day 4 of my amp in the shopi don't know what I was one about this dinky practice amp not taking pedals, today I plugged my board into it and it sounds finenow i can use my looper and get gud at improv before my next lesson
The new Valvetronix design looks killer.

>>129270995i know its you LGBTele.
Yeah I'm getting another electric instead of an acoustic for my next guitar
>>129271065Looks cool, Anon. Is it a real neck-thru?
We going to ignore the fact that anon posted the article about Scotty west getting convicted of possessing child sexually abusive material and was v& in less than 30 seconds last thread?
>>129271149downright peculiar
>>129270995Easy af amp to fix. fix these instead

>>129271175Scotty West appeals from his conviction, on his guilty pleas, of two counts ofsexual battery in violation of R.C. 2907.03(A)(9), felonies of the third degree; one countof disseminating matter harmful to juveniles in violation of R.C. 2907.31, a felony of thefifth degree; and one count of illegal use of a minor in a nudity-oriented material orperformance in violation of R.C. 2907.323(A)(5), also a felony of the fifth degree. Thecourt sentenced West to 60 months each on the sexual batteries and to 12 months eachon disseminating matter harmful to juveniles and illegal use of a minor in nudity-orientedmaterial, all to be served concurrently. The court also designated West a Tier III sexoffender with a lifetime registration requirement every 90 days for the sexual batteriesand designated him a Tier I sex offender with a duty to register annually for 15 years forillegal use of a minor in a nudity-oriented material. We will affirm the judgment of the trialcourt.
>>129271159i could probably figure out how to fix it myself if that was something I wanted to learn. got a lot going on rn but when things slow down it would be fun. i have a DIY overdrive pedal kit for when I want to get started with soldering

>>129271272America’s most wanted bad boy
>>129271263The new oranges are just one pcb that's easy to drop in and remove. It's the kind of amp that smokes a fuse, or a screen resistor, or the plastic input jacks break.
>>129271309From what the tech told me he thinks it was a power tube that blew which means the fuses would be blown, which is why the amp won't turn on. Gonna take a look at the capacitors too, he said they use cheap capacitors in these things to save literal pennies and they have a short lifespan.
>>129271272An online guitar academy eceleb shill that just so happens to be a pedophile AND a /mu/ janny

>>129270995how do you like the Rockerverb?They seem pretty cool even though they aren't like the Orange amps that made Orange popular
>>129271434neat
>>129271467two channels, effects loop, amp reverb, and the dirty channel has more of a psychedelic fuzzy sound out of the box than other amps i've played. it's definitely opinionated with how it sounds and leaning into that gives better results than fighting it. i really like it with the strat, it's middy and adds that chewiness you don't get out of a fender amp
>>129270956how do I play like eddie van halen
>>129271649don’t think about scales or notes just focus on a shape and rhythm and use a ton of legato and sprinkle in some taps and harmonics

https://voca.ro/1cyZteDum7R9 improv from earlier, kind of sloppy and repetitive but some cool moments I think
>>129271852not bad. that backing track is driving me fucking insane tho
>>129271852if you play that little ascending 4 note run one more time I'm going to break your hands
>>129271876Yeah its kind of shitty and I wasnt really locked in with it>>129271893lmao that's totally fair I felt the same way after listening to it, to be fair though I was improvising and trying to develop the idea but yeah it just sounded repetitive.
>>129271701buy street estrogen
>>129271919you've gotta learn to separate developing an idea and performing. when you're practicing to yourself it's fine to take a little time and play around with an idea, but it's annoying as hell for someone else to listen to. it's also really hard to get out of that habit if you never practice as if someone is listening to you
>>129271939give him some credit that backing track had zero pocket
>>129271939that's solid advice thanks for the critique
https://vocaroo.com/1fVA3tBpAaIIon a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the least shitty, how shitty is this? I don't necessarily mean the track itself but the sound, cause I bought a cheap ass audio interface on temu and have been fucking with it.
>>129272040the guitar sounds like it's being played down the street and that second instrument is the thinnest, tinniest, most digital sounding shit i've ever heard. sounds like you sampled a SIERRA game from the 90s
>>129272187they're both guitars. the same guitar, in fact. I'm still trying to figure it out alright. the first guitar sounds far away because for some reason the amp effect wasn't being applied to it and it was just raw output being recorded and I don't know why that happened. yes it is a digital amp, so if that's what it sounds like then good that's what I'm going for. also how do I make better sounding music?
>>129272240>how do I make better sounding musicby being an artist. you make something, you think about what you like and don't like about it, you try more stuff. use your own taste to guide you. if you have shit taste you'll make shit music but at least you'll like it
>>129272240idk how to make good sounding music because when I listen to the pop top 10 I want to blow my brains out
>>129271939Bruh have you any idea at all where you are?If you are a good guitar player you aren't here.

