They can be useful for various reasons. As a compressor of course (sustain, evening things out a little I guess) It's good as a boost as well.
Whatever, I like it on my clean channel to add a little more comp and as a very slight boost.
Adrian Barnes
Got a Memory Boy Delay pedal for Christmas, and I just spend 12 hours locked in my basement with my friend , writing and recording music while high on stimulants. How've the holidays been for you, anons?
Cameron Flores
>it's dirt cheap so who cares if it's broken after some years consumer electronics designed to be disposable are a waste of money, especially with something as relatively simple as a guitar pedal. for slightly more money you could buy a full sized pedal, have the ability to repair it, and have it indefinitely. all electronic components will fail eventually, once your mini pedal breaks it's gone forever. I'd rather have a bigger board with 5 pedals I can keep, repair, and rely upon than a board half the size with 5 pedals I'll have to replace every 10-15 years. guitar pedal manufactures have finally figured out reselling the same pedal to over and over is better than selling you one once. mini pedals are a bad value and the space issue is really an industry manufactured non issue with most guitarists

It's just turned midnight.
Happy New Year, /gg/!
David Evans
>living in the future please tell us about the newest guitar memes, happy new year ladpai.
David Gutierrez
it's not even midnight in straya, are you a dirty islander?
Elijah Edwards
Yes it is - do you eve AEDT?
Connor Taylor
Disposable? Waste of money? A pedal is $20 which is nothing compared to meme pedals.
Furthermore, I don't believe this disposable thingy. In the end, the components are pretty easy to change even with a small pedal.
Come on, we are not talking about Apple selling overpriced shit, with everything soldered and difficult to replace. (Though, when you try hard, you can always repair stuff by yourself)

