What?

I think you meant to say "Strats are more versatile".

What's the verdict, /gg/? Who wins between amp sims?

Also why are the only videos comparing these in Spanish, Portuguese, or Japanese?

>>71852214
I mean, if you were to be nitty-gritty, strata are better balanced and have contours, so yeah I'd have to agree. As far as versatility goes, at least the telecaster has two different pickups instead of 3 of the same.

Continuing the G400 discussion from last night...

I've had one for fifteen years, although it was my first guitar so it's not been played for a while. Ended up looking at it again because of this thread and I must've had a good one (which is rare for a mass produced lefty guitar - QC is always worse on leftys) as the fretwork is excellent on the neck.According to the SN it was either made in 1986 or 1996 and I've had it since 2003.

Wiring was a shambles on the pots though as I remember having to re-do that myself. Being a fifteen year old I put JB/Jazz SDs in it which was a massive improvement on the stock PAFs. I was playing through an old Vibro Champ at the time... they used to be so cheap until the fucking internet memed them into being as good as point-to-point boutique tube amps (which they're not, but that's another matter).

I really should sell it because it would go a long way towards getting a new amp.

Second

>>71852251
I didn't even think about stuff like contours and balance... I guess that would count. I don't notice it personally.

Man do I love the 2 different pickups on the tele though, so you're right on that one. The neck is so warm and the bridge kicks ass.

I prefer the tele but the strat is more versatile sound-wise in my mind.

>>71852287
Forgot to mention. Strats normally have the trem while teles normally don't. That gives them an edge as well.

You're retarded. White is a color, black isn't.

>>71852701
White is a mishmash of all (or a large portion of) the colors of the visible spectrum. Black is the same, except the intensity is close to zero.

>White is not a color.

>>71852718
Mixing light and mixing paint is different

>>71852718
Explanation depends on additive or subtractive colors. So basically, the idea that either white or black is not a color is wrong.

Mix a ton of paint together you get black. Mix a ton of lights together you get white.

>>71852732
Listen here you little shit, if you're saying white is a color that's akin to saying the sound a snare drum makes has a pitch. Sure, it'll have more or less high / low end but you can't pick a single frequency and say that's the pitch of the snare drum.

>>71852748
>>71852750
What's your point? If you're a visual artist (how can you even afford a computer?) then white is the absence of color, i.e. still not a color.

>>71852763
>can't pick a single frequency and say that's the pitch of the snare drum.

Who loses most? Besides the consumer. Y'know, among the pedals.

Is there a site where I can reliably find good tabs? I tried songsterr, but many of the songs sound a bit off.

>>71853351
UG. Most accurate tabs will be in band songbooks though, cheap on amazon.

When did you realize the most important aspect of a good solo is not how fast or long it is, but the qualify of the note selection and melody of it?

>>71853378
>but the qualify of the note selection and melody of it?

This is how I know I'm not in the black metal drumming general

if any of you are looking for a mac demarco sound using a boss gt-100, i just found a neat trick, just use the tape mode on the delay pedal and set effect level and direct mix to maximum (100% wet), high cut to flat, feedback and delay time to min.
essentially mutes your normal sound and only plays the delay, but since latency is only 1ms and volume is the same nobody can tell.

also works well with reverse/mod mode

>>71853432
...We were purely talking about versatility though?

I already said I like teles better.

>>71853592
You can get some nice jangle by putting 100% mix on spring reverb, and similarly minimizing other parameters. I don't have a gt-100 but this should work. Currently using an older zoom unit. Putting that sound into an amp with a lot of gain gives a decent shrill punk soloing tone.

>>71853592
direct mix to minimum, not maximum.
>>71853713
will try that now, hope that works

>>71853570

Wait really? I mainly care about good looping with an export element, and phase changing. Step phase specifically. Can it do that stuff well?

