https://youtu.be/ZdBky2R3dk0
I'm looking to get a looper pedal. Im assuming they're all pretty much the same?
>>129981133Never liked his lessons he can't apply what he teaches.
>>129981156just make sure it's midi capable so you don't need to replace it when you buy a drum machine or something in the future
Is it hard to make a guitar company? I don't want to build them, I just want to create new designs and sell them.
>>129981176A good guitar company would be hard.You could outsource some designs to some Temu builder..but that'll probably still require a hefty bit of capital. I'm sure they all have preset templates for usual shapes and you could just stamp whatever name you want on them. Much cheaper, but still would require a hefty bit of capital to start.Secondly, if your guitar designs end up being remotely successful, then expect said Temu builder to steal your shit and start building it themselves..then undercut you with cheaper prices. This happens to a lot of people who made the mistake of dealing with China. Both big corps and smaller businesses. But it's the small businesses who can't compete with the undercutting and get crushed.OTOH, I heard Ola has his Solar guitars built in Spain. Much smarter.
>>129981169I already have one. I just need a way to control my bass loops when jamming with my friends. The ehx canyon looks good and cheap so I'm checking that out
>>129981176That would be called a graphic design artist not a guitar company if you don't plan on building anything.Yes there is a market for graphic designers but its niche and pretty competitive and now its filled with AI slop.
>>129981230Ola Englund designs the guitars of his brand even though he personally doesn't build them, it is still his company
>>129981247Hmm, semantics that I haven't really considered.I'll think about it for awhile. First thought is Ola Englund has a following so any of his designs come with built in interest so any third party builder would be happy to complete the request.
>>129981282I think he also had sig guitars before this, sponsored by someone.. Washburn or something. I forget. And an amp model by Randall or something. So built-in online fans + built-in potential customers of his gear already.
>>129981211Only his "Made in Europe" tier is made in Spain and are only a handful of models. The rest are from Indonesia and Chine. I forgot which factory is from Indonesia but I'm sure is one of the better ones (Cort or PT Wildwood or both). He still owns the brand.
>>129981313Indonesian guitars can be good some of their luthiers are great, its when they don't pass the savings off to you then it becomes a problem.Indonesia probably has a larger guitar culture than the USA now in some sense.
You will never see a mature, adult man with good taste and self respect play a double cut guitar or anything with a brightly colored or sparkly finish. Are you highschoolermaxxing or adulthoodpilled, /gg/?
>>129981366>10 tops: for when you’re emotionally 10
>>129981313Well, hopefully it's Indonesia. They're Muslim, and for better or worse, they have some semblance of ethics and probably better business practices.
Volume pot is super scratchy and deoxit isn’t cleaning it out so I’ll replace it but with that being the only issue on a used guitar that’s no big deal at all. So far so good, feels like a Strat and sounds like a Strat. My go to guitar for over a decade was a roasted maple neck Strat with jumbo frets and its nice finally having another Strat but with specs more in line with what I like as I get older and my preferences change
>>129981418give us a demo of the neck and bridge pickups
>>129981397Ok Sneako
>>129981418What year is that the tuning pegs look weird.
my cawk is hard rn
>>129981438Wtf are you talking about.
>>129980969I have mostly the same sentiment but my 2025 AVII was a piece of shit in ways that weren’t even fixable
>>129981464Oh wait, I just remembered who he was.No, I'm not a Muslim. I just said "for better or worse". There's definitely downsides to Islam, but they are still not inclined to the same behavior. I would rather do business with the morality police than a lawless shithole. Places like China and India are dog eat dog hellscapes and everyone and their mom is hustling and scamming.
>>129981418cheap pots have a silk screened trace, eventually they will completely wear away. the good CTS pots have molded traces that are solid
https://youtu.be/ej95s3triFs
>just started using overdriveHoly fuck that sounds good. How much is overdrive used in modern pop songs? I don't listen to pop but I'd like to know if they use overdrive or gay clean sounds
>>129981572A lot of modern pop bands crank the distortion and call themselves "Modern Metal" bands.
>>129981587I was talking about actual pop/pop-rock
>>129981572distortion has been around for a long time and was known as tube saturation, it probably even goes further back to acoustic instruments in some capacity but I haven’t read anything on it.
>>129981608when i think of overdrive in pop rock i think of this songhttps://youtu.be/0XH3oMNKApI
Spent 2k for jazzmaster.
