It sounds nice unplugged as well so I'll be able to practice quietly, something I'm sure my apartment neighbors will be happy to know. Get a good set of headphones, seriously. That way you can be rocking out properly in your head and your neighbors won't hear a thing.

Boss RPS-10 on its way right now. It's a wonky mid-80s digital pitch-shifter/delay. I like things that totally ruin a guitar's sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYXJ3sYx6uQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5_ijAkNj2s

I love that thing. A guitar player in an old band of mine had one and worked that thing to do some really unique stuff that sounded *nothing* like a typical effected guitar.

Just ordered a Black Arts Toneworks LSTR fuzz There's a 15% off sale there right now, and the international shipping was dirt cheap (7 bucks) so I pretty much had to.

ethan posted:Just ordered a Black Arts Toneworks LSTR fuzz Mark seems to know his stuff. I knew him from years of posting on boards like Harmony Central so I ordered from his 2nd batch of Pharaohs when he announced he'd be making more since he was getting positive reviews on the 1st batch and ended up with #12. For being his first production fuzz pedal, it's really good! Scratch that... it's really good, period. I'm hearing similarly good things about the LSTR.

Tom Lee was blowing the white ones out for $199 last week. http://www.ibanez.com/ElectricGuitars/model-RGD320

Yeah, the LSTR sounds a bit more up my alley but I really don't need more fuzz pedals right now. I don't use the ones I have (Boss FZ-2, Pharaoh and a home built Tonebender clone) enough to justify getting another. My amp doesn't even have a Gain knob.. the gain knob on mine is labeled "Fuzz" because it sounds more rough and harsh than a normal amp's overdrive. I'm fuzzed out for now. What I do want is a decent reverb and to finally get a pedal tuner.

There's a lot of hype surrounding them and most people have no idea if any of it's true or if it's just opinion and hyperbole. Since they're not very common, it's not super easy to just go test one out yourself. So let me clear up a couple of points: The bad: -They're kinda heavy. -"Electric" is kind of a silly brand name for a guitar amp. The good: -Everything else is absolutely perfect/amazing. Best musical equipment purchase I've ever made. I have never once regretted spending that much on it. If it was between selling it for rent money or being homeless, well I guess I'd be laying in an alley that night spooning my Electric amp then because no way would I sell it.

In all honesty, the only real negative to the MV series Electric heads is that they don't have a really good clean sound. They love tube saturation. I personally do not care about this.

That definitely wouldn't bother me either, the clean channel on my Rivera is great and I'd use both amps so yeah... In other news, bought one of these bad boys today and I am smitten with it. Also considering doing what every youtube demo video guy is doing and getting a POG or HOG to make organ sounds with it!

One thing I'll say with 100% confidence as a previous owner of a 5150 is that Peavey's 5150/6505 amps sound ok at lower volumes at home but at 5 or higher on the master volume, played at full band volume, they are INCREDIBLE. Absolutely incredible. They get a lot of flack for being "fizzy" or "buzzy" but I guarantee every single person who says that is not playing them at a proper volume with other instruments playing with them. In that scenario, they are faultless.

I went to guitar center right after work today and picked up a Mitchell MM100 Mandolin It had just been put on the wall and hadn't even been tuned or set up, so the guy at the counter did it for me, and since I paid cash he threw in a set of strings. I'll post a photo of mine once I get home.

He's rhythm-guitar/vocals though, so not much lead work with that guitar. He seems to love it. Had it I think about 9 months now. It's got a really great "sparkly" clean sound, and when you push it hard, the breakup is just beautiful. Scarf fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jul 8, 2011 |

glennnyc posted:oh poo poo, I've been eying these for a while, since I played through one in Iceland. I saw one not far away on CL but I already have so much crap. I like it so far. "Thunderbass" is kind of a misleading name though. It is not nearly powerful enough to bring the bass thunder. I cranked it at practice last night with my bass and couldn't keep up with the guitar or the drums even though the sound was pretty nice. It puts out about forty watts. But with guitar it's great. I haven't spent a ton of time with it yet and am in need of a guitar cab, but that may or may not happen soon as I'm primarily a bass player at the moment. It just popped up on Craigslist for the right price and I've been looking for a guitar amp. Might try and find an old Fender cab to pair it with.

Zoom H1 and a hairball from http://www.redheadwindscreens.com/ The H1 is the best portable recorder to launch for under $100, sensitive to air from the wind and voices it's made a lot better with a good windscreen. I'm able to walk with it at a decent pace without microphone muffling and record in windy situations now. It lacks the ability to act as a USB microphone and larger models (H4) are easy to find used for around the same price, it's also a mess to use hand-held because the plastic chassis will be picked up by the microphones, have it on a steady boom, tripod, gorillapod or camera-mount at all times when recording. Just need a pair of googly eyes now. e: Not bad as an improv harmonica mic either now. Normally I just sample percussive and ambient hum Ghosts n Gopniks fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jul 11, 2011 |