retard herehow do i learn to actually play songs using chord sheets or by improvising? i have literally done nothing but play tabs and noodle since i started playing the instrument and at this point i feel like i have some kind of mental condition since i do not actually know how to pick up a guitar and play something without having a tab in front of me.i know nothing about music theory, have not memorized the notes of the fretboard, and cannot read sheet music eitherplease don't bully me too hard
>>129273244It's illegal (in the US) under the Consumer Review Fairness Act for companies to penalize honest reviews, even if said review would reflect negatively on the brand.

>>129273344You gotta learn things in order of importance. If you're some savant virtuoso genius you can absorb 2, 3 and technique by virtue of having a very strong 11. Playing by ear: what you hear in the song and repeat it, what you hear in your head and express it2. Know your fretboard - note names, scale patterns, chord patterns, arpeggios3. Theory - what to play over what chord/what progressionFor improvisation, if you must learn anything at all it's by playing stuff by ear. Copy then regurgitate/recreate then modify. Eventually you'll improvise stuff that is an amalgamation of all the stuff you ever learned (or even failed to learn and execute, making you sound uniquely like you)>>129273002Thanks>>129272797Shits hard I triedhttps://vocaroo.com/1aGO0lFYcacrhttps://vocaroo.com/1doBz5Vyzu6xwhat's the other song you played over?

>>129273691>all of that to then hit recordget an audio interface(focusrite/behringer) and hit record in whatever DAW you have mate
What are the effects being used on this guitar in the right ear from 0:24 onward? Obviously delay, and I was thinking some kind of phaser or wah but I can't get anything to sound that way. Maybe it's just a synth being layered overhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkY0We_QSss
>>129273723it sound like phaser, but a very sophisticated digital one that line6 would have put at some point in the 2000's
>>129273717yeah it's what I'm doing, that is a visual representation of how the thing connects from the interface to the DAW, and I'm just taking the extra step to connect a digital amp because I don't want to use an actual amp. I can blast my eardrums into oblivion without being connected to anything but the headphones into my computer. it really looks more complicated than it is.

As I’ve posted in the last two or three threads, I just got a 1966 Fender Bassman and I’m trying to plan ahead. One thing I’m hearing about it from my research is that it’s excellent with pedals. What are some pedals you guys love?
>>129273304PhilX
>>129273605why lie about this sort of thing? the views I guess, but how is the music being produced if it isn't him performing it in the videos? he got a ghost guitar player? is it AIslop?
>>129274011There is a /gg/uy here from missouri that can tell you all about shittin/gg/ cum
https://voca.ro/1j8G5zkLtMVi
>>129274118If you watch him play live it's very apparent that he cannot play nearly as fast or accurate as he does in his meme videos. He could still be playing it, but he could also be doing layering and editing tricks to make his playing more impressive than it actually is. To me it's pretty dishonest
>>129274118Unc people edit their clips. And by people I mean 90% of instagram. He can play somewhat competently but instead of showing that he stitches a hundred takes and aggressively noise gates, sustains notes unnaturally and compresses to the point where on video he flicks a string lightly and it's strummed loudly.
>>129273605I'm so glad people are exposing this zoomer fraud for what he is. He gave normalfags this impression that being a "Guitar God" meant doing soulless mathrock solos sterile tones. He probably did real damage to rock as a genre, so fuck him
>>129274141>>129274146that kind of dishonesty never ends well and people will call you a fraud even if you can play some rendition of what's seen in your videos. hell, isn't the entire point of a live performance to showcase to everyone that you CAN actually play? might as well just start from the premise that people don't want to buy into the idea that you're a virtuoso if you're actually not. dude must be so incredibly self conscious about himself that he can't bear to be seen without the pretense of being seen as a genius or some shit.

