.

Though the second position is good too I usually just play in the bridge position.

For Tele I use the middle and sometimes neck position for rhythm and bridge for lead.

>>71246009
Yeah, definitely wouldn't want a humbucker strat in that case. I wouldn't mind having one as a backup if I had the extra money. But I would never suggest buying a humbucker strat over a classic one.

The HH Jaguar intrigues me though. Apparently you can roll both humbuckers back to get a single coil sound as well.

It's a matter of volume. Bassist is playing at a reasonable level (compare his voice and the bass), guitarist is excessively loud. Stores like GC have isolated testing rooms for exactly this reason.

Better yet, leave them all at 10 unless you're playing Jazz, then put everything at 10 and then back off the tone knob a smidge.

everybody should leave their guitar's volume on 7 or 8 for rhythms, turn to 10 for leads, and lower it for cleans.
and maybe do the 50's wiring for rolling the tone knob and achieving cleaner cleans

always. actually, i honestly prefer the feel of my epiphone les paul standard to my gibson les paul traditional. i got the gibson as a gift from my grandpa (played and picked it out myself though) but maybe it's just because I've had the epiphone for years and I've just been used to it. something about it's sound and feel are just right. I still love the gibson, but sometimes when I need to be perfect, I use the epiphone.
