>also like the Dean ML79f
>kinda want an epi SG

Honestly, can an SG get the hard rock / megadeth sound?

mods please delete this stupid duplicate thread

spamming threads is against the rules brother. there's already a /gg/ up

>>72589123

>>72589123
It's about the pickups. You want hot humbuckers for that kind of thing, I'm sure stock SG pickups will work well enough, but you can always swap them out to something "more metal"

>>72589124
>>72589133
The other thread OP is clearly a shitpost. Mods can see that.

>>72589123
seriously? theres no point in asking that question bro. les pauls and sgs sound IDENTICAl. because they have same pickups, same scale lenght, same bridge.

>>72589174
your op includes "an hero" and "chordbook.cum"

did anyone ever use these links?

im turning 24 in a few days. fuck off. sorry i don't listen to Elvis or some shit.

>>72589150
i got to play an epi SG in the past, and i really liked how it sounded. I just never got to really push it as far as i would have liked too. every once in a while i like to plan clean stuff, which is odd, because the dean ML i have now does cleans brighter and cleaner than the SG.

Hey roman

>>72590286
roman trolling pete... kek

hey orange

>>72590339
Roman is pete. He started the discord to pull people away from the general. He's admitted to it at least twice.

hey, when was roman?

Anyone here have experience with ordering a used guitar at guitar center? How'd it go? did it get fucked in shipping?

>>72590397
>guitar center

>>72590397
yeah, it turned out to be a guitar

>>72590374
im pretty sure roman is crazyaga, and pete is some reddit-tier scrub

>>72590390
Roman is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega

>>72590427
wow

>>72590420
Roman is crazyaga 2 and pete. crazyaga was around years ago, and roman just started pretending to be him years after he disappeared

>>72590403
whats the problem?

>>72590413
?

>>72590420
I ain't gonna lie, I feel really sorry for Roman and Samuel. Imagine having to be that much of a shitty person every day of your life, you'd just want it to stop.

>>72590457
They both seem to be enjoying themselves

>>72590397
They're one of the best places for used gear,just as long as you know how to do your own setups. I used to flip a ton of gear from there but the crazy good deals are rare now.

>>72590457
hey, you. stop

Samuel's a good kid, he just needs to grow out of Kiss.

>>72590475
Don't let em get to you spamuel, i actually have grown use to having you around. It'd be weird if you stopped posting.

>>72590713
The pass doesnt let you bypass cooldown times, it still takes 30 seconds to post, unless you change ip's.

I'm sure Roman can act serious. He started tripping as pete, acting like pete from the discord, then after the crazyaga trip started getting insta banned the pete trip started shitposting and then disappeared altogether.

/gg/ is actually pretty funny, the bickering and people always taking the lamest bait amuses me. And even the on topic conversation has gotten better since our numbers have decreased. The shitposting saved the thread from people who kept posting the same pics so you could identify them (like sg fag).

>>72590765
at that point just use a fucking laptop man,.

>>72590825

hm, hard to believe. probably just c.a. being salty about being banned from the chatroom. you really had to be there to see how autistic 'aga' actually was - it was either authentic or he had a team of jews writing lines for him

iirc pete gave up on /gg/ because he was getting 7 day bans for linking his chatroom. maybe ill see if thats his actual discord account and find out for myself :^^^^)

>>72590893
I know, but look at how shitty that pedal interface is. Makes it basically impossible to change sounds spontaneously. I guess it could be useful if you don't need to change sounds live,but it also takes away from the gimmick of having so many options available.

>>72590974
>instead of shitty single effect pedals
Wait, are you talking about a multieffects box?

>>72590975
that chinkshit guitar sounds pretty good. nice 80s high gain tone

>>72590536
I wish that having recommended instruments would actually solve the problem. Every kid would still come in and go-

"Yeah I didn't see that, but that doesn't matter anyways. I'm a special snowflake. No way general advice is right for me. I have SPECIAL needs. What is best for me since I am so DIFFERENT^tm?"

>>72590974
Strymon is god tier. Have a BigSky thinking of a Mobius next.

>>72591006
I'm just saying that multieffects have their place even if they're kind of cheap. A cheap single effect does one thing crappily.

Poorly worded though I admit...