Have you never been to a live show, ever?
>>129274488shiii lemme see that wiring from the back baby
trying to learn lead guitar -- its been a massive gap in my skill set for years. i can mindless noodle around in shape 2 pentatonic for a while and sometimes find something interesting but its mostly repetitive, reused variations on the same riff and I have no idea what I'm doing just that it sounds off. Is there a resource to start learning this? I enjoy melodic riffs and melodic soloing...not necessarily shredding but like mid 2000s Thrice, power metal like Stratovarius, Futures era Jimmy Eat World, Dredg, Deftones, etc. I don't know where to start but trying to break out of that 'blues' sound I learned.
>>129274895No, sorry. It’s over for you.
>>129274895Good luck. Just note that repeating things is also ok if it crystalizes in your stylehttps://voca.ro/18G2arIBhRdu
>he's in the pentatonic instead of the major scale
If I ever learned to play guitar I would rip Douglas P's style off so fucking hard. I'm talking straight control c into control v action.
>>129273723Sounds like what you said and also the other anon, kinda reminds me of a sample and hold sound. I remember a bunch of digital delay effects on multieffects or in daws that were like that sound, check out presets on the dl4 and maybe whatever Mike Einzinger was using on 90s/early 00s Incubushttps://youtu.be/0WNT5L4QInk?t=170Could just be a bunch of delay and phaser sweep
>>129274895I find that listening to music in a long block session really programs the mind with ideas at least for me, I hear a lot of songs or passages and my brain completes them with different notes than whats actually played in that variation you get something new, it takes time to absorb the sound and to express it subconsciously through your fingers thats why you do scales and shapes and don't be afraid to play around
https://voca.ro/1bssjiliYJlq

>>129275050This is cope. If you lack the creativity to improvise after years of guitar playing then you will never be creative. It’s not a skill you can memorize or learn.
>>129275157https://vocaroo.com/10kwbrlKuffI
https://voca.ro/1nRxk1bkSSPo
>>129275157dis ni/gg/a never heard of influences.
>>129274895If you like book learnin' I recommend Soloing Strategies for Guitar by Tom Kolb and Chord Tone Soloing by Barret Tagliarino.Soloing Strategies gets right into it starting with pentatonics and variations then major/minor and modes etc. It's like a quick start guide that will give you something to work with right away.Chord Tone Soloing teaches you the theory you need from the ground up. It's serious shit. Keys, scales, chord progressions, arpeggios it's all here. Prepare to spend months/years. I've been working out of a chapter near the end of the book for six months at least and will continue doing the exercises for the rest of my playing life. It's arpeggios in time in one position with a backing track switching to the closest note in the next chord's arpeggio. It's insanely fucking hard and infinitely scalable.Barring that and or in addition to, learn major and minor over the whole neck, learn solos you like BY EAR (it just takes practice like anything else, you can do it) and practice improv daily. Steal licks, mutate them into your own, compose your own. and play play play. and record yourself. and and andYou can do it.
>>129275157this is not true at all. just because you're stuck in a rut and refuse to play outside of your comfort zone doesn't mean you have to stay that way. all it takes is intention

Want to never worry about tone again? Get a HSS Strat.
>>129275597I could have done some cherry picking but I thought putting the whole thing is more honest. It's really just for my own study, trying to ebb and flow, tell a story, all that shit. Thanks for listening to any of it.
>>129275644Fair enough. Have a good day anonI hope I improve to play faster too

