Vintage lefty guitars sound better since they're lefty and haven't had plebs fucking with them.

Always remember young man, Lefties are naturally better musicians and therefore less likely to be plebs and start fucking with wiring when they don't know what they're doing.

Lefties are natural musicians with higher IQ's on average and therefore more likely to understand what they are trying to achieve.

Rare lefty guitars are beautiful, almost always like they've been in a time capsule.

Possibly stupid quiestion but i'm trying to solo and saw that the positions of the pentatonic scale correspond to a chord, does that mean that they follow the caged system?, so if i want to solo over an e chord with the pentatonic scale the pattern across the neck is the e position(starting in the nut) then the d postion and so on?
>>
>>73762237
Yeah, so he's playing with his non-dominant hand. As good as he is, (I don't know) he most likely could have been better.

Perhaps he should try and relearn with his left, and I'm sure he'll notice a difference after a few months/years.

"Scooped" mids refers to cutting back on a guitar's midrange, or removing the midrange frequencies from a recording/live tone. Generally, this is done to emphasize the treble and bass frequencies. Scooped mids are most often heard in hard rock and various genres of metal, where accentuated bass adds to the rhythmic attack of the music and higher treble pushes leads above the rest of the mix.

Outside of heavier music, though, scooped mids don't sound as good in a mix. The guitar is essentially a midrange instrument, and sits best in those frequencies overall, especially if there's only one guitar in in the band.

Cool, I generally keep my mid at about 45%, treble at 30%, and bass at 60%. I play a sort of aggressive experimental/prog rock with my band, so it makes sense for me to keep my bass a bit higher than my mids while still retaining a presence in the midrange of the mix. The other guitar player in my band scoops the hell out of his mids and then he wonders how my 20w head sounds more prominent live than his 100w combo (although his tone generally compliments mine).

The only reason I like mids high, is because I like that it gives a sort of "wave" feel. The music becomes a wash, as opposed to punchy

I dislike using pedals and effects, etc, so yeah, for whatever reason, as soon as I started playing I quickly learnt that I liked mids quite high

>>
>>73762605
>>73762262

Yes. You will find that the guitar "repeats" itself as it were over strings and frets.

While the backing is the E chord, it is helpful to look at the fretboard as a pentatonic caged system with different hand positions, however it's also limited as described.

Moreover, if all you're soloing over is an E chord, (EBE powerchord), you have plenty more options than the minor pentatonic.

For example, if you start the pentatonic scale shape on the 9th fret rather than on the 12th fret as you normally would, you achieve a major sound. It's a cool way to spice up tired old blues licks.

These 2 shapes are certainly not the only thing you can play over an EBE chord either! Try looking at gypsy and harmonic minor scales.

Honestly a regular analog delay can do most of the "usable" sounds that that overpriced thing can do. People need to stop treating guitars like synths and realize you can get plenty of crazy and diverse sounds from more traditional gear. All of the big "gearheads" in the industry know this. Stop relying on one trick pony boxes for your sound.

>Is non-stereotypical metal fine
No. Well, not for me, anyway. It's just not for me.

At the end of the day: Music has to sound good.
It shouldn't be who has the best image, who has the best folklore, who has the best marketing, who has the best haircut, who plays the fastest, who has the best technique, etc.

At the end of the day, it should just fucking sound good.
Now, I realise people have different tastes... but we can, and should, ALL agree, that there is objectively shit music, and the opposite. I'm sick of seeing "music is subjective dude, here check me farting into a microphone bro! It's art bro!" Fuck that!

If you're a musician and you care about your music deeply, then you wouldn't give a fuck what I have to say anyway...

No, why? Did cocaine say something similar?
It wouldn't surprise me.
He had a clear "vision" for sound, and could probably see past the gimmicky bullshit too.

Stereotypical metal heads are some of the worst musicians on the planet. They claim to be, and have probably deluded themselves into believing they are somehow "unique" or edgy, when in actual fact... they are the biggest posers in music.

Yeah bro! Totally unique bro! Totally! That's why you've all got the same haircut, huh? Oh! And same guitar?! And same licks... same amp. Same everything.

