Record dry guitar signal then reamp through the Axe FX followed by your favourite tube amps. Maybe do this several times with clean, crunch and high gain settings. Keep your favourites and sell the rest. Also how many tube screamers can the Axe FX model simultaneously?

muike posted:tell me what you'd get and what amps you'd get rid of I'd consider ditching a combination of SLO-100, AC30 w/Blues, 1971 JMP1 100w, Mesa Rect-o-Verb 1x12 combo or something. I'm not sure still, the Axe-FX has actually practically paid for itself already with how easy it's integrated into my recording setup, I'm AHEAD on orders and am working on a stash of pre-recorded stuff, it's definitely making my workflow a LOT faster, and the quality is FANTASTIC. I don't THINK I'd miss my amps (and I wouldn't ditch them ALL, just the replaceable ones mostly), and I kept my buddy's Modern for a few days, and Jesus Christ, it's an incredible guitar... I dunno. Part of me says 'gently caress amps', especially after a few gigs with the Axe-FX under my belt now, the other part of me says 'just budget it in and pay for it on its own'. Hence, wondering what the consensus might be. I know the general thoughts around here regarding expensive guitars, and this would be the 3rd NEW guitar I've ever bought on my own, and it's DEFINITELY the nicest. I don't often freak out over new guitars, I go through a lot, but this one has me all twitterpated and poo poo. The other option, is their 'Pro' series, which are the SAME guitars as the custom ordered ones, but they're produced to send to stores for retail, not a 'custom' option, but with the most commonly ordered specs, they're about $2k. It's a 'find one you like' kind of thing. Edit: Oh, the first 2 weeks with the Axe were nothing BUT side by side comparisons. If I'm being completely honest, I can't find a single negative aspect of the Axe-FX compared to traditional amps. The hardest thing for me to wrap my head around was setting up my FINAL sound (mic'd cab v/s pre-mic'd cab), but that just took a day or two. I think it's really just hard to mentally say 'yup, the little box is as good as the rest', it's almost intangible or something, I dunno. iostream.h fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Sep 30, 2014 |

So does that mean I should take this Jet City out of its shipping box

it was the first thing I did when I got my S when I was like 15 or w/e and I still use that guitar every day e: and i think ibanez is catching on because some of the latest ones don't have that useless middle pickup. some of them don't even have the useless neck pickup!!! muike fucked around with this message at 11:59 on Sep 30, 2014 |

FWIW, I'm that guy who likes an H at the neck and an S at the bridge, '72 Tele style. Seemingly not a very popular configuration.

The only HSH I actually like is the nighthawk with that setup, and only because I think it looks cooler than either of the HH arrangements.

Yeah, the Tele Custom definitely has a few fans - Richards most famously, Andy Summers (sort of), and most importantly to me, D. Boon in a good handful of photographs. I've seen more people in person play the HH Tele Deluxe, like the dude from Red Fang, and some local heavy rockers. I've just always been surprised that the Tele Custom type configuration isn't more popular.

Took my girlfriend out last weekend to look at a guitar for her birthday, and she is pretty set on this guy here. The neck is 25.5" scale long, but is thin/narrow enough for her to get her pixie hands around it and able to do chords so that's what she has her mind set on. It is certainly easier for her to get her hands around that compared to my Malden Utopia and is a fair spot lighter than my crappy old Epiphone Les Paul 2. The guitar comes in either Friday or next Monday, we'll see how she likes it when she plays it a bit.

Apparently managed to gently caress something up wrestling the wiring harness back into the thing---tested everything both with a multimeter and by plugging it into an amp before reassembly and everything was fine, but after getting the electronics back in the guitar it has some serious hum. Must've knocked a ground loose somewhere.

I'm looking at a Yamaha Pacifica 112 on CL for $60, just to see if I have any patience for an electric guitar. For an extra $40 the guy will throw in a Drive EA15 amp, cable, strap, and stand. For $100 I figure it would give me the experience without putting me out a bunch of money. Thing is, I looked up the amp and the Drive product guide lists it as an amp for acoustic pickups. At this level there a huge difference between an amp designed for electric pickups vs. one designed for acoustic ones? If not, I wouldn't mind having an amp like that, as I kinda want to get a pick-upped uke sometime in the future to go with my regular ones.

Every few months I tap into this weird dick dale surf rock/eastern sounding jam and run with it for like an hour. I love playing it but I don't know anything about the genre. I like it energetic and bouncy like old surf, kinda spazzy but melodic like tera melos. What artists should I look into? I've hardly listened to anything surfy even though playing it locks me into a loving zone.

Just buy your own strap and get a Vox Amplug from Amazon of your chosen flavour then listen on a pair of decent headphones or desktop PC speakers with a 3.5mm jack. Don't buy any of the K-On limited edition signature AmplugS, they're going right to GBS's bathroom recording tips thread.

Well admittedly, it doesn't look all that good, but supposedly it's near-immune to temperature/humidity changes, and I travel some pretty far distances north to south a LOT and that's pretty appealing.

I've had a GIO (albeit an older model with single-coils on the neck and middle pickups, but I only use the bridge double-coil anyway) as my only guitar since like 2007, it's fantastic. Slap some DR Pure Blues on it, get her a good pedal (I use a Metal Muff into a Crate V18, hugely versatile combo) and she'll be set for a while. Can't argue with the price, either; I got mine used for $90 off of Myspace classifieds.

Dirt posted:What exactly is different about the old fender WRHB pickups from the newer reissue ones? The original HRHBs aren't exactly my favourite pickup ever or anything, but the reissue version just sounds like a slightly anemic generic humbucker with a bottom end that tends toward sounding flat and thuddy.

I've never played a vintage one. I did own one of those Tele thinline HH reissues for awhile though. The pickups sounded pretty good IMO. Now I want to try an old one.

I've hardly listened to anything surfy even though playing it locks me into a loving zone.  Not sure whether you want eastern-sounding surf particularly or just general surf? The eastern-sounding stuff from the classic period is usually restricted to the occasional track, but there's modern bands that do something similar even though the 'surf' part is usually sorta diluted. Black Sun Ensemble are one that come to mind, and Sun City Girls did it sometimes too. Waaay more of an Eastern bent with those bands, though. If you know Dick Dale, you know classic surf rock. There's of course also the Ventures, the Shadows, the Surfaris... Albums are a mixed bag, get compilations (apart from the 1993 Dick Dale one, 'Tribal Thunder'). 'Group sounds' and 'eleki' from Japan might get you closer, a good Takeshi Terauchi compilation will go a long way. I'm pretty sure a Morricone compilation would have a lot of close sounds, too. Link Wray isn't exactly surf, but still worth a look in - hell, you probably already know how to play 'Rumble'. There's a current group in a similar vein that's fun too, the Diminished Men. If you wanna hear what other people did with the surf stuff, there's lots out there but not much of it gets very Eastern. Definitely check out Agent Orange. Most of the others do surf the way the Ramones did. And I think the Feelies get sorta close from a different angle, on their first album. But then you're just getting 'indie rock' and you might as well check out Polvo, Sonic Youth, etc. where the link is tenuous at best. I really dig when surf dudes did stuff like Caravan, Misirlou, so on. Wish there was more out there.

The guitar stylings of Omar Khorshid will make you feel so good and be a great starting point for the intersection of traditional surf with Middle Eastern vibes. You lucky dog.
