Batteries are just unreliable for pedals, and a lot of times just fuck with the sound of the pedal. It's not good, especially when power adapters are so cheap.

Sorry for being an ignorant fag, but what's the purpose of routing controllers like the Arc-3? Why not just actually use the switches on the pedals instead. Do you set presets on it like if I stomp on this switch pedals 1,2, and 6 will be in use. And if I stomp on this one pedals 2,3, and 4 are on. Or is it something else?

>>73071166

Actually its really handy. One less thing to worry about plugging in. Full charge will last several hours which is enough for any gig. I've been trying to simplify my rig lately. For me, the less equipment for rehersals and gigs, the better.

>>73071982
This is how you write any song.
Find a coldplay song, use the exact same chord progression, just in reverse. Maybe use a chord progression from a Gucci Mane song if you wanna get all experimental and shit. Just drown it in effects to the point where no actual chords are discernible, it's just a disgusting wall of sound. Layer 909 patterns in there, along with a cheap casio keyboard sound. And then scrap all of it just to do some basic ass fuckery with that chord progression, and sample some strings from a Sinatra song for the background.
For the lyrics, find some random foreign music shit. Doesn't matter what it is, helps if you like it though. Base your lyrics off of what you think they're saying, and run from there. Pretty soon you'll have some music.

Get that acoustic fixed dude, old SS amps are on the up and up these days, especially between Sunn and Peavey. Been trying to find myself on of the harder to find super Festival series amps for a while that Jesse from Death From Above 1979 uses, but they are getting stupid rare. Luckily I was able to find of these in stead, and equally stupid rare 500 series Vulcan Head. Its currently in Meridian, MI getting restored by a dude I know who works for peavey and love their vintage amps.

I saw a Peavey Mark III the other day round here, should've bought it...

>>73072870
Considering there are only 15 other ones known to still exist I'd say thats pretty damn rare. Price wise yeah its still fairly cheaper than most new tube amps because Peavey, but 2 other Vulcans are being sold online for ridiculous asking prices above $800, which is kinda crazy

Peavey are built like tanks and can take a beating for years. I have a budy of mine out in Iowa who is a huge vintage Peavey collector and has the rarest Peavey ever built, including a 1-off prototype of a 400 watt all tube bass head called the VTA-800.

I'm actually looking to trade my Sound City for a Super Bass, that's one of my dream amps. And most of the stuff I got was based on sheer luck and good online deals, but of course this was over a period of 2-3 years.

Why are these guitar generals always frequented by that bitchy nancy-boy who thinks people on the internet are impressed that he can blow loads of money on gear because he is financially supported by his parents?

>>73071737
Think of it this way, its a master controller that pretty much decides what pedals are on between your guitar and your amp depending on how you set up the presets. Its a loop switching system. You basically leave all your pedals on and have them patched up to this device using the built in send/return loops. This is so you can hit one button and turn on and off multiple fx at the same time instead of having to tap dance your way around a pedal board. Most of the big guitar players these days utilize them in one way or another for they're live rigs, and they also usually have a guitar tech with a second controller back stage in case he needs to change the fx during a song while the guitar player runs about on the stage doing solos and what not. Of course systems like these aren't cheap and require a lot of planning

>>73073155
You can def get it intonated, but just making the bridge flush won't fix the whole problem, you have to move the saddles back and forth until the 12th fret octaves are in tune with the open string octave, pulling them in makes it flat, pushing them out towards the fretboard makes them sharp

>>73073185

>>73073283
I use an EQD Avalanche run thats pretty dope, big brother to the dispatch master. Also Like the TC Alter Ego x4 cause the tape delay sounds are great. Boss DD-500 is also on par with the Strymon but at a cheaper price. And Seymour Duncan Just released a new Dynamic Digital/Analog Delay that's also pretty rad called the Andromeda

>>73073273
Sound City amps have a tone all of their own, it's very distinct from a Marshall or Fender. Clean headroom all the way and easily the best designed power amp ever put in a guitar amp. Playing one at volume produces the sensation of being kicked repeatedly in the chest. Not for the faint hearted.

