How do I get overdrive on the higher notes?
Like every rock and metal song has a nice fuzzy overdrive on the high notes, but when I use it, they sound just like clean notes only louder

What's a good semi hollow electric?

Preferably in the $500 range

you're never going to get a proper tone without at least a $2k pedalboard bro, no matter how fancy your amp/guitar is.

no such thing as perfect...though id imagine it'd have to be some kind of dynamic addition that adjusts while your playing, cause your play style changes drastically even from song to song...and if you bother working on your techinique, it will change every month guaranteed (if you practice right). You can play any kind of reasonable setup as long as you approach it right. And if you dont want to approch it right, think about how you would WANT to approach it, and figure out how to make your guitar work for your desired technique.


the tools required really depends on the guitar. understand resonance, and how sound moves in 3d space because playing for an audience is hella hard when only half of them can hear you...and if youre electric, research a bit about how circuitry works, (especially operation amplifiers)

Catch me? the tools you need to setup depend on your setup

The guitar is the smallest part, really...all you need to adjust is the action = truss/nut/bridge/"is my neck warped?" "are my frets worn out?" What does all that take (other than the refret) maybe a screwdriver, hex, and a rag? Maybe pliers and scissors for odd nuts and strings. And two separate rags for wet/dry or clean/dirty. Clothes pins are great for sheetmusic but you kids probably use ipads now.

If you focus your knowledge on a few key areas: Wave physics, Electricity, Established performing arts, then you will succeed in nearly all situations. The internet makes that easier than ever to learn.

>>72923586
Thanks for confirming your understanding of English is primary school level. Get a GED already you fuck

>>72923542
dont sand your frets unless you know why the fuck youre sanding (trying to get out a rough spot) and always use very fine grit, like 2000 grit or more for frets. otherwise youll create more rough spots

Well, I got it for 300 canadian dollars. I think it's the best amp if you can get it around that price point, even if I did have to replace the shitty stock speaker to get a clean tone.

I'm happy with it in the sense that I'm not constantly wanting something else but I would probably trade for something like a DSL15 or something

Really, it's an anonymous forum, rarely will anyone's opinion faze others, so what's the point of just calling people names? Does it fill you with purpose? Do you think that you hurt others, on 4chan, by calling them a retard? I'm not trying to be confrontational, I just don't understand why.

going to be collecting this in a week or so, has any one had much experience with explorers? ive only ever played gibber flying v's but i retardedly sold my 97 cherry one and decided now is the time to get an explorer

what can i expect aside from /gibber tone/

Yeah ill try to be around this thread more to actually help those interested in playing and discussing guitar. And i actually have experience.

>>72931166
What guitar? On lower end guitars this is a common problem.

>>72931097

Some have pretty rough neck edges aka not rolled of, so they feel like a 2x4, but once you get used to it it's glorious. Also, love the clean sound on these, don't know if it's just me or not but there's something very woody and open about it.

>>72931197
Dude, I now want to listen to you play if you don't mind. Also, what kind of music are you into?

>>72931213
it's a washburn acoustic/electric. got it for $200 used so I guess I should have expected some kind of problem. Weird part is it wasn't there for the first week or so.

>>72931166

if not trolling, just buy the truss-rod wrench and read up online, it's hard to fuck up, unless You do a bunch of turns all at once. Little by little while checking the strings and you've got it.

>>72931291
I'm not trolling, I just didn't want to fuck it up myself because I've never done it before

>>72931352

All i'm saying is don't be afraid of this. Doing Your own guitar setup is very easy, learn it once and you've got it for the rest of your life, no overpriced truss-rod adjustments or floating bridge setups, all adjustable by your's truly. Just go slow and be careful, it's really hard to screw it up. I'd also advice to learn basic soldering. You don't even need to know exactly what component does what, as long as You are able to solder, google it up and try it out. At least for making guitar/mic cables it saves a fortune.

>>72931195

I would say so. They are really versatile pedals and all sound great. The belle epoch sounds pretty close to the old tape echo units. Have you tried one out?

>>72931573

jesus what an insufferable cunt.

Thanks, I was pretty sure that that's what it's called. I guess the more common type would be the allen key that you get with the guitar, but still. /mu/ never changes.
On a separate note, does anyone here know a cheap-esque way to level the frets without that stewmac block?

