Guitar Discussion Thread V6 - General

Just wondering if you go to a guys house, a music shop or take lessons from school.

[QUOTE=Patcher;27538004]It can take a jump from 10 meters. Yeah it's a real bike.[/QUOTE] 10 meters from what but yeah you shouldn't have any problems and if it doesn't play right just take it to a tech and get it set up

[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;27538139]It's a music school a owned by a shop a couple doors down, I would feel weird going to a dude's house to learn unless I knew the guy[/QUOTE] Well that's how knowing people works - you don't know someone, then you meet him and magic happens - suddenly you know this person. I readed a couple of books when I started playing, helped a lot, then when I knew the correct way to do things I just learned random songs and played them, which I do till now. But If I was going to some guy to learn guitar, would be cool if he was cute and then turned out that he was gay/bi. [editline]20th January 2011[/editline] No homo, gay guys just a lot more friendly, open and fun.

Okay guys, Line 6 arent bad, [i]Spider amps[/i] are

Really now, they are pretty good the only downside is that theres no effect loop so you need to improvise solutions! The tones themselve are pretty good! (If you actually know how to turn knobs)

And you'll need an EQ for recordings, even if you use an mesa boogie amp or whatever. (To make a good mix) and that's what I also use.

It would be okay to say that nice guitar teachers which talk openly are preferred or just nice but the way you said it just makes it sound weird :v: Like... Okaaaay!

I think people underestimate guitar multi effects. For example: This is a original recording from a fucking expensive professional synth recorded in studio blah blah [media]http://soundcloud.com/user9690205/thtf-synth-riff-1[/media] This is same track but made in FL studio from scratch with a 25$ plugin: [media]http://soundcloud.com/user9690205/rewtert[/media] If a plugin in a computer made by one man can recreate the sound of an expensive equipment, then a decent multi-effects processor made by professionals won't be worse. I'm not a fanboy of pedals or processors, I respect both sides, but there are just some people that always do rants about how all processors are shit and give shit sound and you should not buy them.

I will buy a multi FX pedal over $500 of pedals, anyday

[QUOTE=Darkslicer;27540175]And you'll need an EQ for recordings, even if you use an mesa boogie amp or whatever. (To make a good mix) and that's what I also use.[/QUOTE] You mean post amp or pre? Since I'm all digital I stick EQ's (and multiband compressors actually) everywhere in everything, even for really minor tweaking. I have no idea what most people would consider "essential" normally, an EQ pedal, or an EQ unit after the mic'ed amp before it hits the mixer? That just seems like one of those things that would vary from guy to guy, I would think. Unless you mean that everything gets EQ'ed postamp at least a little, but I would think that's a given. Probably overthinking this.

My Spider sounds alright, but it's too hard to get your own tone. Crunch all the way up is not enough, Metal all the way down is too much.

[QUOTE=Reset Panda;27521541]Septic Schizo here Anyways, on the topic of guitar gods, I think we should prioritize our 3 guitar gods. 1. Timo Tolkki 2. Dave Mustaine 3. Kai Hansen :smug:[/QUOTE] I was talking about my guitar gods, not the forums

Probably overthinking this.[/QUOTE] It's all pretty simple! Pre EQ for clean tones because if you use an pre EQ for dist it won't affect the distortion itself it will affect the way your clean string signal will come into the Distortion overlay (it also generates alot noise) so for distortion I highly recommend using the EQ after the distortion so you can effectivly change the shape and sound! It'll affect your whole sound not only strings. An EQ pedal into the effect loop will mostly be used after the distortion but in my situation where I have no Effects loop on my so shitty spider I have to put it with special mono to stereo cables inbetween line in and amp line out! I use line in recording and before the signal gets recorded there's my 10 band EQ to shape things how I prefer, that's all and in my opinion that's important for active changing and mixing the whole thing you play (bass, guitar, vocals, trumpet, violin just everything you can put into an amp) [editline]20th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Nonikai;27540481] these recordings are bad bad bad DeKay!!!!![/QUOTE] What? :smith:

You know I'm just kidding. Love them :love:

Most mutli effects pedals are awful, i have owned a Korg AX10G, Zoom G2 and a digitech rp1000 and they are awful and ended up selling all of them, the amp modelling is terrible and is no where near the quality of several single effects and using the amps tube driven overdrive. if i had 10 single pedals and one failed i could still use the other 9, if my one mutli effects pedal broke you lose everything.

I once had a multi effect. It's good for getting familiar with effects, but not really worth the money, imo.

Don't know about others, but I played ME-25 today in store with my cheap guitar (when I go to music store to buy something I'm not sure which model I want, I bring my guitar) and it sounds fucking awesome. Have a recording straight trough USB port not colored my amp or mic: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTSy2PbwhlI[/media]

How many times do I have to say that the ME-70 is really worth the money.

Many.

[QUOTE=kitteh-nator;27544306]How many times do I have to say that the ME-70 is really worth the money.[/QUOTE] If you are saying this to me, I have just enough money for ME-25, plus it has some new effects and functions which ME-70 doesn't. I'm a starting guitarist so it's quantity over quality for me because of curious. And I don't think that they differ in quality at all :smile:

I use an ME-20B every gig. Can't be chewed getting down between songs to change gain and envelope settings. pre-set patches are the way forward for me, personally. Doesn't work for everyone though, some multiFX just fail to capture the sound. (I am sure there was some totally analogue-but-digitally-controlled one somewhere?)

I come bearing a question. I don't quite think my amp has enough distortion for some of the stuff I like to play, so should I get either a distortion pedal or a tube screamer and put it in front of my amp? Keep in mind I have a 120w solid state Crate amp.

[QUOTE=Peavy262;27544495]Set your amp up to it's best clean tones and get a distortion pedal for the distortion.[/QUOTE] In that case, what can I get that will go from some good Pink Floyd/Rush tones, up to, say...at least near-Pantera tone?
