I have a feeling that when this guitar is completed it's going to sounds like a 100% wet reverse reverb without any pedals. I can't wait. Seriously, the website for those pickups you got had the most amazing sound samples.

Ok I don't know if I just did something wrong, but I just bought this: It's a Dave Smith Prophet '08. After messing with my Korg Polysix for quite some time now, I decided that I loved those two things: poly analog sounds and hands-on/expressive keyboards. Which one too choose? I really like vintage stuff now, but they often cost a lot and I still have to pay bills. However, I really wanted something big, so I said to myself: save up until you can afford this OB-X / Andromeda A6 / Prophet 5 you want. But I saw this, checked out many videos and reviews and decided that this would sound very close to the OB-Xa, have some features of the P5 (not the same tone though), and would be more fun to program sounds for than the A6 (while admittedly less complex). So this is basically the reasoning behind my foolish act. This video explains what I'm trying to say. So here I am, waiting alone in the dark for this synth to arrive. Pray for me, sons.

Handen posted:gently caress that is gorgeous looking I'm still amazed by the fact that you can even MAKE a guitar neck out of solid aluminum. I mean, I know it'll work as a neck, and I know that the jump from solid rock maple to aluminum probably isn't as big as I'd imagine, but I never really put the two together, and I certainly never found myself thinking 'gee, I wonder what a guitar with a neck machined out of solid aluminum would sound like'. Course, I did say almost the exact same thing when I first heard about plexiglass guitar bodies

Yoozer posted:Your wallet must be totally bled empty right now with all the purchases. My wallet is ok, thank you. However, I don't think I'll buy any big synth for quite a while, and I'll take this time to figure out the ones I use less and probably sell them. Also, for the FX, I might try to get a tape echo, but one of my friend already has the reverbs and all that sweet stuff. He also already has a RE-201, but in this case I think it's better to have it right when you're composing than when you're mixing. Can't wait for that Prophet though.

I think the cost was something like $220 or so ($200 without the position markers) and he makes them custom, which is an amazing deal. It's going to have to hold me over until I get my custom Jason Romero (on order, but not going to be built until February or March).

 Not a purchase since I was given it for free, but comes with a couple purchase questions. Was given a MIM Strat with just a humbucker in the bridge position. Sounds fun to me, tuned it up and played a little with a coin today since I don't have a pick anywhere. The strings have a little rust(?) on them presumably from lack of use (hence getting it for free), do those need to be replaced immediately? I've got a Wasabi OD pedal already from one of the deals that you all linked to, but I want distortion too, is the Little Big Muff the way to go? I'm going to be practicing in a small apartment where I already play v-drums and synths with a keyboard amp, but need to be able to crank it up enough to compete with drums and bass in a practice setting. Looking at the 15W Roland Cube, am I headed in the right direction?

I've changed my default "small amp" recommendation from Microcube to Fender Champ 600. 5W bugger, phenomenal tone. A fuzz face (or Generic Overdrive, I guess - I bet the Wasabi will sound great into it, but if you want me to check I can just plug one into it and see for you) into this is heaven. I'm playing it more than my Randall, THD, or Peavey amps, and more than my computer modelers too. It's just right for plugging in and ripping. I still go to my other gear when I want a more refined or modern sound, or when I want a tight distortion - it's not a "do it all" practice amp by any means. But way more than any other practice amp I've owned, it's really, genuinely useful - I will be recording with it, for sure. There's something magical about the 5W tube amp hammering the 6" speaker that can just barely take it. I wouldn't change a thing about this little bit of Chinese magic.

Is a Fender 600 worth almost double the pricetag of a Cube or Microcube for a complete amateur? And yeah, if you could plug the Wasabi in and let me know how it sounds to you (or post a sample but please give your feedback on said sample) that'd be awesome.  I want a Devi Ever Legend of Fuzz too because it sounds incredible, but it's a little pricey for me and I'm not entirely sure who carries them.