>being this defensive about a cheap shitty amp
You just made my day

>>72931606
The nearest guitar store to me doesn't have one. I've been watching demos, but I know that sometimes demos can be misleading.
The thing that put the Belle Epoch over the Dunloplex was that it included dat preamp for the same price

>>72931887
well to be fair diode based clipping is still analog

>>72931929

Marshall DSL 40C

Bass: 9 o' clock
Mids: 2 o' clock
Treble: 3 o' clock
Presence: 2 o' clock
Resonance: 10 o' clock

The DSL is kind of a misleading amp. Before the 70/80 breaks in it seems like an icepick machine, but once you let it break in a bit the low end the DSL pumps out is deeper than the Mariana Trench. It can be hard to control with humbuckers.

>>72931975
You can be poor and afford a jcm 900, they're generally half of what a 2000 or 800 costs. How was what I said ad hominem? I said the amp was shit, and I said you were being defensive. This was after you accused me of not having a job, attacking me with no basis. That's hilarious.

>>72930227
Absolutely. Their foundation overdrives are out of this world

>>72930227

>>72922669

treble-7.5
mid-don't know, the knob broke off
bass-6.5
volume-as needed

>>72932146
I'm looking into those too, I've come down to either a RAH or Galileo and can't decide

>>72932213
It depends on the tone you want. I used to have the RAH, it's a great pedal. It gives you a very clean distortion. But it's a very loud pedal. To get the same level of dirt Page was getting you have to crank the shit out of the volume knob on the pedal. I don't know how they do it but it's literally like having an extra amp. I used the DLS for a bit too before I bought my Marshall and found the same result.

>>72932042
Nice ive found my jcm900 to be very thumpy in a good way. Seems to be a marshall thing.

>>72930444
I hope you understand it's mostly one, maybe two guys trolling really hardcore. They keep calling me someone I used to argue with all the time years ago. It could even be that person for a I know.

That said, when you get a lot of people who think they know everything [like I used to think] talking loudly on this Chinese girl cartoon board, it gets out of hand naturally.

>>72932677
It's in the archives. He said something "i can get to you but you can't get to me" or some shit with a froosh pic. Then he responded saying fuck cause he forgot to take the name off.

>>72932668
The guitar was with me though a lot of shit but I sort of want to put it behind me. I don't know what to do. I'm moving and if I brought it with me, maybe it'd feel weird.

i just looked it up, may 9th, what afucking idiot

>>72932719
What name though? Froosh only ever posted timestamps on one trip so copycats wouldn't fuck shit up and I haven't seen it in a long time. Froosh has been a daily thing here for like 4 years, do you really think that's all him? I just highly doubt that. People are fucking with you. The only times I ever saw froosh in the last two years were on Omegle and he plays well but he doesn't even respond. It's hard to believe he's doing g this all day every day. For all I know he hasn't been on 4chan for literal years at this point. It's just a meme.

hello everyone, please excuse my ignorance but I need help with amp modeling software. Basically have no clue how to get started.

What is the hardware needed in order to play using my computer and Guitar Rig 5 as the amp?
I read about USB audio interface such as Focusrite but I'm not sure if I need anything else in order for my pc to recognize my guitar with no issues.
Also I was thinking of using a control pedal in order to switch between amp presets but I don't know how that fits into the configuration or if it's supported.

Anyone have any experience with this and can help please?

>>72933453
this is sick, give me a few years and ill be playing this

>>72933762
An interface like a focusrite is all you need to use Guitar Rig. Get the 2i4 since it also has midi in/outputs

The control pedal would have to be a midi controller so you need to buy a pedal (and an interface) that has midi capabilities.

>>72933762
I was going to ask if you could have picked a worse sounding sim

Then i remembered amplitube exists

>>72934370
haha well I use that as an example. I also have amplitube but hardware wise i'm lost..

I'd probably take a Phase 90 over the Small Stone and a CE-5 or MXR Chorus over the Small Clone but EHX is a top quality brand for what you pay

Got given a Legacy Thunderbird with EMG Select passive pick ups. I've noticed the G string is quiet as shit no matter how I position the pick ups, tune the strings, or set my levels.
Is it possible it's just a faulty connection or are the pick ups just bad in general?
If the best option is new pick ups what would you recommend? Must be passive and preferably relatively cheap.

Try new strings first, you bassfags are notorious for neglecting to maintain your gear... Or practice.

They're emgs, they're designed for people that only use the lowest string. The part of the pickup under the gstring is probably filled with sand.