But it seems the 1966 bassman doesnt have an fx loop If you have an idea of your favorite player's pedals that's a good start
>>129268980The specs read nicely, but I can't bring myself to spend 2,5k on a guitar as a hobbyist.
>>129272491fuck off, we're gatekeeping it so it doesnt become woke and gay
yeah i think im buying two of scotty wests .pdf files
>>129274895>dredgMah niggah. I think Mark Engles is probably subconsciously my favourite guitarist. I don't know how he manages to pull off those sounds off live, with that much delay and reverb. I love the tremolo picked lines.
>>129274107Keep it simple, don’t go crazy on the pedals. Keep your modulation to one at a time and use it sparingly (I only use my chorus here and there, it’s not an “always on” pedal), get something like a blues driver or a ts9 turned down for your crunch, and something on top of it like a Super Overdrive to boost it for your actual dirt, since presumably you’ll be playing at reasonable enough volumes that the bassman will need some help breaking up (I play a 50w tube amp and this is the case for me). Finally something like a compressor can be helpful to add sustain in any solos or lead riffs that need that bit extra. Pedals should be used sparingly. Find 3 or 4 you like and stop there.

Hey /gg/ I'm interviewing a few guitarists for my metal band. What's a good question I can ask to see if they are leftists so I can weed them out?
https://voca.ro/13tnElxMXaHE
>>129277168ask them if they like burzumif yes, basedif no, leftist

I always hide my powerlevel when talking to people about metal unless im at a place with like minded people lol >>129277188Burzum isnt enough, everybody likes burzum. GBK and 'slent are the true poseur filters.

lol Martin Miller teaches the ‘CAGED’ shapes. He’s trying to sabotage your playing
>>129272383>plays Eric Clapton licks and symmetrical scale shapes really fast with distortion
>>129277345Yes, easier to play too
>>129271701https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1769788093711884.webm
>>129277364Black metal discussion always devolves into some sort of pissing match. You're not burning down churches or making album covers with your bandmember's corpse. I have no compunction to cater my tastes to suite your opinions.
>>129277444I don't get why some musician's cry over simple music as if it doesn't have its place
>>129277403Luca Mantovanelli teaches the CAGED shapes too. And Jimmy Bruno, but he calls them "The 5 Shapes" (formerly taught as "6 Essential Fingerings"). There's something very off-putting about Martin Miller to me, but I'll admit he can play well.
>>129277345Yeah that's how I play my archtops. With a small body guitar you could play like that with a strap, but it's also doable. Only issue for me is the cable gets in the way sometimes. Also it can look kind of zesty
Incidentally I hate the A shape scale because it stands out as the only one where you can't get a nice evenly repeating pattern with quarter, 8th, 16th, or 32nd notes without making the patten on either the high e string or low E string asymmetrical. I find 3nps shapes similarly annoying in that you can't play all the way up and down the shapes and have them fit nice and evenly in the bars so you can cycle it over and over again and always start on '1.' (Without doing some fuckery like only playing 2 notes on the high e string.)
>>129277544Why are you practicing scales? That’s a waste of time. Learn songs
>>129277565Practicing scales is fun.
I am afraid to buy a guitar. Every guitar's review that I read, someone mentions uneven frets and needing a fretwork. I'm looking at the Schecter Nick Johnston HSS and Yamaha Pacifica Standard Plus. Why is it like this? Why can't one expect a 1000$ guitar to have its most essential part, the fretboard, impeccable?I've already returned a guitar and they gave me store credit. I am nervous about returning another one.
>>129277565why are you learning songs instead of making them
>>129277759Get a Suhr. They can be bought sight unseen
>>129277771Learning songs teaches you how they work. You're just trying to make people feel bad and inadequate because there's something about the thought of nerds learning to play guitar that's threatening to you, an insecure and manipulative weirdo.
>>129277787:p
>>129277759Because $1,000 isn't what it used to be. It doesn't buy something of high craftsmanship anymore. Most of the pro players that you see on YouTube are playing three to $5,000 guitars
Is Neural DSP the best amp sim?
>>129277905yes its basically the standard