File: asd.jpg (48KB, 824x365px) Image search: [Google]

48KB, 824x365px

>>71855767
it has 4/8/12 stage and biphase modes for the phaser (whatever that means) and these knobs. they sound good but i dont know much about phasers so i dont know if it's enough for you. the looping isn't really that great, you can record a loop and overdub as much as you want but that's it. basically the stuff you care about the most is the stuff it can't do that well. i can recommend it to you if you want a shit ton of effects for little money (basically the price of 2-4 decent pedals). but single pedals always allow you to go a bit deeper

>>71855827
What's it like with the step rate option on? Step phasing is pretty important to me so if it could do that well it could easily beat out me picking up a PH3 alongside other effects.

shielding prevents hum noise to what extent?

does it prevent from noise if the energy is not well grounded?

my guitars hum like shit. when i touch them it doesnt stop, just get less loud

>>71855857
well i never used that function. if you can tell me what kind of sound you are looking for i can try to replicate and record it for you. maybe link a song on youtube

>>71855857
>>71855767
by the way, the official user manual lists the included phaser as the "PH-3". it should sound pretty much exactly the same.

http://cms.rolandus.com/assets/media/pdf/gt-100_training_guide.pdf

since you mentioned 3 boss pedals the gt100 is the obvious choice.

>>71855920
Something like:

https://youtu.be/qaL9BAUjxVU?t=4m27s
https://youtu.be/TDuonqjXm14?t=7m24s
https://youtu.be/lK2R8XxBsGo?t=5m49s

That's probably the most rounded set of examples I can find.

>>71855944
That is very good to know then. I'll likely pick up the rc-30 or another looper seperately if the overdubbing and loop length of the 100 don't quite go far enough, but for everything else effects wise it could be perfect for me.

>>71855964
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1BEVwryPXu4
just chose a random patch and added the phaser and went through the 4 modes in random order while changing the step rate. first clean then with some OD.

it also features the dd-20 in that list which is the dd-7 with more features i guess? not sure about that.

anyways, the link i sent you is from the old firmware i believe, there are actually quite a few more features now.

do you already have an amplifier?

>>71856062
That sounds great man, seems like the step phaser I'm looking for. Appreciate you taking the time to record it!

>do you already have an amplifier?
A really basic small one. I mainly play acoustic but own an electro-acoustic that I only started pairing with effects pedals recently. Been completely enthralled by some of the phase and harmonic effects out there.

cool, if you have decent speakers you should use those to play. the amp sims are very good and much better than small practice amps. you can also connect it to your computer with USB, then you dont have to hurt your back to change the settings (see the screenshot i sent before). you can probably also use that to play through your computer speakers.

I'm basically just running a clean boost into the front and an MXR 10 band EQ through my effects loop in my amp (all tube) and turning down the volume about as low as I can on both volume and gain on the pedal. The result is tube drive at low volumes, and it sounds really good.

my question is: I'm basically attenuating the volume through the preamp tubes. is there a difference between that and actually using an attenuator between power tubes and speaker (in terms of sound)?

just the same for me, m8
I use exp and elixirs on everything and wipe down every single string with dunlop 65 string cleaner after playing and I still need to change the exps every other week and the elixirs as soon as the coating is scraped off somewhere (I use pretty hard picks, so that's like once a month).
so when I'm not practicing an awful lot or playing lots of gigs the cost is about the same as for a normal sweating person playing ernie balls or so and changing a bit more frequently.
the string cleaner really helps with them feeling fresh for a pretty long time but not with the sound, as soon as a string is 'exposed' it gets dull pretty fast and the treble strings on the exp just die anyway after a week

>>71856704
I'm going to check the 7 string version out the moment it arrives at a store nearby.
I'm looking for a good meme guitar that doesn't look like one too much, the pickup caps are retarded but I guess I'd be fine with that.
the only thing that worries me is the price, the pickups are already almost a 1/3 of the cost of the whole guitar so I hope the rest of it isn't too sloppy

Are thumbpicks really this loose? Are they supposed to use picking softly?

I end up holding it with the index finger like a regular pick cause it keeps loosening

>>71853378
When did you realise that those things are in no way mutually exclusive and you're making excuses for not working on technique because it sounds "so emotional" when you let every single note ring out?