That stereotypical "metal head" look and feel, and people in other genres of that ilk played a HUGE part in absolutely devastating the overall perception non-musicians have of guitar, and guitar music.

They are the enemy

>Music has to sound good.
I think "good" isn't the right word to describe it, I think music should evoke something, attain a purpose/feeling. Maybe we could even say "sound good in a certain frame of reference".

Like if you're listening to gore noise (that's a thing, basically just take any contact mic, bang on some stuff and add distortion to it), clearly the aim of the music isn't the same as funk. The "frame of reference" for that kind of music would be violence, how rough and agressive it is.

I do share your opinion about doing garbage and calling it art. Just because it's novel doesn't mean it's good.

>>73763949
Had some jam playing with delay and "fretting" really high with the pick. Kinda fun but hard to make out anything complex with it.
Native Instrument's FM8 has an option where you can use it as an effect instead of a synth and you can feed it a guitar signal. Sounds kinda like shit though.

>>73764020
>Yeah bro! Totally unique bro! Totally! That's why you've all got the same haircut, huh? Oh! And same guitar?! And same licks... same amp. Same everything.
You'd have a point if this was the 80s but nowadays the genre is pretty diverse.

>>
>>73764072
Yeah, but the same with these new genres and shit you see now... I don't buy into "Me farting into a microphone is equal to Mozart, bro! cos' music is like, subjective, dude!"... Fuck that.

Anyway, maybe "good" isn't the correct word, no.
I personally try to put myself in the shoes of a non-musician and try as much as possible to listen through their ears. Surely you can remember you as a non-musician and how you perceived music.
I think that's partly a reason why many bands and artists first album is usually some of their best work.
It comes when they are most probably still fairly new to their instrument and being a "musician", they aren't bogged down by expectation and all of these other things that you can and usually get into as a musician.
I'm sure you noticed a change in yourself when you began actually PLAYING an instrument, instead of just listening to music. It's never the same after.

At this early stage, they are able to connect with non-musicians better, in some way, because the days of being just a listener weren't that long ago for them.

Well, that's my belief anyway. I can't be bothered to articulate it properly, since it would take up too much time, etc, but that's a gist.

Kurt loved to turn up the midrange on his amps and he hated "macho" men which I'm sure the stereotypical metalhead would consider them self to be. When he appeared on the headbangers ball in 1991 a month after nevermind got crazy popular, he showed up in a prom dress for the interview, conceivably to piss off the audience

Can't really talk about tone when your audio comes from a cheap mic.

>>73764215
>Yeah, but the same with these new genres and shit you see now
Bullshit. That's just speaking as someone who never got into the genre. It's like saying My Bloody Valentine and Coaltar of the Deepers sound the same because they're both considered shoegaze.

>>73764309
>delay can be used effectively when creating complex harmonies and patterns, especially with a little loop
Yeah I know, but there I basically used it for texture and to drown out the mistakes a little (getting the exact same note when you're where the 27th fret would be is fucking hard).
>>
>>73764209

You have a really good musical ear for what makes sense. I think the chord progressions at the end worked really well, maybe it would sound better with less of a "busy" right hand as it were, just letting the chords ring out with the distortion.

Pretty good for a year and a half, can you do any melodic lead playing/know any music theory?

start with the classics like dick dale, the ventures, the tornadoes, et al, and then move on to the 80s revivalists like shadowy men on a shadowy planet and laika and the cosmonauts

as far as sound goes, go for bright clean amps with big spring reverbs like a fender or a vox
and guitars with single coils and whammy bars preferably. surf music is pretty standardized and cut and dry but a hell of a lot of fun to play

Is the Fender Standard Jazz Bass too big a leap if I want to buy my first "legit" bass?