>>129981685>jizzmaster
any guys here have experience with the cheapass pedals you get on amazon or that type of shiti watched a video where the elder onions elemental at JHS worked with some dude's "affoardaboard" and really liked a flanger that was featured, I didnt have one and was gonna check it out, and was also furtively eying a NUX chorus i saw. i have like $50 to burn, anything else cool or funny
>>129981427ok every pickup with every overdrive and fuzz pedal I have on https://voca.ro/1bBRGqHldLJ9>>1299814421965 reissue so idk old boomer spec those old guys were crazy>>129981499Probably just old and used, it takes more time to take the guitar apart and put it back together than it does to actually replace the pot so I’m not worried about it. It’s 12 years and old and I knew it was used and scratchy pots are something that bug me anyway so replacing a pot is nothing >>129981705Just bought a $35 Chineseium modulation Amazon special pedal and it’s pretty ok for just getting weird borderline unusable noises out of it. Honesty just buy used beat up Boss pedals instead
>>129981726god that tone is so /gg/ so squashed and boxy just need some ambient noise to really shit it up.
>>129981572Now build yourself a Harmonic Percolator.https://voca.ro/1iZnPVD5yDm2
>>129981742he’ll yeahhttps://voca.ro/1lb6U8pAJjip/gg/ vocas are all about phone mics and audio shitposting he will yeah brother
>>129981705>slime hereI bought a bunch of the JOYO brands just to fiddle with on guitar and bass. Most suck or feel too digital (reverb), but the only one that I didn’t sell back was the EQ and a basic looper (I’ve had BOSS loopers that works like a dream, but for $30 and small enough to fit in a gig bag, it’s good.>pic rel for the EQAfter watching that “where does the tone come from?” series of videos, just dialing in EQ had me sounding like Dime, Fripp, Greg Ginn, and Jaco. Same deal for distortion boxes, where I’d flip MOSFET and “Presence” when all it took was a nudge of midrange and voila, I can mimic a Misfits record.The JOYO ebow sucks though
>>129981797link to vids?
>>129981366>double cut guitarVery wrong
>>129981901Isn't he a schizo chud though?

>>129981102hey guys ive been playing my new japanese 7/8 strat for a little while now and its legit so nice. a full two pounds lighter than a typical stratocaster and the shorter scale length isnt really that noticable despite having long fingers. japanese fenders are a really great value in general! not a blemish on the thing. the pickups are maybe a little anemic but im not a shredder anyway

https://voca.ro/1hjvtRIGaMG2
Had a deep conversation with my drummer about who we want in our band and who we just wanna jam with. Finding someone who cares about music as much as I do has been so great for my confidence/motivation in my 2nd year of bass
>>129981797>>129981836>>129982136>slime again yes aw lawdy Yes, the Jim Lill vids. The most convincing one was the workbench guitar, the mic test, and building his own cabs. The entire music industry is pretty scummy and elitist so seeing them get taken down is nice. However, this doesn’t apply to acoustic instruments as music. That’s most certainly where craftsmanship and precision come into play.
>>129982216Now you'll never be able to talk to him again without thinking of frotting.

do you guys unplug your guitar cable from your interface after your done playing? i read you can do it 1k times before it goes bad. i feel kinda weird leaving it in there 24/7, afraid im gonna trip on it one day and rip it across the room. also im gay and trans and play a music man if that matters
>playing into chinese built interface through a web connected computerhave fun getting your riffs stolen
>>129981418Exercise it before you replace it. Spend 5 or 10 minutes going back and forth.Congrats on the new beauty guitar, Anon. Those AVRIs are indeed some of Fender's best.
The pentatonics clicked, bros.