Ville Valo posted:Is a Fender 600 worth almost double the pricetag of a Cube or Microcube for a complete amateur? A microcube is $125, but you can find it used for between $50 and $80. A Fender Champ 600 is $200, but you can get it used as low as $100 (what I paid for mine, in great shape). You're not going to want to buy a new amp unless you just don't like having money or something. As to whether or not it's worth it for an amature, I'm of the opinion that you should settle into a comfortable set of gear when you first start playing. Crappy guitars and crappy amps turn people off of the instrument when better stuff would have made them happy, kept 'em playing, and who knows what they'd turn out to be? The Microcube is a great practice tool, though, hardly a "crappy amp," so if the money matters a lot to you and you want the sonic versatility that its digital modeling offers, you shouldn't be afraid to pick it up. I don't think it's very useful to record with, though it does offer a speaker simulated line out that sounds about like an untweaked Boss GT-6 or GT-8 modeler's output. GT-10 sounds a lot better, though. The big difference between the two is that the Champ 600 is, well, a real amp, with real tube overdrive really pushing a speaker hard to get natural breakup. Clapton recorded an album with a Champ 600, though the reissue has a hotter preamp circuit than the old ones did in order to push the power amp into overdrive a little easier (no preamp distortion at all, mind you). I'll be happy to plug one of my Wasabi ODs into it and record a few clips (and let you know what I think). I swapped out my Aramat Mojo Fuzz for an EHX Holy Stain yesterday and that sounds great into it, too. It seems to take pedals really well, so I'm sure the Wasabi OD is going to sound great into it - that's a good OD. It chops off a fair portion of low bass, just due to the physics of it (the Microcube has the appearance of low bass, but it's really a huge bass boost circuit at and around the second harmonic for low guitar bass notes - "missing fundamental" effect), which should make it easy to record with since it ought to sit comfortably in the mix without a lot of tweaking. This isn't stuff you'll be explicitly worrying about when you're starting out, of course, but it'll matter down the line. By the way, https://www.fuzzhugger.com is a great new site that carries Pro Tone, Mellowtone, and Devi Ever products. I won a Mellowtone Singing Tree OD and bought a Pro Tone Monster Fuzz from 'em, competitive prices and super fast shipping. Plus they're good folks. Contact them with the email link and talk about what you want out of a fuzz pedal, watch the videos they link to on all their item pages, too.

I did do some poking around beforehand, and it seems like a lot of people let these cabs go for less than they're worth simply because of how old they are. I'll be hanging on to the stock speakers once I replace them in case I ever need to flip this thing.

I don't know a lot about VAs, as I only got a Korg MS2000, which is OK, but I'm pretty sure it's not as great as this or a Virus. I've read that it's better for digital stuff than VA and that you can really go deep with it because of the mod matrix. Anyways, I went with the P08 because I was interested in pure analog and wasn't interested in the limited polyphony and digital oscillators of the Poly Evolver. I think when I'll go digital I'll prefer a V-Synth or a better VA. But I still bought this thing.  It's a Yamaha TG33. I wanted to try out Vector Synthesis without spending too much so it's perfect. I might post photos when I get these.

Yeah, all the Waldorf and PPG synths have a very characteristic "digital" sound from the wavetables that you'll probably either love or hate. You can probably guess what side I'm on - the PPG Wave plug-in has been a staple of mine for a while and I think it's about time I got some real Waldorf hardware in here.

Maybe not in terms of accessibility, but as far as features, forget about it... you could probably devote an entire manual just to explaining everything the Blofeld's arpeggiator can do. For just a few hundred bucks more than an MK you get a VERY deep little machine.

My setup has recently been feedbacking like crazy, I can't even use my overdrive pedal anymore because of the high pitched squeals my amp is giving off at moderate volumes. So my next step is definitely getting a Boss Noise Suppresor:  I'm also looking at "V" shaped guitars since I've always kinda wanted one. I'm not really feeling the ESP's, and the Jacksons are pretty pricey. I've noticed that Gibson bought out Kramer and started making guitars in Asia in the $300 range. A lot of people say they are cheap crap, but I've heard a lot of good reviews and seen some good videos on youtube. Anyone have any personal experience?

Any reason you're going with Boss for the noise suppressor, because the ISP Decimator line absolutely dominates the Boss technology for cutting noise without loving up your tone or cutting deep into your sustain.
