There has never been a good deal on a pedal board. Just go to the hardware store already.
Thomas Lewis
This just came in the mail, its neat. The guy was selling it because he said it was too much reverb. That was exactly what I wanted. This thing gets weird.
Jackson Jones
For a twangy/fuzzy sound should I buy a Gretsch Pro Jet or a 50's Squier Tele?
Robert Moore
If you do exactly what he did and build one yourself, you'll realize this is a bad deal.
Adrian Turner
does anyone have one of these? i want one so tell me if its good.
Andrew Morales
> twangy fuzz
Wat
Brody Reed
It looks horrible. The tweed looks terrible, not fitting well at all. You can make one cheaper yourself, or perhaps just get a pedalboard from palmer or something.
James Murphy
not both at the same time, / is or
Ethan Williams
Jesus you buy a new, comparable pedaltrain for that.
Robert King
>more than 6 strings
Jacob Jackson
best strategy in my opinion is to worry about clean and overdriven sounds when choosing a guitar. People seem to only be happy with how their guitar happens to respond to fuzz. That said, if you want the best guitar for fuzz you generally want humbuckers and a bass contour. A neck humbucker is not really necessary but noiseless is a good thing in either position.
A bass contour is extremely important in differentiating a fuzzy sound from other distortion. More bass will be fuzzier, so a bassier pickup(humbucker, or two single coils in series) with a bass contour should give you the full range of possibilities.
Grayson Jones
Anyone have experience with the brand Jay Turser? Particularly their Les Paul? I'm a poorfag and someone is selling it for a really good price.
Leo Campbell
I don't really care about the OD and clean sounds because I already have some friends with guitars that have plain humbuckers and single coils and I want to add something different in the mix.
Dylan Green
It's such trash. Don't bother with it.
Nicholas Foster
might as well post the ad or a picture from the ad while you're at it.
I've heard good things about a few of the more expensive jay tursers. I don't know what model that is so I really don't know, but jay turser DOES have some shit show guitars available for torturing poorfags, so be careful.
Blake Flores
Believe it or not, filtertrons don't sound that unique. What guitars do your friends have? Do they usually go for "big" bassy sounds, or more midrangy, punk tones?
Easton Morgan
Jackson, Squier (a shitty one) and Epi's.
Jordan Jackson
>knowing anything about music
Gabriel Torres
>a shitty one
I'm sorry, does Squier make a guitar that's not shit?
Isaiah Torres
What program do you guys prefer for emulating pedals and amps on the computer?
Jeremiah Ward
And I forgot, one of them likes to zone out with mid-range rhythm, another is a typical teacher-taught player and the other is a lazy bum but I can make him play however I want. I've heard nice things about the Classic Vibe stuff.
Josiah Sanders
Nice trips.
But I mean for the classic vibe stuff you're better off just buying a Mexi Strat or Tele for not much more.
Tyler Kelly
I play lefty and I'm in Europe so the cheapest Fender costs $200 more. A G&L Tele is $100 bucks more though.
Aaron Miller
Stay mad, nerd.
Levi Lee
Post Clyps! i'd start but i've over demonstrated mine in these threads and they're probably insufferably indie for you folks anyway
Carson Edwards
True. I lived in England for a short period of time and I couldn't believe how much more they want for guitars over there.
Thomas Taylor
That's too vague. I want to know what pickup configs and scale lengths they got. I can assume the jackson is 25.5" and the epi is 24.75", but what kind of squier is it? I'm plotting your best choice as we speak.
Colton Butler
>scale length I know you're bullshiting but whatever, Bullet Squier (shit as I said) and the others are HH.
Chase Butler
It's solo guitar, hard to be too annoyingly anything with just that much. It's not like you'd post a clyp of straight cowboy chords or anything.
Blake Rogers
What's the best acoustic guitar shape and why is it 000 /gg/?
I just bought my first acoustic. I feel bad, like if it was too soon to buy my second guitar. I just started playing one year ago.