>>129983660jokes on you 99% of my riffs aren't worth stealingi do like the idea that a bunch of pakistanis are sitting in an office listening to /gg/ vocas just Incase there are good riffs hidden somewhere
>>129983592If you’re sticking it in 1,000 times and it goes bad, I’d say it had its run and other shit might go bad with it>but muh $100 focusrite is part of my sound>how would I ever fix this? If you’re afraid you’re going to trip over it, your setup isn’t optimized for recording. If it’s a tripwire just unplug it. >the slime used a shitty used $40 8-input mixer (pic rel) that leads to the “hardwired by Velcro” audio interfaceThis setup also featured a 3-button wireless remote that turned on and off wall plugs.>button 1: regular computer + peripherals >button 2: KRK speakers + sub + Xmas lights>button 3: mixer + amp + music shitEasy to remember and gets rid of that “damn, I dunno if the mixer should be on for a week” anxiety.You’ll still trip over shit, but the mixer gives you a lot more control. Plus, it’s easy to go into WORK MODE or RECORD MODE without blurring shit.>slime didn’t mean to be harsh many sorrows and many arthoes to you based on your musical prowessdont let me down
>>129983592I roll the cable and put it on the desk when I stop playing
>>129983731my gen 1 focusrite 18i20 has been left on for like 3 years straight except once when i went on holiday. the only issue i had was the tip of a cable popped off inside the channel 1 socket.10 minutes and a screwdriver to pop it back out and good as new.anons will try and tell you that you NEED x y or z but if all you're doing is getting your guitar signal into your pc it doesn't matter all that much.once you wanna hook up mics and record amps etc, you might consider something fancier for some nice preamps but if you don't know why you would want that, it won't be the limiting factor in you sounding good anyway
>>129983040Your Autumn Leaves? It was nice. To be fair some anon here said he posted a clip of one renowned classical guitarist and it didn't get a (you), go figure kek.>>129983310Super compressed makes it feel easy and good but the latency of playing it live through in the browser is horrible. Fun track though. Is it possible to download just the backing track? A phone micd shitposter inspired shitpost: https://vocaroo.com/1lX9az8lBD7f
>>129983660I only use a native TempleOS outside of shitposting.
>>129983758in a pinch, the rocksmith usb cable even works as a guitar interface. it isn't pretty but asio drivers get rid of latency and you can toss it in a backpack no worries. i wouldn't use it for serious recording but for practicing or demoing its fine
why does my 2i2 make noise? its only 3 months old and i can rotate the cable in the combo jack and i either get sound (perfect) or lower sound with some noise or no sound. i told myself i wasnt gonna go scarlet again but i ended up doing. should i get some contact cleaner or something?
>>129983777cable tip, busted cable or the contacts inside the interface if it got moisture in there.check with another cable first to rule out the cable being old and beat up.the surface on the cable tips wear out over time, might stop making good contact, or the solder inside the cable end might have come loose, pretty common but easy to fix if you have a soldering iron, it's just 2 connections.but yeah if you have some contact cleaner, get it on the tip and ram it in and out a bunch, spin it, whatever, might work
>>129983731>>129983731some other faggot here, if you are going to buy a behringer mixer / audio interface, stay away from the cheap ones, the X32 rack for example can be had for like 500 bucks used i believe, since the WING is out now, its 32 chans in and 32 out direct to your pc and its supported on linux, also it isnt noisy.you can even smack that shit directly into reaper on linux

Total damages are $15k + pain and suffering>sometimes the slime cries>” anons will try and tell you that you NEED x y or z but if all you're doing is getting your guitar signal into your pc it doesn't matter all that much”u rite. I just offer what worked for me so I didn’t have the feeling of a patch cord between my feet and the carpet. I mean, you could literally use a headphone jack if you didn’t have an interface, but there’s reasons goddamnitFor me, I just enjoy the ability to have an external effects loop on the mixer; it was a cheap upgrade and it allowed me to leave everything plugged in (a guitar, SM-57, condenser mic, and one wildcard cable for whatevs). >when slime wins his settlement, his house will have a tracking room next to the nude photography room + instrument storage
>>129983808>looks goodthanks for rec. part of my ignorance is just being cheap, so I always equate digital interfaces with being one headstock smack away from being trashed. It’s also nice to have faders and I’ve mixed live sound on a dinky mixer back when I did college radio live music. Being able to yank a cord rather than digging around with that many channels when something goes wrong just eases my mind…
>>129982338Bitcrusher? Though sometimes I get those weird artifacts unintentionally on Reaper when it's tabbed out. Nice chords made me wank on it https://voca.ro/14YvllSGM6iC>>129983817Thanks man. I thought it was soulful and authentic™ enough having lots of flubs and missed target bends

I’m finally doing it man. I wanted to learn guitar my whole life, I tried multiple times, age 9, age 16, age 22, finally got it to stick somewhat at age 27 and now at age 30 I just practiced for like 5 hours today. Dreams really do come true
Do high mass bridges make a difference or is it another boomer snake oil
>>129984490snake oil, but it should be said that all fender bridges are dog shit and should be replaced
My technique starts to fall apart at 120 bpm. Is that a problem?
