But who was output jack on pedal ??

Bc I killed the last thread with my last post I'll ask again here: any good guitar strap recommendations?

>>73820392
Make one

>>73820392
Levys or Mono straps if you can justify spending $50-60

PLEASE PLEASE help me

Empress Reverb or Strymon BigSky?

>>73820548
eventide space instead

>>73820534
I cannot justify spending that much so it looks like Ernie ball

>>73820354
I bought a Line 6 Helix but now wish I had just bought a Fender Bassman because I literally only use the Fender Bassman patch with spring reverb and a few others including the orange and the mark.

Also, please poorfags, dont respond.
I dont give a shit how your shitty IBANEZ metal playing sounds through your shitty modeling katana modeling amp.

Finally went to play my best guitar and found the neck broken. Maybe I didn't loosen the tension properly before UPS got it. I didn't take the guitar out after delivery. I just did a visual inspection and it looked good. It's been in storage for the last two months. Fuck!

Anyway, wat do?

>>73821976
Nigga I only change my strings every few months.
How high are you tuning them? Get a tuner on your phone and tune it that way. Also when you first string the strings, grab them and lift/stretch them before you finish tuning. This helps stretch them out so they settle faster.

I have a Gibson SG and a Bassman but its next to some copper modern art pieces on a hardwood floor with some Scandinavian furniture. The mahogony gibson uses on thei guitars is just sexy artwork. It looks clean and tasteful and makes women I have over think I'm an intelligent man. Your rig could be sexy and make you look like a well kept sophisticated pussy slayer but its just a shit hole of cords and and literal trash i mean come on.

I'd sell all the pedals and get a fractal FX or just get a blues driver and a memory man and clean that up.

Should I get a used Ibanez RG2550 from 2006 for ~660 dollars?

>>73821976
I broke 2 strings in my first 4 weeks and then havent broken any in about a year.

>>73822662
how cute :3

I'm looking to get my first amp. Mostly into high gain, loud and heavy music, but also some clean stuff.
Would a roland micro cube GX suffice for a bedroom situation or should I ignore that and get a bigger (10 or 20 watt) one? I could really use some advice on this, as the supply of "beginner" amps turns out to be pretty huge.
I had my eye on the yamaha THR10, but that's quite pricey (which isn't necessarily a deal breaker) and may ONLY be suited for bedroom use and not for doing anything with other musicians.

I'd tell you to kill yourself but I'm sure the poor hygiene diet, and lack of exercise that the lower class embraces as a 'lifestyle' is doing that already.

>>73828053
I noticed that the Vintage series Fenders do and also non Gibson non Fenders do.

Others wise yeah you can spend alot on Gibson and Fender and sell it for the same or more depending on your skills. I've only lost money on one guitar over the years and that was because I was lazy and sold it to Guitar Center instead of privately.

Waves - Guthrie Govan

>>73828287
To me it seems like a pedal you would love or hate. I think you have to try it before you buy it.

Anybody mitigate ground loops and or noise in their signal chain by using an isolated power supply for their pedals? I'm thinking about getting a Voodoo labs pedal power 2, and I hope that would get rid of the noise in my signal chain because currently most of my pedals are daisy chained together.

>>73828370
well, i cant really try it where i live and im gonna have to order it online.
there's always the option to return it so im just gonna order ir and see for myself, thanks for the feedback

>>73828287
The feedback/videos I've seen give me the impression that it's very much a one trick pony and arguably one of the worst of Earthquaker's lineup but if you can return it I guess it doesn't matter

>>73828330
just try to land the notes you hear.

It just teaches you how to play song. It doesn't teach you proper technique or theory. It might be a fun supplement for a beginner, but you need theory on the side. Note that I haven't played Rocksmith

I've used this amp for two years. I'd say, it's passable for practicing at home if you have very low expectations. I've also used it in the rehearsal room and it can get over a drum kit, but you have to really crank it.
I wouldn't recommend it, get a cheap cab and a Micro Terror instead.

You could get a blueridge (solid wood chinese martin knockoffs) they are very good.

No, don't buy into the marketing/collectors hype for buying new guitar. Anything with a good setup and decent pups will suit you just fine.

Try to find some used squire affinity or classic vibe series, those are by far the best value on the market. I would recommend starting with an acoustic though, like a baby taylor. The most crucial thing is that you try these instruments out. Don't fall for the online buy meme

I upgraded from my Squier to a Fender this way. Did three payments of $200 with Sweetwater. I'm assuming you're talking about Zzounds with those 8 payments and it's not a scam at all.

The Foo Fighters wouldn't sell out arenas without the cult of personality built around Dave because of Nirvana's success

The only people who like this guy at balding 30-40 something year olds who wear Affliction T-shirts and cargo shorts. The "Homer Simpson" men. Docile, fat, lazy, etc.