Levi Clark
>pedal is $20 exactly, I just explained the reasons for them being that price >the components are pretty easy to change even with a small pedal no, they're absolutely not. they're nearly impossible to repair without expensive specialized professional equipment. you don't know what you're talking about >Though, when you try hard, you can always repair stuff by yourself no, with miniaturized components you usually can't. again, you don't know what you're talking about
Parker Murphy
Just so you know what we're talking about, pic related.
Dominic Gray
Yeah okay, no one would change such a small piece. But changing a chip is not that hard.
There a few things that can be done, and it's not such a crappy assemblage.
he's already made it clear he has zero electronics experience, mate. mini pedals are a waste of money except in special circumstances like considering the shipping costs involved in overseas touring which don't concern 99% of players
Colton Green
You are a waste of space, so what's your point?
It's like you guys only know how to exaggerate everything Hurr Durr it's a waste to buy a $20 it'll literally explode after a few days, better buy a $200 pedal or buy electronics from Soviet Union and solder everything
Charles Perez
>changing a chip .... "Chips" come in different packages, and in a small formfactor pedal you'd also get them miniaturized as a SMD.
Nolan Bennett
Any last minute pointers before I put down $500 on one of these? Mahogany neck, rosewood board and P90s.
Always wanted a semi-hollow and this looks gorgeous.
Cameron Ward
>those shitty PCB mounted pots lmao
You don't know shit, shut the fuck up.
Hunter Moore
>Always wanted a semi-hollow
The casino is fully hollow. ( will feedback more if you use lots of distortion or volume) Still, I think they're great, my favorite inexpensive hollowbodies.
Carson Anderson
Daniel Kessler Approved
Cooper Jones
Yeah alright, better put some $50 NOS shit from the Soviet Union for that vintange tone amirite?
You are definitely one of those faggy "expert" too busy shoving a finger up your ass rather than enjoying playing guitar for what it's worth.
Nicholas Lee
>Hurr Durr it's a waste to buy a $20 >it'll literally explode after a few days >better buy a $200 pedal or buy electronics from Soviet Union and solder everything too are things I never said. I've made my point pretty well though, I think I'll leave it to anyone reading though your replies to decide for themselves if you know what you're talking about and if mini pedals are a good value or not. have a nice day friend
Tyler Stewart
I'm haven't played particularly long so embarrassingly the distinction of semi and hollow is more based on appearance to me. Read that they make for extremely versatile guitars which kinda sold me.
Regardless, thanks.
Jose King
>while high on stimulants did you drink a Red Bull?
Benjamin Thomas
>these asspained replies kek this btfo poorfag got mad as fuck
Yeah, but there's more to it than that. Start by learning to put Diminished 7th passing chords in your chord changes.
So if you're going from Cmaj7 to Dm7, throw a Dbdim7 in between, for example.
x 3 5 4 5 x
x 4 5 3 5 x
x 5 7 5 6 x
Christopher Sanders
You're so fucking stupid that you don't even understand that the video you posted () just reinforces the other Anons point about the small components being impossible to repair. That line of silver dots on the left side of the circuit is a set of resistors, you'd just burn up the replacement resistor and destroy the traces trying to replace one with a standard soldering iron.
Shut the fuck up, dumbass.
Isaiah Morales
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I got a new bass and it has a 'pickup blending pot'. Can someone explain what blending pickups does?
Wyatt Hughes
You're probably used to seperate volume controls for each pickup. A blend poti reduces the volume of one pickup while increasing the volume of the other. Middle position is both pickups 100%, all the way clockwise is the neck pickup solo, all the way counterclockwise is the bridge pickup solo. Everything in between is, well, in between these states.
Lucas Baker
Is there a good book or a pdf or a spreadsheet or anything with chord shapes? Something like this guy posted Whenever I try and record some progressions with some maj7 or m7 chords, I mostly rely on the shapes shown in his post (i.e. where the root is on the A string). But I'd like to know them in other positions as well, together with all the other sexy chords, like dims and alts and doms
I'm spending new years jamming to drumtracks, getting drunk and cuddling with my dog. Life is good lads.
Thomas White
i'm not crazy about p90s but that's just personal taste, Casino is nice man
Adrian Lee
Whats the best way to jam just to drums? Say there's a drummer in a room just playing and you wanna join in, but no bassist around. You're not gonna play you pentatonic licks over just a drumbeat because it's gonna sound poor. What funky shit do you play?
Nicholas Baker
Play anything that is rhythmically interesting and works with the drums.
Carson Hernandez
actually this book is not that great
Angel Gutierrez
This, and turn distortion up a notch with a few barred low end strokes to compensate. You won't be anywhere near as limited as you think you will.
Mason Hughes
yeah I know, but like what. got any videos for ideas?
Isaac Lopez
Guys, I've had my acoustic guitar for around six years, but haven't played it for the majority due to school stuff and depression. Now that I want to go back to it, I don't know what to do. I know lots of chords and I'm into folk and bossa nova fingerpicking styles but I don't know whether or not I need to work on mastering techniques getting a repertoire of songs under my belt.
Blake Price
White Stripes immediately come to mind, watch a bit of Jack's playing and see how he does it.
Easton Evans
why is it that the best Les Paul or 335 is made by Gibson but everyone makes a better Strat / Telecaster than Fender
Grayson Ross
fender sucks more than gibson
Luke Garcia
>everyone makes a better Strat / Telecaster than Fender
So what does /gg/ think of Troy Grady's cracking the code? Has anyone watched his seminars on Yngwie or Eric Johnson? I'm interested in watching them, but I don't really want to spend 50 bucks on each if the videos aren't actually useful.
Jayden Wilson
>someone is actually considering this
lad what on earth are you doing?
Adrian Martin
who /popa/ here?
He plays simple blues but he makes it sound so good.
I think they're cool but I don't really know how to apply the information to my practice. Fast alternate picking with a downward pickslant feels awkward to me. I guess I've always been an upward pickslanter, since I prefer to rest the heel of my thumb against the body of the guitar or on the lower strings. I lack speed and control when picking with my hand turned like pic related. Maybe I just need more practice with that technique.
Samuel Carter
I just stumbled across them, seems like it's probably a scam or a waste of money so I wanted to hear other people's opinions on it. If other people consider it useful or worth it then I don't mind spending money, it's about the same price as a couple of guitar lessons and potentially has a lot more useful information.
Hunter Ward
I don't know how much you should worry about being an upwards or downwards pickslanter. John Mclaughlin and Marty Friedman both play primarily with upstrokes and they're both super fast players. Maybe not as fast as Yngwie or Batio, but still plenty fast.
certificate application may take around 6 months according to some other sites.
Caleb Wood
The true greats play on instinct, can't imagine what it must be like to not even have to think about what you're doing.

Andrew Rogers
what can I gain or lose from adjusting my truss rod? I know what adjusting it would do but is there any significant benefits or downsides to doing it?
Sebastian Scott
Don't touch, you don't know what you're doing.
Jack Morales
>I am alone
wrong, us talentless plebs are keeping you company.
Benjamin Morales
crank about 100 degrees clockwise for best action. if it doesn't slide perfectly, just give a little more pressure.
Jonathan Jones
fair enough, I'll stay away, but for future reference, what could happen if I had not asked and just done?
Joseph Robinson
What you can gain is a straighter neck that will give you lower action near the 12 fret and maybe fix your intonation if you're having there. What you can lose is your neck. You can break your neck or pop off your fret board, but that's really only if you're a retard who cranks the truss rod way too hard. Your neck should only need small adjustments, if it requires large adjustments you should probably take it to a real tech because there might be larger problems lurking that you don't know about.