I've been using one of those shitty "rookie" bass guitars for and have been practicing and training with it for basically every day for 7 years and it's starting to break now, and I want to make the leap, and it's the one I've been looking at the most. Is it too big a leap or is it a good leap enough?
>>
>>73764618
well it's a little more complex than that
it's just that I think no one will ever care about what I've got to say or what I think so why even bother, I like playing so I guess for now I will just accept it

was great when it first came out but it doesn't really have a place in today's gear climate. If you want a high grade tape echo buy an el capistan and if you don't care get a memory man for cheap.
>>
>>73764771
the bridge is monstrous, nails that trebbley punch you hear on rush records and all of that, but the neck is quite disappointing, its very midrangey and unarticulated in general, works in a mix but doesnt have any character


but i totally feel you, i have a dedicated trace elliot just for it, it has a mid cut button that basically turns my ric into a lazer beam
>>
>>73764805
From the demos i heard, i liked the Belle Epoch much more than the El Capistan.

I actually liked the Empress Tape Delay more than the El Capistan too

The Belle Epoch deluxe is more versatile than it first seems, it has 6 modes with different sounds, including analog delay sound, chorus delay, vibrato delay etc (Actually the regular Belle Epoch has a secret vibrato mode too, but in the deluxe version the Vibrato is not an hidden setting)

Each to their own though man. that's why it's a good thing there is a large variety of pedals to choose from, everyone like different things.

what's a famalam?

guitar goes into a wah pedal (not shown in pic) and then into a Roland RE-201
everything's plugged into a lexicon alpha that goes into ableton

I usually have different channels with pre made effects, pretty much like a pedal board: overdrive, fuzz, flanger, sine erosion, etc
I got some VST and other various plugins when it comes to particular sounds

and then I try and mix them together when I'm recording a song

still dd 500 or a timefactor would be a way better investment. I don't see catalinbread lasting much longer in this market. They don't innovate enough to get the gearheads and too niche for the average player. Sure a few people use things like the dsp but that won't be enough say 5 years down the line.

I'm just saying at this pace there really isn't much of a place in the market for them. They aren't making things people really want or are just following trends that other companies have done. Most of their products now have better established brands that have better word of mouth repping them.
>>
>>73765110
> just following trends that other companies have done

Name another company that made something like the Belle Epoch deluxe, where you have multiple modes of different delay types with the base of an ep-3 voicing.

there isn't, so stop saying things that are not true

hi friends, looking for some advice on a few things:

1. has anyone tried out a Roland JC90? using a fender hot rod deluxe and I'm not totally content with the tone.

2. rat distortions? are the newer models even worth checking out vs. the vintage models?

3. phaser pedals. any suggestions on decent ones? it's an effect I've yet to fuck with and i'm very curious what ppl think the best phaser pedals are.
>>
>>73765150
>>73765110
gonna have to agree with crazy yoghurt, the belle epoch is exceptional for what it is and you cant really get much better at that price point
>>
>>73765090
How many people do you see using things like the Karma Suture though? I never see discussion on it. I never see people using it outside of demos. I've never met someone who has had it on their board. They have a long ways to fall but they are def falling from where they once were.
>>
>>73765164
yes, jc90 is has p nice cleans, very sterile which i like, but sterile in a very 1980s clean amp way

and the new rats are shit, get an old one

That's one product, and it hardly has made the same amount of hype waves that actual successful pedals have made.

>>73765201
I've never said anything about how good they are. Just that the market isn't really there.
>>
>>73765220
Catalinbread aren't Boss, Strymon or Digitech

They are more niche and they always were like that. Idk what the fuck is your issue with them
>>
>>73765171
It's still been overshadowed by the el capistan and newer multidelay machines nowadays.
>>
>>73765273
I like the Belle Epoch more than the El Capistan.

Different pedals for different people. the pedal market isn't meant for just one company to dominate everything
>>
>>73765267
They used to be strymon level. There was a time where a belle epoch was on EVERY board. They have failed to innovate since and have really fallen and will continue to do so.
>>
>>73765040
wow are you still here?
I thought you left
(got it? because you're LEFT handed)
I described the stereotypical rockstar dude, since from your last post you said "nothing good will ever come from a guy with the loving parents who goes to college" and that's pretty clichè when it comes to songwriting

my original point is that is somewhat hard to turn a little jamming session into something you would call a song: and I'm not even talking about just writing, but more about recording it, producing it
and I always do it alone, so

you sound like a decent guy trying too hard to shitpost, too bad

>>73765150
Dunno, I've always been skeptic when it comes to putting too much shit in one thing
seems versatile, but if you want to use a proper "chain reaction" fx it's probably better to use separate pedals?
>>
>>73765296
>They used to be strymon level
Wtf that's just not true. Strymon was always more popular than Catalinbread

>They have failed to innovate since
Which is why they are making pedals right now that no other pedal manufacture is making? come on now.

