Oh come on she already wasn't wearing shoes you had to take her shirt too?
Nolan Brooks
I can see her butt crack.
Angel Stewart
Hey tube amp soy boys, are you tired of lugging those tubes around? Do you have brain damage from all that Ozone?
Now this is a real ass amp. Turns out you don't need a spic Marshall to get a real man's tone, huh?
Zachary Davis
How are the clean tones? How are the dirty tones? If this has a good clean channel it seems like a decent, affordable gigging amp for those who get their dirt from their pedals, one that'll be loud enough for any gig. I don't expect good dirt tones out of the modeling section.
Eli White
I can see her panties.
Nolan Ortiz
Somebody else needs to start making these threads.
>Ozone The fuck are you talking about? Alright amp BTW, but not much more than that. Everybody knows that a Jazz Chorus is a real mans solid state amp.
Matthew Campbell
Reposting from >I’m shopping for a new amp myself. Right now I have a Roland micro cube. I don’t want an amp that has to be super loud, because I’ll be living in an apartment soon. People have been recommending that I get a tube amp since it’s in my price range of $500. But can these be played at low volume and sound good. I also want to get into pedals.
>Is getting something that I can plug headphones into a good idea?
Both said that I shouldn't get a tube amp for my situation. I will say this, I'm not too keen on using my pc as an amp, just seems doesn't seem like it would be as fun as having a real amp and pedal board setup.
Should I even bother to upgrade my cube then? Should I get a new guitar instead? (I have a squier tele right now). Do I dive straight into pedals?
Brody Morris
get Hughes and Kettner tubeman this way you have these toob ondulatory sounds in your cube.
>BOSS Katana Okay, I hear split things about this constantly. Why is it good why is it bad?
On another note: should I go for a SS fender champion, maybe a SS Marshall or SS Orange amp? I really don't know much about amps except that these are big names.
Evan Ward
sounds like a modulated tape delay of some kind? there is a vocal track mixed in the background (sounds like elvis) so it's hard to tell what is guitar and what isn't
Nathan Scott
Don't worry about tube amps if you're moving into a small space. Get a good, clean solid-state amp. Roland Cube does the job. And get a pedal with the gain tone you want. A pedal can more-or-less emulate any level of gain you're looking for without requiring a high final-output volume or high power consumption to heat up the tubes. I use multiple high-wattage tube amps in different situations, but my basic setup is a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 with a Wampler Tumnus pedal and a Diezel VH-4 pedal. Low-gain, high gain, as needed.
Lucas Rogers
But the amp has a gain knob, so what does the pedal do that the amp doesn't already if its just gain?
Zachary Gonzalez
more gain, it''s an extra multiplier
Easton Cox
I already feel like i have enough distortion, so then why worry about it?
Let me ask you another question: Will good quality delay/reverb/chorus/noisegate/compressor pedals be wasted on my setup (micro cube and squier tele)?
Isaiah Kelly
What user says. I also use a dbx 10 band eq, with a "gain" band, and a dbx micro amp with one knob, "gain", when i need to turn it up to 11. When I said gain before, I meant distortion level, not technically gain. Some people including me incorrectly use the term gain to loosely mean overdrive/distortion.
Michael Clark
Dunno. What are you looking for that you don't have in your Cube?
Aiden Sanchez
when you have two gains going at the same time, they take away from each other. its called "subtractive refractive unifying undertones"
this is because the frequencies (the wave lengths, troughs and peaks) coincide and what you hear is a loud shrill high pitched bleeeeeep kind of like tinnitus.
NEVER pair two gains together my man. Plus in burns out the filament in your bass wick (the tube on your pcb of solid state amp). These are costly to replace, and can cost you upwards of $500 even for a $15 dollar kmart amp.
You always need an odd number of gain pedals, otherwise you run into BIG time issues. My real dad used to toy around with this stuff, and let me tell you, you dont want to see what he looks like now. (bad)
Dylan Sanders
There is also certainly a strong envelope filter on the one of the guitars as well.
Benjamin Roberts
wont other amps have better sound quality or something?
Henry Edwards
...
Isaiah Cooper
>wont other amps have better sound quality or something? yes tube amps have a holy grial of tone get a 1watt marshall or any 1watt amp.
test them at the shop remember ask for 1 watt tube amp.
Liam Bennett
This is an interesting collection of points. But how does one avoid pairing multiple gains together? A wah is a gain pedal with a variable frequency band. An eq is a unit that boosts gain in set frequency bands. Are you saying one shouldn't eq a guitar? or use a wah? Or christ forbid both? Because that's two sources of gain and a multiple of two...
It's true when you chain several gain sources (boosts to the signal amplitude in dB) they can start to conflict and hiss, and that's what you're describing. But never do it? Explain please.
Ryder Nguyen
Envelope filters can literally make or break your guitar soft tones.
Sometimes you need an envelop filter, but there are other times when you'd be better off with a filtered envelope. Next time you get a chance to ask a pro, do it. There are none here, myself excluded.
Bentley Gonzalez
Yes, but they generally require more volume to sound good. All relative of course. But it's a trade-off...peak tone, or doesn't piss off the neighbors. Pick one. Ya know?
Carter Cooper
Do you even know what the fibannici sequence is? its basic trigonometrics.
Okay i'll put it in laymans terminalogy. You got two waves, and when they crash into each other and your surfing in between them, youre gonna be huuuuuurting my man. Get it? Good.