What's this type of binding called?
>>129277345Some do use it but I find the upper horn keeps poking my chest

might buy a les paul

>>129276744where's the tuner
has anyone tried the boss odb3 on guitar, I'm in the mood for distortion but I don't like most of the pedals called that
>>129278623he might have one built into his amp or clip on tuner
>>129276744>bassman will need some help breaking up (I play a 50w tube amp and this is the case for me)There is no point to playing a 50w tube amp if you're not even getting close to amp breakup. If all of your dirt is coming from pedals and your tubes aren't overdriving, your tube amp is doing literally nothing but acting as an expensive EQ. If you're gonna buy a 50w amp to play in your bedroom, at least find a way to attenuate it. Otherwise, you should be playing a 0.5 watt amp or something that can go down to that level. Turning down your gain/master is defeating the purpose of using a tube amp.
I'd get an attenuator even for a 20 watt desu, it's just good to have
>>129277759The frets are the second least permanent part of your guitar next to your strings. You will re-fret your guitar several times in its lifetime. Don't worry about it. You should be getting your guitar setup after buying it anyway.
>>129278721>you will need to refretnot if you got stainless steel like a real playa
>>129278700see >>129270995
>>129278700Entirely untrue. Tube amps give a far superior clean tone to non-tube amps. There's a reason the biggest audiophiles use tube amps for their record collections.
https://youtu.be/IkaHpb-LrDU
>>129278663Yeah I use a snark, I just don't keep it on the guitar at all times, it usually lives on top of my pile of fender amps, seen just off the the left of the image lol