He was Nirvana's 6th drummer, he'd be working in McDonalds without Cobain.
He didn't even do a lot of the drumming on Nirvana records anyway.

Foo Fighters is boring radio rock. It's funny how the same people who say that Foo Fighters are "true rock band, keeping the genre alive" say something like Nickel-back is terrible when they're pretty much the same safe, bland radio rock.

Where did the string break? Lube the nut with graphite (paint the slot with a pencil) and make sure the slots in the nut are actually wide enough and the string doesn't catch on them.

So whoever told me years ago that distortion and boost pedals should not go in the FX loop was full of shit.
Put my Big Muff after the preamp today and holy fucking shit, I did not know just how MEAN a Tele can sound.

lol why would someone plug his grandpas guitar to his grandpa old wood radio and wood speaker

>>73831109
Thats a horrendous headstock tbhwy

>>73831129
Rude! I assembled that amp and speaker myself, just like the Pi clone and the A/B switcher. I like the look.

>>73831145
I agree, at least in terms of looks. It's slowly growing on me though and the sound and feel of the guitar as a whole are just so nice, I don't mind it.

You want probably nice analog delay like a memory man, keep a deeper fatter delay sound.

But then again who the fuck plays ambient bass... hahaha

May YouTube some dudes and see what they say

>>73831265
Yes. Tits, hips and lips.
Protip: If you're going to compare it to a Snap Paul, at least don't mention that its neck is even 'snappier' than that of the Gibshit.

>>73820392
It depends honestly on what kind of guitar you have if your guitar is neck heavy I highly recommend a leather strap it will eliminate neck dive. Other than that I prefer softer materials for straps. Either way strap locks are a must

>>73831488
its not even the neck that breaks on the les paul, retard, its the headstock. your joke doenst fit

how can i get that nice fugazi distortion sound?

>>73831181
Its called stockholm syndrome anon. The telecaster is holding you prisoner. Try a different guitar. Perhaps a different tele.

>>73831859
I know but I don't feel like screwing it open, removing the speaker, drilling holes, putting in holders for the cover, putting it all together again, ...
It usually just sits in my room anyway. If I had a band or gigs and I'd have to lug it around I'd bite the bullet and do it but I don't really see the point right now.

>>73831918
Makes sense I gig regularly with my band so I would have to do something with it personally. I love that tele though I just can't justify buying one yet with the type of music we play. I do own a strat but it's an HSS so I can get away with it.

>>73831983
Yeah I had some disposable income and wanted to try something radically different from the thin-necked whammy-equipped HH Jackson I used to play. Couldn't be happier, even the looks are growing on me even though I used to think Teles looked disgusting.
If you have 900 € to spare, get one!

Does anybody really care about AxeFX other than -core kids? Does it do anything weird/interesting or is it just a collection of tonez, man? I haven't seen anything truly compelling done with one yet.

>>73831109
What are the specs on that head having a hard time telling what she is internally

>>73832186
It says what it is right there on the front plate. I think I read somewhere it's similar to a Brownface? Wouldn't know, never used one. A/B class, 15 W, tube amp. Preamp with clean channel and "dirty" channel, which has two overdrive stages (so basically, you get either no overdrive, a little OD or a lot of OD). Some switches for tweaking. Clean channel has 2 band EQ, OD channel has 3 band EQ. Independent volume control for both channels. FX loop. Output 4, 8 or 16 Ohms.
You can buy an addon circuit board that lets you add a footswitch for channel switching; I made my own from scratch (left button switches clean / OD, right button switches second OD stage on/off).

What do you do with these? Do you just plug them into a cab or do you need to plug them into an amp? From what I can gather the Axe FX-II just plugs into a cab and then you can pick which amp and cab you want to emulate but what about the AX8?

>>73832349
I can't even find anything about the Axe Fx II's or the AX8's maximum power output but since they're just modellers / multi effects units I doubt they provide much in the way of amplification. Ideally you'd plug them into a neutral amp (essentially a power amp that tries its best to not affect sound apart from the volume) before the loudspeaker.

well not too low that it limits the tone
I don't play that hard either. I just lower the bridge until my 13s start buzzing, then raise it again a few turns. If your frets are dressed and leveled right and you set your truss rod right then you can get a pretty good compromise.

>>73834560
What if I have strong calloused fingers and low action?

>>73834572

You get an allen wrench and turn the bolt in the recess at the headstock, or it is sometimes in the soundhole

I can say rocksmith is a great tool to learning the guitar it helps build your muscle memory for chord shapes and gives beginners a sense of satisfaction that doesn't often come easy to beginners. It doesn't teach theory persay but it teaches basic guitar skills to help with simply playing the instrument. anyone who is serious enough about music before trying rocksmith will eventually learn theory on their own but with greater ability as they already have the fine skills needed for the instrument and those who don't, well there needs to be another punk revival I guess

>Effects Pedal Edition

i don't know shit about pedals
what are the most essential fx for a guitarist?