Stop acting as if Strymon and Boss are the most innovative pedal makers on the planet
>>
>>73764554
If I have clicked on this link 3 times now, others have probably done the same. I hope you're not basking in your views because two thirds or more are just repeats.
>>
>>73765321
not views but for actually watching
>>
>>73765320
I don't like either company all too much, but catalinbread has been making pedals for a lot longer than strymon. And they really aren't making the waves they need. This new belle epoch is neat I guess but honestly98% of their current lineup are things others have done better.
>>
>>73765302
I never said nothing good will come of it. Stop lying.

My point was: You, and people like you, generally, have nothing worthwhile to say. Music isn't your everything, you have things to fall back on. You aren't, uhhhh, troubled... in the same, or even similar, ways.
It's something of a hobby to you, and probably always will be.

Also, I don't get why you plebs think you can just sit down and say "Okay buddy, let's write a song hehehe!!!" as if it's some school project or something.
If inspiration comes to you, then write.
I mean, you can do whatever you want, just don't wonder why it sucks cock.

And I'm not shit-posting, this is my opinion, but you'll find I'm correct about much of what I've said.

You can do whatever the fuck you want anyway, though.

They are a niche pedal manufacture which makes high quality pedals. that's all i have to say.

You seem to not be a huge fan of them, which is 100% fine man.

how is the chorus/distortion on the JC90?

Not him, and not partaking in the discussion, but there is nothing wrong with music not being your everything. Everyone is in a different situation and everyone creates for a different reason.

Cheers man :) I always had an ok ear from playing music at an earlier age. Do you /have you played in any bands?

I've played guitar since I was a kid, and dropped it a few months ago
I've been fantasizing about getting a bass for a while now, it seems so fun to play. Is it as cool as it seems?
Never been in a band and playing guitar alone became boring / felt like jerking off
Bass seems really fun to play along with your fave songs... you can even turn tweek the EQ so the bass frequencies become almost mute so you don't play on top of the recorded bass, amirite?
>>
>>73765428
They weren't even that niche before, and any niche that they can occupy now are already occupied and they aren't doing enough to create their own.
>>

Who? You mean the mediocre "vwarrrrrrrppppp" movie soundtrack guy?
Jesus, you people have no taste and a very narrow knowledge of music.

There are too many hobbyists with nothing to say, no real purpose already

yeah ive played in a few bands, ive actually just started a new one and were doing red house painters covers and pedal mashing, the only local scene where i live is pop punk so business is slow

>>73765488
yes, this happened to me, i found bass much more rewarding than guitar and ended up coming back to guitar years later and picked it up alot easier, still prefer bass though

>>73765444
nice trips, but im afraid the only ''''looks''' youre getting is from that vid
>>
>>73765488
I've always preferred it because of how versatile it is in synergy with the other instruments. Of course they all work together, but with the bass you can back up, you can jam with the drums, you can lead, whatever. To me it was always more interesting because of that. It's hard for me to describe it as you can tell but I love it.

>>73765504
Okay.
I would argue that it's more important to focus on yourself and to not give a shit about what "hobbyists" or others do/think, but I won't knock you for thinking that. You do you, and I mean that, not trying to shitpost or anything. I hope you reach the goals you've set up for yourself.

>>73765495
Fucl off honestly, Catalinbread have been taking plenty of risks and they did plenty of different things that other companies don't do.

Look at this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ekFPhOd-No

It's a pedal i won't use personally, but you cannot deny it's something different and that no one else did.

They also made the Montavillian
delay which has a unique voicing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMwtpDE1nx4

So fuck off. Catalinbread have been taking risks

that's really great for one year and a half. keep doing it! your tone sounds ok, whats the amp, and pedals if any?