>>72591007
you have really shitty ears if you think scamplitube sounds good. have you checked your ears? maybe theres some cum left in them, idk just guessin

>>72591036
>A cheap single effect does one thing crappily.
That's because it's cheap.

No, multi-effects are usually shitty. You are better off in getting *good* single effect pedals to customize your sound, not cheap ass ones

>>72591054
multifxs do sound nice and good

>>72591048
yea i probably need to get them candled or something

>>72591069
Not really. And you are at the mercy of the pedal for all effect.

>>72591048
that type of thinks always made me kek, if a lot of peoples dont ear the difference why even care ? to please the 10% of peoples that know shit about overpriced material ?

>>72591054
I agree and disagree. Obviously a nice single effect will do more for than you a crap multi. It'll sound better and be more readily usable.

But you can do a lot with that multi if you're creative. It won't be high quality but that doesn't mean you can't yank cool things from it. That innate versatility can be utilized in really cool and glitchy ways. As long as you're not relying on it for "tone" anyways.

>>72591106
>And you are at the mercy of the pedal for all effect.
lol? youre at the mercy of a bunch of individual pedals for all individual pedals? ?

how in the fucking hell a multifx' modulations and effects sound shitty if theyre mostly phasing, pitch switfting shit!!!
muh analog transistor sound?
you analog pedal guys sound like retarded valve-amp-guys

>>72591125
>>72591125
>It won't be high quality
And that's the problem.
>that doesn't mean you can't yank cool things from it.
A truly creative person can yank a creative thing out of anything, so this is a non argument

Again, you are better off investing the money and truly customizing your board rather than be at the mercy of a series of mediocre presets.

You will not be able to do everything on my board with your one pedal
>>72591153
>having a choice of 1 pedal vs 1000 pedals is basically the same
Stop

that'll be nice to have a site for doing blind test between several pedalboard/multieffect

>>72591119
>that type of thinks always made me kek, if a lot of peoples dont ear the difference why even care ?
>to please the 10% of peoples that know shit about overpriced material ?
thinking that way, why make music for people that are deaf anyway?

Do any of you actually play guitar?

This album was recorded entirely on a Line 6 Pod and Amplitube. Try getting a heavier sound.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0PYwPMnUCM

>>72591119
10% of people really care about complex music. So I guess all music should be simple, right?

>>72591175
what choice youre talking about? a multifx has more fx than the number of pedals you can have in a pedalbard

>>72591202
I feel like you've never used an effects pedal before.

>>72591200
a complex music doesn't make a good music

>>72591199
>Line 6 Pod and Amplitube
no need to point out that it sounds like shit

>>72591228
What makes it good?

>>72591226

>>72591175
Shit dude. I think we're both going at it with non-arguments.

I would like to specify that I am not advocating replacing a board of proper effects with a multi but rather adding a multi to a board of effects. I don't agree with the other anon replying to you.

I'm just saying that even though I use nicer pedals nowadays, a multi-effect can be a cool way to fill out sounds you don't use as often. Sometimes a cheap effect sounds cool BECAUSE of it's cheapness. Like a glitchy octave or a fuzz that doesn't get enough juice and fizzles out. It's not like using better electronics makes it sound better, it just makes it last longer and less prone to failure.

I'm with you. I just wanted to point out that cheap effects can be cool too...

>>72591202
i think is talking about modularity, like if your dumb enough to put a pedal where it doesn't belong to make your sound "original" and not to have to be creative on your music more than that

>>72591243
blues licks and guitar bends

>>72591243
it's subjective

>>72591260
>I'm with you. I just wanted to point out that cheap effects can be cool too...

No I mean play a $100 guitar and then a $1000 guitar. Do you notice a difference?

https://youtu.be/9biYPlDnkMs

>>72591586
thats a stupid exemple, that obvious you can, but you may not notice the difference between a 1000$ and a 600$

>>72591627
and whatever you can do on a 2k$ macbooks, u can do the same on a half that price Windows pc

>>72591627
Nice goalpost shifting

>>72591670
you really think that because 100$ gear are shit, only 1000$ gear are good ?