Parker Williams
just start hoarding gear.
Brandon Hernandez
you forgot the pasta you fucking faggot
Nathaniel Barnes
Dreadnought master race
Henry Walker
It's a slippery slope user get used to it and don't look back
>tfw at one point in time I owned 16 guitars.
Angel Cooper
I'm not bullshitting. A good way to get some sonic territory to yourself is to have a different scale length. Basically two guitars that have different scale lengths, even if you compensate for tuning by tuning up the shorter scale, will have a slight difference that helps the guitars be differentiable in a mix. When you compensate for tuning you remove most of the larger tonal differences, but you still have a change in harmonic antinodes. This is most noticeable when both guitars play the same note.
To be clear, it won't make a big difference otherwise.
Some good choices would be a guitar with p90s or a 24" guitar. A tele can be a good choice, too. It can sound pretty different from a strat, more so of you've got something besides the normal single coil in the neck.
I'd advise against a mustang if you want to leave the pickups stock. It will have some difference from a strat for sure, but not as much as you'd probably like or expect. If you get a short scale put heavy string on it.
Andrew Garcia
How are you enjoying your zero dynamic range?
James Young
don't worry i own 3 guitars and a bass guitar and have gone through (bought, used and sold) 2 other guitars, 3 guitar amps 2 cabinets and 2 bass amps in the year i've been playing j-just gotta find the sound i want
Can you guys tell me about Mexican Fenders and where to find one?
Liam Flores
I'll go with the Gretsch and buy a P90 because there aren't any P90 lefties and its scale is 24.5". Thanks for your help.
Jaxon Edwards
well they both sound like pure shit.
Jackson Bailey
yea that's what i was saying in the op, you guys wouldn't like it but i wanna hear what people are doing
James Watson
They're better than squier and they also make some high end guitar (reissue guitar like the 72 thinline tele) The high end ones are worth getting new and the lower end ones are worth getting but only on sale or used. If you're on a budget and just have to buy new go for the Squier Classic vibe series
Ian Lewis
I feel like you have made some bad decisions and bought shitty gear. Care to tell what you have bought?
Aiden Rivera
Reposting from last thread
Guy near me is selling a black custom X series Martin for $550. Should I jump on it? He said it was just about $900 new and he just does't play it anymore. I was thinking I would offer $500 for it. I played it earlier and it sounds really nice for the price.
Sebastian Jones
Are you a gypsy? Do you play jazz?
Jordan Ward
reignoring from last thread
Lucas Brooks
I really liked both those tracks, keep it up man!
Elijah Walker
quit being nice, That sounded like shit and you know it. If you want him to get better just tell him the truth.
Alexander Scott
they actually sell a gypsy guitar I'm a bit tempted by
Nolan Martinez
You have to think positive user!
Luis Evans
thanks man, that means a lot : )
Nicholas Flores
do they really? post it.
Luis Ortiz
FUCK YOU MODS.
Jack Sanders
that's not how it works user
Negative motivation has been proven over and over to be less effective than positive motivation.
Liam Price
Been given an ibanez gio and a tiny amp from my dad as a gift because he noticed a lot of the music I listen to involves guitar. I later bought a peavey vypyr on sale which had a lot of effects to dick around with. Bass seemed fun so I went out and bought a gio bass (which is pretty good) and some small bass cube that I could afford at the time. Then traded my gio and tiny amp for an LP copy, and later bought an ibanez roadcore cause I scored a good deal. Got a vox hybrid head later with a cabinet built by the guy who sold it to me, built a different cabinet to accomodate new speakers for it. This week got a 100w bass combo and it just sounds so fucking nice. I'm pretty comfortable with my bass rig right now but I'm looking to sell the roadcore, and get a guitar with single coils since I already have the LP copy which sounds nicer than the roadcore. So yeah, lots of impulse buys, lots of "because its a good deal / can't afford something else" buys as well. Looking for a strat but none are popping up second that aren't asking ridiculous prices, and fuck getting ripped off by overpriced music stores. fucking /blog

Chase Phillips
this is shown in most recently conducted psych-research. I think negative reinforcement is more when somebody is being psychologically self destructive
William Johnson

Jose Cruz
I think they're sold out but here it is. They used to have one in the SX line, too.