I don't necessarily think music, or any art form whatsoever, could be channeled only with emotions like pain, sadness and torment
and I still don't get what you mean with "people like me"


I never approached songwriting as a duty or a task to complete, I'd like to be more consistent and prolific when it comes to songwriting

I bet your favourite artist isn't mac de marco

>>73765488
bass is a fundamental instrument
works on so many level, melody, rhythm, tone and feel of the song

https://reverb.com/news/the-best-selling-pedals-of-2016

They used to be way higher than jhs, keeley, walrus, eqd and just about every other company on that list. The sft used to be huge.

They just aren't making what people want anymore. Also why would I buy the first one over a radical delay (which came out before) or buy the second one over literally any analog delay that can do self oscillation?
>>
>>73765621
>I don't necessarily think music, or any art form whatsoever, could be channeled only with emotions like pain, sadness and torment
Neither do I. Nevertheless, tormented people are happier on days they are not sad moreso than people who are always "level" or happy/whatever.
Extremely high highs, but mainly crushing lows...instead of a constant level middle ground of mediocrity.
Rest of your post doesn't make sense so whatever

>>73765670
Not at all
I'm probably an "asshole" though
>>
>>73765607
thank u anon, and dw the tone thing was a joke, but i use a 1981 trace elliot gp11 and a boss ce-5 for my 80s tonez

and thats a really nice strat, really tasteful riffing too my man, especially that lick at 4:10

>They just aren't making what people want anymore
Not all people want the same things. some people want Catalinbread pedals and some people don't. you can never please everyone.

It's true many of the more recent pedals they made are more niche, but it doesn't mean they are bad. Also the Belle Epoch deluxe is probably the most hype they had for a pedal since the regular Belle Epoch came out. it didn't come out yet but it comes out this month

Don't judge a pedal manufacture by how many units they sell

>>73765700
Also the reason your statement "They just aren't making what people want anymore" particularly irks me, is because its just a gross generalization.

I'm a person and i want catalinbread pedals, and many other people people do.

You should have written: "Many of their recent pedals are much more niche and don't have a large mainstream appeal"
>>
>>73765808
Yeah I saw on your band fb page. I'm not far away laddy. Might come to one of your shows and throw a bottle of piss at you
>>
>>73765817
If that were the case the belle epoch and sft would still be huge, but they aren't and they've failed to retaliate.
>>
>>73765855

raper detected
>>
>>73765857
The Belle Epoch still sounds exactly the same as it sounded 3 years ago.

Watch this demo from last year comparing various Tape Delay pedals:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=729c1YkDyWc

Look at all the people in the comments who say the Belle Epoch was their favorite tape emulation pedal

I haven't seen a single person express hype on the deluxe except for you. Better get it because it's going to be a collector's item in 10 years! Simple fact is that it has long been replaced in it's spot in the market, just as the company has. Fun fact: if you see Guitar Center selling products new from a company, they aren't very niche nor are they a passion project.
>>

no worries lad, but if you throw piss on me ill tell ur mum

Here, have 70 pages of forum discussion with people hyped about the Belle Epoch deluxe:

https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/catalinbread-belle-epoch-deluxe.1777415/

The fact people don't talk about catalinbread in your particular bubble of musicians doesn't mean others don't talk about it too
>>
>>73765987
I mean, I'm already a musician. And /gg/ is really the only place I don't post my own videos. I use other social media platforms; recently started posting to Instagram a lot more and there seems to be some interest.

>>73766008
You don't look 19, you're still in school I reckon. And the rest of your band look like rent boys, sort them out
>>
>>73766090
Then whats your fucking problem, bro?
I'm interested now, so post something.

>>73766028
The belle epoche deluxe looks like a good pedal from what I've seen/heard. Heard good things.

The Belle Epoch sounds better than the El Cap without being stereo

I've started writing most of the band's music lately. New stuff sounds like Radiohead meets The Mars Volta meets free jazz.

I know, the idea is to see if we can get the audience to clap to a polyrhythm. It actually worked at our last show.