I like playing stuff from nirvana, radiohead, tool rhcp, the mars volta, rites of spring, jack white

I mean, there's no particular sound I want to achieve, I play various genres, I just need the basic stuff to grow and develop my sound

>>73835342
Maybe just get a cheap multi-effects unit and figure out the kinds of sound you might be interested in.

>>73835342
probably reverb, compression, distortion are my favorite pedals in that order
not that I can afford to buy any

>>73835342
>>73835380
or get a decent multifx like a zoom g3 and stick with it. most times you cant tell if a effect is analog or a digital simulation

>>73835342
Distortion
Reverb
Delay
Loop

>>73835408

>>73835411
that looks interesting, thanks

>>73835449
neat, thank you. In that specific order?

>>73835342
Nirvana and Jack White are really guitar -> amp tones

The most 'essential' pedals would probably be a Wah, Delay, and maybe an EQ. I recommend watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj53Q-pisbw if you don't know about the types of drive.

Are Dagonfire pickups actually good or just overhyped cheap shit? I was going to turn my P bass into a PJ bass with the SD antiquity pickups, but I'm thinking about getting their standard jazz pickups after hearing the above average reviews saying they are "hidden gems" for the price.

If I wire it as P volume + J volume + Master tone will it give me a better palette or just some more treble?

>>73835480
A Big Muff is a fuzz. They're used everywhere in rock apart from really heavy metal a-la death/black. They're especially prevalent in Indie and Stoner. Stoner is essentially built around fuzz.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9kMoN7hmlE This song uses Fuzz. Specifically a BAT Pharaoh, which is a modified Big Muff circuit.

An OD is probably the most popular of the three. They're used for going from clean to light gain, such as a blues tone, or used to boost an already crunched amp to go into high gain. The difference between this high gain and a distortion pedal would be that using an OD as a boost preserves the amp's tone.

A distortion can go from clean amp to ultra-high gain. This is the type of pedal you would find in extreme metal. They're not only used in that style obviously, I'm just giving an example. Using a distortion pedal into a clean amp will give you more of the pedal's tone.

Some classic examples of the three would be the Big Muff, the Tubescreamer, and the Boss DS-1.

>>73835487
That video might help me.
I have a 25W yamaha amp, a new one would be my ideal next purchase

actually I just bought a ZOOM G3Xn via amazon
I think its a pretty solid, heavy duty fx machine
also, I always wanted an expression pedal

I assume I can hook it up with my computer and record some shit with Ableton

thank for all the info guys, I saved a lot of money this way
BOSS pedals are pretty expensive

>>73835677
thanks for the technical post, I actually screencapped it


>>73835513
why would you turn a P bass into a J? they sound completely different and I don't know if that's a good idea

>>73835487
jack white uses a decent amount of pedals i dont know what you're talking about. he uses fuzzes and whammy pedals all over the place

>>73835784
Yeah but using a whammy to substitute a bass player isn't really a necessary part of his tone.

Don't act like the guy obsessed with barebones blues rock is The Edge.

>>73835741
Yeah the zoom has both usb and midi capability, so you can record direct from it. It's good and also has a looper built in, but I don't personally like any of the dirt effects on them.

>>73835826
he's not the edge level with pedals, but he's not completely barebones blues rock despite what he says and people believe. he's really barebones on the early albums though

>>73835741
I wouldn't be turning it into a J bass, I would just be adding a bridge J pickup for versatility. P neck and J bridge are very common setups.

gem or cliffs of dove

>>73835827
yes hearing the video reviews it sound like it would need a little tweak here and there, I like the fact that you can adjust each and every preset to your needs

>>73835867
>>73835784
he uses a whammy and a good amount of distortion, but he skips from blues/folk to garage rock on the same album (blunderbuss)
he's got a very distinctive sound, simple and loud yet kind of complex with little details here and there, kind of nevrotic

>>73835970
I totally misread, I thought you were switching both pickup
I think you're going to have a more versatile sound, despite maybe lacking the distinctive sound from "both basses"

>>73836253
the metronome sound near the end cracked me up. he's right about metronomes though. they aren't really that helpful, being able to play along to songs and matching a human drummers feel is more important than matching up against some perfectly timed beat, no one plays like that.

Should I buy an overdrive if I already have a distortion?
My distortion gets really noisy and loud really easily but it sounds kinda lousy at lower settings so it would help if I could get something that beefs up the tone

>>73837548
yes. try a soul food. leave the distortion pedal for distorted leads and get an over drive for low gain blues crunchy stuff. you can gain stack them but it depends on how the pedals work together, some do, some don't.

>>73837129