>>72591586
you feel the difference for sure. more durable, less prone to detuning, and you can see the difference in craftsmanship.

but in terms of sound? you could replace the cheap pickups in the $100 dollar guitar and sound nearly the same as the $1000 dollar guitar.

that's not to say that a $1000 dollar guitar is bad, if you enjoy your hobby you should spend your hard-earned money getting the nice sweet one you've been wanting.

but if you just need good sound, that's really not expensive to do.

>>72592115

Hey boyos reccomend me some pedals for a blues/post-punk/funk guitarist. Pedal board has a chorus, WAH , distortion & overdrive

>>72592256
No shit

Guess what it records my dude? Vibrations all together. Put literally anything that vibrates up against a pickup and you'll notice it will PICK IT UP. Ever notice how the entire guitar vibrates when a string is plucked??

Just kys faggot

>>72592357
you tell me that anything that vibrate can influence a magnetic shield ?

>>72592357
why we use metals strings dumbass

>>72592115
wood can actually affect the strings vibration, that's why a les paul have more sustain, because the resonance of the wood affect the string vibration
and that the only way the type of body and the wood can affect the sound

>>72592403

Heres a test you fucktards. Let me make it real easy so you reres can understand.

>stand up

In some cases you'll even have to tune the guitar again

Tell me this please, if wood and everything else on the guitar makes no tonal difference then why do they even use tonal woods?

I need a small practice amp for home use and Marshall 2525C Mini Jubilee has started to intrigue me. JCM800 has been used in some form or another by many black metal musicians and I guess it is the quintessential 80's amp in general. How well does this version handle more extreme styles of metal? JCM800 usually needs something like a Tube Screamer to keep it tight, so needing to use a pedal with this one is not an issue. Some have described this as a more high gain amp but with a sweeter character, so does that translate to pristine 80's lead tones or can I get some real aggression out of this?

Other recommendations welcome too.
>Under 1000€, 1100€ is the absolute maximum
>Will be used mainly for metal, Lionheart will handle cleaner and softer music
>Can be a head or a combo as long as it doesn't break the budget
>Low-wattage at least as an option (like in the 2525C)
>Preferably made in Europe or America

I took some edibles last night and got really high. My favorite thing to do while high is listen to music, because as anyone who's gotten high and listened to music knows, it's a completely different experience than regular listening.

I listened to Buckethead and it was a very special experience. Almost spiritual, even.

I liked Buckethead before, but I've found a whole new appreciation and respect for him. I believe he is truly the greatest guitarist of our time.

I agree with you that listening to music blazed is amazing without a doubt, but at the same time I think it's WAY more superficial than people make it out to be. It may feel almost spiritual, but that's just the weed doing it's thing. People treat it like you'll find god and be reborn if you listen to music high.

Hi I'm thinking of getting a Dual Rec head

I don't have any cabinets so I don't know what I'm looking for. I don't think I'll need more than a 1x12 cabinet since I am mic'd at my gigs.

Should I just get the 1x12 rectifier cab or is that a meme? Also should I look for closed back or open back? Also is the head too large to even fit on top of a 1x12?

theyre traditionally used with 2x12s horizontally right? I may just have to go to the store and see the difference. thanks for your advice.

>>72593651
also the mesa cabs seem nice because theyre closed back, and that means i can pump more sub through them if im trying to do a ghetto bass via pedals

>>72593486
I will never in a million years understand why people pretend to like the trash that is Burzum

>>72593651
>theyre traditionally used with 2x12s horizontally right

I think the 2x12 is equally as popular as the 4x12.

From what I've heard of them (never in person albeit), I prefer the high end of the 2x12.

Then again, I've never even played a gig, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm going based on how I've heard them in recordings.

Guitar noob here, I was wondering if there's any way to pick out what I need to do to get something close to the guitar tone in this song:
https://youtu.be/MtQfg5ktK6M?t=30s

I've picked out everything by ear and can play it, but I can't make the tone of the guitar sound good. It's always too sharp to sound good, and I have no idea how to fix it.
Is it super gear dependant? I'm currently connected to the computer and switch between FL Studio and Guitar Rig for practicing.

The one and only difference in sound of a SG and a Les Paul is sustain because the SG has less wood. Every tonal difference you hear is being caused by different pickups, nut or toanbridge™.

https://clyp.it/j0ou1ybs

>>72596006

>>72598263