Jaxson Baker
So my band has been working on an album for a bit. We're not too far off from being done, but we just completely finished one of our songs. Any feedback or criticism? We're hoping to start touring locally once we're done with it.
>Your vocalist has a great sounding voice. >The bassist is capable of holding it together
The bad: >Your guitarist is clueless >Not sure what your drummer is doing >The song sucks >Your vocalist is singing out of key
All in all, this is what I would expect from a typical first band of young adults/teens (upper teens to lower/mid twenties)
Go out and play a bunch of live shit. Get booed at, get cheered at, learn how to deal with it all, and learn to establish a better sound. Thats all thats left to do.

Adrian Evans
Schecter
Daniel Young
why don't you just buy something you want then replace the pickups
Cooper Harris
I'm liking the guitar so far, the pickups are pretty good for an Epiphone, and the coil splitting is handy. The only thing that's bugging me is that I'm adjusting the truss rod a lot because the weather has been very tempermental sweetwater.com/store/detail/CRPRO412 There's the cab Kek I have a onespot, but I'm letting my buddy borrow it, and I'll probably just let him keep it and get a proper pedalboard/power supply with my next paycheck Pic related are my pedals atm
Ian Watson
I said no vampire shit. Lefty options are pretty limited for humbuckers. It's pretty much all gay metal guitars.