Two very different amps. EL84 in the AC Vs. 6l6 in the Deville. The 6L6 has more headroom and does not break up as quickly as the EL84. These tubes tend to put out a much brighter tone with more top-end. The EL 84's break up a lot sooner. The Deville also has twice the wattage. Keep in mind unless you can crank the Deville you'll probably not notice the difference. If you you use pedals for dist/overdrive you'll probably benefit from the headroom.
If you want break up, the AC.

So good sound then? I heard that the volume drop on 100% wet reverse mode is a problem, it's not that bad is it? Could you roll some of the dry signal back in to compensate, or is the sound kind of bad?

the amp is small and will sound tinny and you most definitely wont be happy playing with those tones. Guitar might be passable, but for 200 the build quality is gonna be shite and youll just end up getting a new one later.

I just dont get the concept of buying shitty gear to start off with when you'll just be unsatisfied with it in a year and buy new stuff, or even worse it will not be as enjoyable to learn to play with bad gear and you might end up just dropping the hobby alltogether. If you just save up say 500-600 bucks you could be set for years to come.

If you're buying a guitar so you can have a guitar in the corner of your bedroom then go ahead, you'll be bored of it within a month and you won't have wasted too much money.

If you actually want to learn to play and you're not going to give up then save your money until you can afford at the very least a Squier Vintage Modified and ideally a Squier Classic Vibe.

Gibson headstocks only break when short players use nylon straps; the neck dives and hits the floor. If you're tall it's less of an issue, if you use a leather strap it's no issue at all because it prevents neck dive entirely.

I've recently got Suhr Koji really cheap, I absolutely love it, but I can't really tell if it would be worth it full price. I've tried some other comp, not boss, something no name, and I didn't like it as much, the sound was too different, with Koji it is almost the same, it's legit extremely hard to tell by the timbre alone, if you are only listening to it.

>>73076703
this. The idea dips into theory a little. When you have an understanding of where you can go and how it will sound, it's going to open doors on what you can do when improvising.

good, its a bit too rough to use as an overdrive (which is what i intended to use it as first) but as a distortion pedal it kicks ass

If the amp has a gain stage I dial in a little bit of that.

I wanted to do the J Mascis clean amp -> bunch of overdrive/fuzz boxes stacked thing but I don't own a proper guitar amp or proper overdrive pedal so the Rat is on most of the time.

I do love stacking the Fuzz E. Cat or Big Muff on top of it.

>>73078770
People misunderstand modeling combo amps. They're not really meant for playing live or in the studio; they're meant for the bedroom and for practice.

However, companies are trying to change this with higher power offerings that can be used on stage. 15W of tube power is plenty loud for a small or medium stage and probably too much at higher volumes at home. I have 6W VHT tube combo amps in my shop that rattle the windows over halfway up for comparison.

Modeling effects have gotten infinitely better with time and are continuing to be improved. Are they great though? Use your ear. What are YOU looking for? If you're looking for a Fender tube amp, get something non-modeling and get some pedals. If you're looking for a convenience in tones to choose from, that amp should be OK.

More stuff to fail on it though whenever effects like that are involved.

Squire put out a bunch of refins... Just painting right over but those were bottom-tier guitars. How much was the V?

>squire wut?
Example of factory refinishing.

Just look for relics made around the same time period Gibson. See if black guitars have white underneath. Pro tip: l don't see any. So plus 1 for a refinish.

there is a somewhat considerable volume drop but I don't consider it much of a problem, if I have it on reverse I have it around 75% wet and I just turn up the volume on my amp to compensate, I don't switch between clean and this when I'm playing. If I use other reverbs I barely stray beyond 50%

I just bought a Boss XT-2 and a Boss PW-2 for $45 a pop on reverb

Curious anon here: is a compressor necessary?