>>129271065aria pro makes sick axes, anon.
>>129271575try it with an old school overdrive in front with a delay in the loop.i fucked with this setup at the store when it was open, it brings out a nice resonance you don't get with just the amp gain.
>>129279074he’s right in that you shouldn’t buy a big amp and drive it with an attenuator because it will sound worse than a lower wattage amp that uses the same circuit and is driven naturally. 95% of people in /gg/ don’t play outside their bedroom and all solid state amps are shit
>>129271649you start with ac/dc.
>>129271701be anti-skill.
>>129272040the interface is not the issue, the way you have the amp set up in the daw is.
>>129272943decent rendition of foxy lady by hendrix.
>>129279074>There's a reason the biggest audiophiles use tube amps for their record collections.Audiophiles are retarded and should always be ignored.Analog amps/tubes objectively degrade your sound. We want it on guitar because the tubes, transformers, and speakers round out transients and the high end for a smoother sound but it's overall a degradation of the signal.
>>129279348hence the superior tone. it’s music, not a surgical room
>>129274895you just need to learn the major scale.it's literally just two more notes.
>>129279273Yeah but I do play live, and drums are loud as fuck, so I like a lot of clean headroom. I’m genuinely not sure what the issue is.
>>129279391welcome to the 5%
>>129276744chorus goes in the loop, not in the front.all you're doing is making your articulation blurry sounding.if that's what you desire then by all means.
>>129277168trick question, anon.leftists can't understand music that makes sense so they're not into metal.
>>129279074>Tube amps give a far superior clean tone to non-tube ampsThe REASON the clean tone is superior is because when people are talking about a "clean" tube amp they are talking about edge of breakup. There is literally no difference between a tube amp and a digital amp sonically if the tubes aren't breaking up. You are not getting that "superior" clean tone when your gain and master are at 2.
>>129279391>I do play live, and drums are loud as fuckif you amp was set up correctly they wouldn't be.low - 8mid - 6high - 5presence - 8
>>129279266I use a BD-2 but pushing it with clean boosts honestly sounds better for overdrive. A carbon copy in the effects loop definitely gives maggot brain.
Just play chromatic exercises for 4 hours everyday lmao
>>129279525what a retarded take. anyone with two brain cells to rub together that different guitars will require different eq settings because of the way amp models color the sound and the size of the room
>>129271701Start with weed then move up to heroin
>>129279569I actually am working on my chops for the chromatic scale, but I'm a speedlet. I'm having trouble playing 80-85 bpm with 16th's.
>solid state amps? terrible!>solid state overdrive? awesome!
>pedalsgay and gross
>>129279654There is no need to play faster than that
>>129279720Maybe not for the chromatic scale. It's my default for a daily warmup/exercise. I'll switch to something else sooner or later.
>>129279430dumb take, these kinds of effects can go anywhere. putting it in front of dirt makes it less pronounced, after dirt makes it more pronounced. not everyone is going for chorus to be the final, most pronounced effect on the sound
>>129279746I think these kinds of exercises do more harm than good. You are training yourself to play scales, not music. Our brains and muscles are really susceptible to training, and will continue to behave in the way that we train it to. Skip the scales and play something musical, or soon you'll find that you can't play anything musical.
>>129279763that’s true but I think they’re okay for a beginner who still has string and fret accuracy problems. at that level you will likely see faster progress adding in some finger exercise because the level of songs you can play will be quite low
>>129279373No, it was claimed it was a "far superior tone" when it's objectively notAudiophiles are retarded because they are introducing more distortion to something for an objectively worse and noisier tone from an analog medium that probably used digital in the production process or cutting vinyl
>>129279810superior tone, inferior replication. if you want a sterile but accurate signal go direct and use neutral headphones. guarantee it will sound unpleasing to the ears
>>129279763I do play musical ideas. The chromatic scale is a warmup that takes a fraction of my practice time, and I treat it as an isolated exercise for my fretting hand.
>>129279843Anon, they used analog equipment to CREATE the sound. When you add additional shit on top of that, you're interfering with what the track is supposed to sound like. If you're going to fuck up the sound with a tube, why not add a distortion on top of it? You're just a kid playing with toys. Obviously we are not meant to add additonal effects and EQ on top of an already-mastered track. It will sound different, and you can tell yourself it sounds better, but that's your own dunning-kruger kicking in thinking you know better than the professionals that mastered the track.
>>129279877I would argue that they used whatever recording equipment they had available and mixed it with available playback devices in mind (tube amplifiers and record players). no one has a modern record collection
>>129279915If the original track was mastered specifically to be played on a tube amplifier because of the era, it makes sense to use a period-accurate tube amplifier to play it. However, this is not what anon was saying. He said even if the fidelity is worse, tubes are just objectively better tone. This is retarded.
>>129279941gotcha. makes sense. I love me tubes
>>129279075You suck. Post voca or don’t post at all. You are a cancer on this board
Being against tube amps just proves you’re a poorfag coping. More possibilities > fewer possibilities simple asIf someone plays a tooooob amp at low volume in their bedroom this does not or should not affect you. Good for them.
>>129279992No one is for or against anything, we are educating people so they know what they are doing. If you buy a tube amp, you clearly care about tone and shit, but if you are playing a 50w amp in your bedroom with no attenuation it comes across as screaming "PLEASE HELP I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK I'M DOING". We are helping.
>>129279992I only care when snake oil salesmen tell people that you will not sound like angus young unless you specifically buy a Gibson SG and run it through a 100 watt Marshall stack and turn all the tone pots to max. That’s not true and is a waste of money
>>129279075based and objectively superior solid state tone pilled
>somebody on this planet wants to play with CraigWhat excuse do you have /gg/
>he doesn’t pay $100+ per pick for his vintage tone picksNgmi
>>129280016Kek
>>129279856You'd be better served doing it with arpeggios. There's nothing useful about chromatic practice spam, trust me I've done a bunch of the spider exercises at periods through my playing career. Useless