Um. Well for one, the mods. Are you new here lil guy?
Wyatt Cook
What's everyone think of the new line Marshall is releasing? Plexi based, all tube, EL34 output 20w and 50w heads. Can be had for fairly cheap.
Christopher Collins
>mods >care about age
Are you new here lil guy?
William Hall
It sounds great, particularly the clean channel. The dirty channel is good, but I've had trouble dailing in an early Sabbath type sound, Im thinking about getting a treble booster and seeing if that helps. Other than that it does a wicked Paul Kossof impression, and I usually just keep it on that setting and kick on the muff for some high gain stoner/doom noodling
Oliver Lopez
>Gives you the keys to the Lamborghini >ONLY the keys
Zachary Long
My guitar skills are basically at “play a simple country or pop tune cover with four chords all the way through without fucking up and people with no musical talent will think it’s amazing”
With that in mind, is 27 too old to sit down and learn more complicated chord progressions in order to start an angsty folk or pop punk band?
Jackson Reyes
No. No it is not.
Kevin Mitchell
I'm back boys. I settled on getting a white pickguard and a chrome bridge cover for my tele. I've also been looking at reviews of the Boss Blues Driver which I think would work as a nice boost for my muff. Suggestions?
Jason Adams
my gf likes when I play!
Evan Thomas
I miss when I had a gf to play for.
Jose Nguyen
ANY METAL FANS HERE?
Ethan Johnson
Suggestion would be dynacomp before anything, then driver (blues driver or whatever), then muff, then phaser and finally ditto.
If you can swing it, an eq after the compression adds so much control...
Lincoln Martin
Just what I was thinking. What Eq should I look for? The 6-band(?) mxr pedal looks nice.
Brody Scott
I've got an mxr M108 10-band eq that i've been using for 3-4 years. very controllable, very useful. But any stomp pedal eq will do a really good job shaping your signal.
Isaac Edwards
I play with a blues jr III and have a digitech rp55 after all my pedals to drop the overall volume a little bit when I need to. The digitech is also cool because you can plug headphones into it and do a cabinet mode and play without an amp.
Adrian Edwards
you put drive into a muff and it will overcompress very easily. i'd suggest going with something very low grit, if not clean.
Austin Martin
The new quilt top steinbergers look pretty neat.
Shame it's the same trash all maple construction, I was hoping they'd give up on the licence and another company would buy it and start making real instruments again.
Ayden Collins
Don't tell me you're actually concerned about tone woods when you're into guitars like that
Charles Rogers
Not tone woods, stability. Steinbergers used to be full composite, which gave them sustain for years, and the necks weren't remotely affected by humidity or temperature.
Now they're all cheap wood shit.
Logan Rogers
Good footswitch/distortion pedal for a relatively poorfag?
Eli Gray
ds-1 is great imo
Noah Russell
I thought Spirit was the budget brand, though. I cannot be bothered to research it.
Dylan James
Just heard Greg Howe for the first time. Holy fuck! Up to that moment, when I heard the name Greg my mind translated it to Steve. That ain't gonna happen no more.
Josiah Morris
It is, but the problem is that they don't have a high end one. There's a "mid range" model called the synapse which is even worse, you need even more specific strings and it has a built in capo and extended scale length which literally nobody in the history of the world have ever wanted.
Michael Peterson
Because the circuits in tube amps run at such high voltages and emit a lot of heat, they generate a teeny-tiny bit of ozone (still it occupies more volume than the dick of takes). But it's really harmless.
Eli Green
I know about tube amps and electricity. I've built them. I've just never heard anybody mention ozone with tube electronics though, other than smelling it when the amp has an internal arc from a malfunction. If the amp isn't arcing inside, it shouldn't be producing any. Not enough to even smell. A light switch would produce more than an amp.
Jaxson Perez
Supposedly some standby switches might produce some when turning on the B+. But yeah, as you said, almost nothing is produced and even if anything gets made it's almost undetectable.
Juan Russell
Any tips for very thin acoustics? I've been looking at Ovation Super Shallows but I've been told they sound a bit shite so I'm looking for alternatives.
Levi Smith
Guys, I'm trying to make list of techniques that can be done on acoustic while doing lead: 1. Hammer-Ons and Pull-Offs 2. Bending 3. Vibrato 4. Two Handed Tapping 5. Trill Can you help me fill out the remaining list?
Isaac Thomas
own a Super Shallow myself. yes, the sound is quite lacking unplugged, which really isn't how you're supposed to use it anyway.
there's nothing else like it on an amp from my experience. they're built for gigs, so its output is really booming and rich. add some gain, and you'll end up with a different guitar entirely; ends up with a solid crunch that still sounds acoustic. probably one of my favorite tones off of any guitar.
can't really put that sound into words, though. gotta try it to find out. there's also the issue of its round back, and it'll slide away from your body the first few times.
maybe for your use case, you'll wanna look at Taylors, or hell, any other slim acoustic for that matter. you might miss the natural wooden warmth of regular guitars, something Ovation - with all its fancy-schmancy "tech" - can't provide.

You can't find a good Dumble sounding preamp pedal for less than double that.
Angel Wilson

Logan Davis
Pizicatto for fast sections
Julian Perez
Dumble amps have their components painted black, and some sources claim that the circuit has changed over the years. Their's no definitive dumble circuit, and schematics were put together by testing components then approximating their value.
Jose Stewart
at apartment level even a 1w tube can be too loud with a 12 inch speaker. i had a laney cub 12 what has a 0.75w input and even that can make some noise. besides, your speaker sensivity and size are as important as the amp wattage. get a 1w tube with a high sensivity (>100db) 12 inch speaker and you'll be surprised as how loud this combination can be. i'm moving to an apartment soon too and i'm sticking with my interface. i honestly love my tiny terror but it's as barebones as an amp can be and way too loud for apartment, makes me lust for an amp with a line out.
anyway, in your case i'd stick with the cube and invest on a good interface. lots of free quality vst around and a good interface enables you to play at zero latency too, plus you can either use headphones or speakers at a comfortable volume without upsetting neighbours and still get a very nice tone (considering your speakers or headphones aren't shit).
Joshua Brooks
I just bought a H9 (max). Tell me what to do with it