>>129984602only if play songs that are 120 bpm or faster
>>129984602Try a 2 mm pick
>>129984490>>129984592I've never found a reason to complain about a bass bridge ever.It's hard to screw basses up, no matter what's on them. Short of neck warping.
>>129984791bass vibrates too much, the fender grub screws back out over time. also they lose their height adjustments during string change just not a good design for anything other than being cheap
>>129984891IMO basses benefit more from having a string through bridge, it's weird how it's uncommon on bass but is standard on fender style guitars
>>129984932the squier telecaster bass used to have it, then they went for a hardtail/top-load thing
>>129983886Nah just a cheap Chinese modulation pedal with a bunch of weird sounds
Made a list of stuff to ask my teacher today
I now realize I'm dyslexic after reading my note again
>>129984932yeah I feel like it makes the strings have more tension and makes the low notes more punchy. Is 4chan shitting itself for anyone else?
>>129984490Bridge is one of the few tone-things that has a measurable and reproducible effect on tone. Even tailpiece changes on les pauls consistently do something. Even on bass, changing the bridge does something. You don’t need it but maybe you will like your bass more without needing the additional EQ stepsThe others are the fretboard woods hardness, the nut, the fret wire and the strings. These facts might hurt some poorfags feelings because they already told themselves the stuff they cant afford doesnt do anything
>>129985074different necks have different dead and live spots and people attribute these to sustain or openness created by the body wood and neck attachment method and other bs>its set neck so the tone channels in the wood grain are linked by glue!>maybe the paint is improving sustain by letting the wood breathenope its literally always the neck
done posts tone myths as fact unless you’re going to provide empirical data. we’ve been over this a hundred times
i dont care about none of that crap i just play my guitar and adjust bass mids and treble on my amp until it sounds good with my tone knob rolled off to around 8 so i have room to go up in tone if needed

Well, thoughts on Vintera III?
>>129985506vintera line never offered enough to justify the price tag imo. same quality as the indo standard
Week 2 of playing guitar, think I'm going to drop it for good. I just have zero desire to pick it up, and will be going back to my bass. Just because I like listening to certain music does not mean I want to play it, it turns out.
>>129984051you strike me as more of a TransTube kind of guy
>>129985506They’re fine guitars but for the money you can buy thing: Japan and have a better guitar, or wait for a good deal on an old US made vintage reissue and have a much better guitar. The Vintera series would be really cool if they were all under a grand. At their price point they are directly competing with Fender Japan and for that money I’d much rather have a Fender Japan model with their higher QC.
>>129984030Tubes sound better>uhhh not in the mix after being recorded and thats all that matters! NOT MIC’D AT A BIG GIG AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS (AND THINK OF THE POOR SOUND GUY!) ROOM TONE DOESNT MATTER!Sorry, guitar is a musical instrument first and “just” a piece of equipment for studio production second. Tubes sound better. t. Wasted two fucking thousand dollars and ultimately lost a few hundred on resale trying to make a kemper and various arrangements of power amps, cabs, and powered FRFRs sound better than a boss katanaA $500 chinese made el34 powered head and a budget non-undersized cab will stomp all over that shit for in person soundLeave the “professional tool” attitude in its appropriate professional environment. The tube vs nottube debate shouldn’t even exist. Tubes are for sounding better direct to human ears. Nottubes are for being more convenient for making crappy rock music noises through a PA for drunk people.
>>129985506all fenders are the same. you’re just paying for the exact paint color you want, body contour, and static hardware specs like bridge and pickup routing and mounting hole positions imho. mij, mia, mim, mii, mic qc myths are just that. there is nothing about the japanese that makes them better at making guitars. all of my worst guitars have been japanese. all fmic products leave the assembly line slightly subpar and often require some luthier finishing if you have high standards (frets and nut) regardless.
amp sims seem like way more fuss than just plugging shit in to the right places
JP, US, and MX Fender guitars are all the same overpriced shit. No fender, new or used should be more than 1k max. Fuck Fender.