Carter Hall
I'm ignorant in this area but is that not the sole purpose of a 7 string (fuck 8 actually) acoustic?
Jason Peterson
Yeah, I guess. But "gypsy guitar" doesn't refer to that.
Levi Baker
if you're a nu-metal player - chug chug if you're folkishly inclined you get that harp(ish) range
Carter Jenkins
I really recommend saving up for proper instruments and gear, it's much better. Impulse buys and those "because its a good deal / can't afford something else" -buys often turn out to be dissapointments.
A piece of advice that my father gave me early on: "guitars are bought, not sold." Make sure the gear you buy is good enough that you'll never have to sell it.
Nicholas Smith
just checked, they're in stock
Caleb Moore
I have been enlightened Cheers fampai
Matthew Lopez
Also got a cheap old acoustic. Does not sound great, but I don't worry about breaking it.
Michael Brooks
Don't tell me what to do you're not my real dad.
Samuel Wilson
Yeah that's one way of seeing it. If someone is selling something it might be just cause the thing they're selling is shit. But as an unemployed student I can't really afford nice things.
Alexander Richardson
your dad sounds like a dumbass
James Harris
>A piece of advice that my father gave me early on: "guitars are bought, not sold."
really makes you think
Joshua Long
Fuck off I thought it actually sounded nice. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad.
Zachary Baker
your dad sounds like the type of dad i fuck in the ass for money and i'm not even gay
Henry Garcia
>if you're folkishly inclined you get that harp(ish) range Hell, you can get an 8 string if you think you don't have enough notes youtube.com/watch?v=r3izFZf99z8
Connor Carter
ah sweet, this sounds like Discipline era King Crimson
James Myers
when you buy used gear and sell at the same price, you just rented it for free. Likewise, a small loss is a small rental fee.
Ryan Taylor
my fucking sides
>/gg/ in a nutshell
Mason Richardson
i feel like its just not /gg/ in a nutshell at all and that's a downer in itself
Parker Ross
Favourite tone of all time?
I want to get a new amp with a nice clean/crunchy tone don't really know which direction to head in. I'm interested in what you guys think is the goat tone.
Brandon Morgan
I'm not telling you what to do. And yes, I am your real dad. Go to bed Jimmy.
Yeah I understand that, but often I see people buying lots of cheap gear in a short time span, when they could've waited, saved up their money and bought something better. One example is buying several cheap guitars, and having issues with them, not being satisfied with them, when you could've bought a single good guitar
My dad is a smart man, he owns great guitars.
Yeah that's one way to look at it.
Cameron Walker
Don't listen to him, I actually really liked the first one.
Colton Evans
haha, is a bit of a rip off of Pleasure Principle by Sufjan in retrospect
Logan Brown
There were also some older jazz guitarists like George Van Eps who played 7 string archtops.
true, that makes a lot of sense, definitely grants stronger voice leading
Ian Davis
>my dad is a smart man, he owns great guitars Truly the measure of a man's intelligence. You must also be very smart.
Carter Perez
>intelligence Shit, meant to say wallet.
Henry Wilson
that G&L is so worth the extra $100 you wouldn't believe. The Classic Vibe and Vintage Modified are NOT as good as they look from shill posts on forums.
you just have to play a bunch and see. there are too many opinions on this. I personally like big Fender tube amps. I can get any sound I want out of them. Not to say I play every genre.
Grayson Sanders
vht special series are SO good for their price
Mason Gomez
looking to jam a lipstick pickup in my strat
do you guys have recommendations for a cheap neck lipstick pickup?
Luis Morgan
My guitar teacher says Mexican Strats are shit :(
Carter Lewis
that looks terrible lol.
I'd give you one I made for free if you lived around here.