>>71857103
totally depends on the amp. a typical jtm45 sound is basically all poweramp distortion, but some high power amps like my old engl savage sound like complete ass when pushed too hard (which is way too damn loud anyway for everytjng but a completely isolated studio room), because the poweramp gets all saggy and muddy, it's clearly designed to stay mostly clean

>>71857132
I wish it was so, but still a great deal

>>71855401
I had the black one as my first proper guitar. They're very nice, the neck is slim as hell and the neck joint feels like it's not even there. The pickups are correct for the price. My only gripe was the bridge. Those floyd rose like licensed bridges are just the fucking worse, especially if you're a retard like me and don't set them up properly. The knives got so worn out the thing would stay down if you pushed on it and up if you pulled on it.
Try it before you buy it obviously.

Priming it gray right now. Then gloss black in about 30 minutes, then gloss laquer.

I had to strip the guitar for several reasons. One is that I had to repair the shattered neck joint seperator in pic related, the other is that Im putting an EMG81 in the bridge and I have to swap the electronics for that. The old HSH pickups not only sounded bad but were passive and I can't mix them in with the EMG, and buying another EMG for the neck and single coil slot would be a waste of money and pointless. I only use the bridge PUP.

TL;DR: I had several excuses.

All that's missing is the long hair I had back then. Was fun but god damn, did my toan sound like shit back then. I used to think distortion was distortion and the more the better, because it's a tool for covering up mistakes and allowing you to do pinch harmonics / dive bombs and sound doesn't matter, and who plays chords anyway?

Did you ever go back to stuff you hadn't played 10, 15 years ago for nostalgia's sake?

On a stock Jag the switches are pick up on/off and one bass cut switch.

The top switch engages the rhythm circuit which is a slightly warmer/woolier circuit with the neck pick up only. The rollers are tone and volume for this circuit only. This ignores all of the other controls allowing you to have 2 different configurations.

In other words all of that shit doesn't do anywhere near as much as you would expect it to.

>>71860586
the... feel ?

i got guitar rig 5 and was just using the presets for a while because there's a lot of things and i can't be bothered to explore each one, and the presets just seemed fine for the time being

and now it's confusing to make my own set up :(

>>71858693
I'm not sure I understand your question, but here's how to do what it sort of sounds like you're trying to do:
You can click the trim icon to the left of a track, select the volume checkbox, and set the volume automation values by holding down control while dragging the mouse in the automation track underneath the main track.

I made an octaver VST today. It's modeled off of how analog octave pedals work. It has 4 independant volume knobs for dry, +1, -1, and -2 blend/mix. Similar to a FoxRox Octron or an analog'd EHX POG. Reply to this post if you want me to put it up on Mega.nz or elsewhere. It is a VST2 via a .dll file. I'd love for people to try it out and give me feedback on it. Run it into an amp sim and you're good to go.

It's called "morana".

I haven't found a good way, and I hate new bass strings. Honestly I haven't even noticed much of a difference whether I play or just let it sit tuned up. I will say a good policy is to slack it a bit and pull up from the bridge saddle to stop it from stretching unevenly or binding. With some strings that binding can really kill your strings quick.

Any recommendations/books for how to approach this?
Ideally, I'd be able to play at various locations on the neck, not just in first position.

Best way to make my Strat sound more like a Tele? I was thinking of putting a Tele bridge on it, but I'm not sure it'd fit without modifications.

It would need modifications to fit. You could try just putting some sort of focusing plate under the bridge pickup.

Is a buzzing sound normal for tube amps ? I have a randall 45 with a randall 112 speaker but thinking about returning them because this buzzing is triggering the fuck out of me. The noise is always present no matter if i plug or unplug the guitar.

whats a good entry level bass and amp? I want to make music out of my sad poems with a slow tempo.

Both are correct. A G major chord is made up of G, B, and D. If you look at the difference it's just switching between the B and D. Both are technically correct.

The first uses a D (the fifth of the G chord), and the second leaves it open as a B (the third.)
Both are perfectly correct voicings for a G major chord.

No, they shouldn't buzz. Return the head.

It looks like a modern two point with Tusq string saver saddles, the offset saddles are a dead giveaway. It's legit.