>>129985904>promises you toanwood>7/10 guitars acoustically dead>paint on the binding up the neck, chips in the binding down the neck>body binding alternates between scraped too high and too low>bridge drilled wrong, saddles bottomed out to intonate>neck set too steeply>tailpiece trying to escape into the stratosphere>brand new guitars switch is corroded already, one pickup sometimes works>first two frets play sharp>d string pings>headstock breaks when you hit a pothole on the way back to return it>warranty dept says you need to detune before traveling>a gibson is only good enough
>>129985929some would consider all that authentic
>>129985929boomers blown the frik out
shoutout to the real ones keeping the thread alive while capcha services are shitting themselves
>>129984602Listen to this advice (>>129984660)Once you start getting into 120 BPM 16th notes, the friction of the pick either has to be paper thin (John MacLaughlin) or super stubby (Shawn Lane). My picking made leaps and bounds as soon as I gave a stubby 2mm with a rounded edge with 9’s. For thicker strings (11s), I used a very thin pick and had to compensate a lot with amp volume. Super stubby also made economy picking + sweeping make sense. I could switch styles from digging in riffing to technical passages, where I’d almost follow my fretting hand’s direction rather than dealing with synchronization errors and “brute forcing” through strings. When it came time to go back to riff mode, I just eased up on choking on the pick (unless I need some pinch harmonics)It’ll take some slime to get it all going, but you’ll feel that breakthrough past 120bpm and then speed mostly seems irrelevant.

Oh good more schizoposting.
Oh good, more schizoposting!
man what a shit show this guitar has been. 40th anniversary squier telecaster vintage edition:>"vintage spec" means the all the measurements are a mish mash of metric and imperial, no replacement pieces quite fit the right way>pickups were trash out of the box, replaced them with wilde bill lawrence microcoils>sounds fantastic now, but bridge plate pickup mounting spot is too fucking narrow because indonausea measurements and "Vintage spec" caused a fucking issue, whole bridge plate had to be replaced so the pickup wouldn't short out>fender bridge mounting holes are slightly off but the string holes lined up, got the screws in as good as they'll go without damaging anything and called it a fucking day>replaced saddles to compensated ones because the weathered vintage ones sucked ass out the gate>control plate fits full size pots, but is not standard fender distance between knobs, had to buy a replacement>all replacements mounting hole screws are off, so either i fill and redrill or grind out the old one>say fuck it and make a 3d model of one with the perfect measurements instead, will eventually use it as a template to grind the pots out to the proper distance>replaced weathered knobs because old ones no longer matched fucking anythingall this fucking work for a 300 dollar instrument lmao, but fuck it it's as perfect as its gonna get now.
>>129986936fug, forgot pic
>>129986944I kind of like all of that matte... even the metal is matte. You're saying it didn't come that way?
>>129986936sorry bro vintage spec just means it has a shitty neck radius, the truss rod is in a bad location, and it has a terrible bridge. it’s still gonna use chinese “too small” pots. idk what you expected
So learning and improving at guitar is supposed to feel incremental right?
>>129986959pickguard is anodized aluminum, so has a sort of brushed matte finish. 3d printed control plate i used a textured plate to get that look, thought it matched up really well. then the bridge is smooth chrome on the top and then has a textured brush to the part underneath the pickup. i think it came together really well only thing kinda iffy is that the plate is plastic essentially, so i dunno what kind of shielding/grounding it no longer has. i'll worry about that later, sounds great for now.>>129986966pots were full size cts, the plate just had 60.2mm spacing, and i needed 63. also neck radius is 9.5, and it's roasted maple, and i found that incredibly rare for an instrument so affordable. checked a lot of boxes from the jump, and i went into it knowing i'd be upgrading some things to make it my own. i think i did a fair job all things considered.
>>129987099Sure. But every increment is supposed to feel great. Whether you're an old theoryfag or some kid who just learned a Sabbath riff.
>>129987099what i find difficult about music theory is it's not linear. every concept is dependent on every other concept. it's incremental in that you learn one thing at a time, but understanding often feels out of reach. you've gotta value those times when things click and your understanding levels up
>>129987131the older i get, the easier i feel like concepts like music theory are to learn, it's memorization that becomes harder for me. i feel like i have to hammer locations and connections more, but the concept itself no longer feels out of reach.i guess it's good to know that you can hammer in certain things at any time of your life, and that certain things become easier to understand at certain points.
UPDATE THE FUCKING TRACKING REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>like how my strat feels on my body so much more than my Les Paul that I barely play it now>get the autistic feeling to sell the LP and buy a HH hardtail strat from CharvelBros...