>>129280042lmao who the fuck is manny
>>129280351he’s the worlds foremost authority on tortoises and their eradication. to be honest these would actually be worth money if they weren’t already cut down into a tiny useless shape, mostly bluegrassers are still using tortoise and their picks are bigger than these
>>129277345That’s how I play Les Paul’s I don’t like how squashed I have to get to play lead stuff normal pose
>>129280404They’re fucking detestable, I love tortoises.
>>129277168invite your one black friend over and call each other jokingly the n-word in front of the new guitarist so he knows you're not some racist /pol/ nazi but also not a pussified leftytard.see how he reacts and if he's visibly outraged or uncomfortable you'll know what to do.
Ever since i started playing Iommi riffs and solos I can't stop boomer bending. Help me bros I don't want to be a blues lawyer.
>>129280012Nobody says that though you’re arguing with a straw man people buy amps because they’re cool
>>129277345if you strap your guitar high like the tech nerds you're basically always playing in this position.I find it quite comfortable even though it can look goofy.
>>129279075newfag here.I need a QRD on this guy. Why does he live in the crack shack?Why does he post this stuff on a daily basis?Why drop big cash on pedals but play on a $30 Orange mini?
>>129277345You pretty much need it if you want to play long stretch voicings, unless you practice in the normal position or have big hands.
>>129280545not really. everyone says you need to buy a tube screamer to sound like srv and you don’t. he used it mainly as a clean boost
>>129280523well it’s been banned for something like 40 years now at least. if you want tortoise shell just buy a blue chip that’s why they were designed and sold to begin with to get the feel and sound of tortoise without actually using it
>>129280012you could post a scientific paper and vocaroos that prove that you can do the Angus sound through 20$ Behringer pedals and /gg/ would just deflect any real facts and just post POORFAG POORFAG. It's kinda pointless trying to adress such topics here when someone like BBA will post the most basic bitch playing yet counter any reply with his expensive gear.
>>129280598>clean boosta mid-boost, anon. a fender guitar into a fender amp has no mids. the tubescreamer adds the mids. that's the whole point and the reason the tubescreamer is famous, just because it's a boost that adds mids. a clean boost doesn't do that
>>129280633just lower the bass and treble and you have boosted mids
>>129280532every style of guitar music besides jazz uses bends
>>129280644EQ knobs on an amp are after gain, anon. You'll make the amp sound different but you won't be punching the mid frequencies of your tubes. You don't need a tube screamer, but you do need something that does the same thing. Or just an amp that isn't so scooped.
>>129280646thisit's like complaining that a trombone uses glissandoit's the entire point of the damn instrument
>>129280646you can get away with bends in jazz too if your slick
>>129280664I get your point and you are technically correct but I think close enough is ok considering toan is also in the fingers and he changed his sound and amps frequently throughout his career. either way the argument is inconclusive so in my opinion just go with what suits your needs. a 5w Marshall dsl5cr sounds close enough to a plexi in the right hands
>>129280575> need a QRD on this guy.He’s a schizo that sucks at being interesting. He will also gove himself samefag praise >Why does he live in the crack shack?It’s his grandmas house >Why does he post this stuff on a daily basis?He’s retarded and has no self awareness, also he’s a narcissist that is desperate for attention >Why drop big cash on pedals but play on a $30 Orange mini?He’s not going anywhere, he doesn’t play in public, and he gets his money from welfare
>>129280687bends add a ton of emotion, it has to be the right type of tune. the way ella fitzgerald slides her vowels into the next note, that sort of thing
No bends! No slides! Play the thing correctly.
>>129280695my point is mostly that it's not about the brand or the snake oil or whatever specific thing someone else used. it's better to understand why they used it and what it was doing technically, and build an understanding of the signal chain and what happens to a guitar signal between the string and your ears. then with that understanding you can buy whatever gear will do what you are looking for. that is a lot more based and interesting than googling "what gear did SRV use", watching a youtube video, and buying whatever they were shilling
>>129280723I agree and that was also my point. the only reason I brought it up is that I feel like the industry overall does not share the same belief.
>>129280646I don't like guitars going out of tune so I rarely do more than quarter or half steps
>>129280788those are boomer bends. if you want to bend it like corgan you're gonna need to do 2-2.5 steps
