Kilometers Davis posted:The demo sucks horribly like most NAMM demos but I have a ton of faith in Misha. He's an honest guy with a great ear and this and his new pedal coming out are both full of cool features and are likely very good in person. Is that really the street price though because drat. It fits in the competition at that range but I think it would do way better under $1,500. it doesn't really have anything to do with misha it's more bewildered amusement at peavey's ongoing decline also lol they already had the video pulled

Dunno. Seems a bit unnecessary to me but I guess it depends on what your playing. At least it's simple and (hopefully) cheap.

For like $15 tops that seems like a neat idea for people that actually use their pots for their intended purposes instead of just treating them as an On/Off switch.

That's pretty cool, I actually marked my knobs to line up with a certain amount of tone and volume to get a certain sound, with this I wouldn't need the markings.

On the face of it it seems like a cool idea. Here is my disclaimer thing - I use my volume and tone controls exclusively to get my sounds when playing live, so pedals on, one channel, all done through the guitar controls. I go from clean to overdriven this way 100% of the time. My concern with anything like this Clutch is that it removes the need to learn your controls. I never have to look at my controls as I have learned how to use them well, and the Clutch seems to take this need away. I dunno, seems counter productive to me.

That's a little too "back in my day" sounding, this isn't about removing any skill from your guitar playing, but getting the same exact sound if you're changing the tone a bunch. It's like someone complaining the skill of tuning an instrument is removed when you use a tuner when someone else has perfect pitch. It doesn't matter though as just one Clutch (good for one knob) is $70... so lol

Yeah to me it's like using a sharpie to mark points on the knob only easier to change settings back and forth on a dark stage quickly. However: s.i.r.e. posted:it doesn't matter though as just one Clutch (good for one knob) is $70... so lol ahahahahahahahahaha

Some "build slots" just opened up for a pedal that I have been lusting for but has been out of stock. Wait time for this magical device? 8-10 weeks. Two and a half months for an effects pedal. Yes I want it that much.

I don't mind the idea as such, it's just an example of why it wouldn't maybe be necessary for me, or perhaps others. I honestly don't mean anything negative about the idea and can see how it could be really useful. Also $70, agreed, lol

100% serious question(s): Who is your favorite guitarist? Did you buy their guitar/amp/gear? Post some youtube videos please. I want to check out some other cool people. Ok thanks. In other news I have been jamming with an old dude who has a 1963 Gibson Firebird(first year!!). He let's me play it a lot. I feel like Johnny Winter every goddamn time I pick it up. Firebirds own. I want one. Dirt fucked around with this message at 08:51 on Jan 28, 2017 |

Weirdly after all the money I've spent on gear in my life, the only signature EVH stuff I've ever bought are his striped Converse shoes, several times. Oh and a little model of his Kramer 5150 guitar which has lost all the tuning pegs because it kept falling off my shelf.

Dirt posted:100% serious question(s): Who is your favorite guitarist? Did you buy their guitar/amp/gear? Post some youtube videos please. My guitar hero is Rick Graham, not because he's insanely fast, but because he's so loving efficient and his playing is effortless. He doesn't exert more energy than he needs to and it's phenomenal. He's also adept in all styles, can easily shred his way through various scales to Bach levels of fluidity and is a drat good classical guitarist as well. The only person that I've ever found to be more perfect on a technical level was Shawn Lane (RIP). Though, like Shawn Lane, I don't care for the music that he tends write and play himself. I don't think he has any gear but I don't buy anyone's gear save for my Buckethead LP, and that's just a wall decoration at this point.

I bought a Laney TI15-112 because I wanted a small, doomy, tube amp with an FX loop and it was heavily discounted due to damage so cheaper than anything else. Turned out to be a piece of chalk wedged in the front grill. I also play E standard tuning with 8-38 strings because my hands are hosed up with arthritis. Anyone who plays it can sound like Iommi if you just dial everything to 6 and practice open hand vibrato without breaking a string.

I ended up with a music man amp by chance, but I bought phaser to sound like him. All I need is a cheap chorus pedal and I'll be set. Anyone got one, holler. My buddy has a firebird, loves it.

Dirt posted:100% serious question(s): Who is your favorite guitarist? Did you buy their guitar/amp/gear? Post some youtube videos please. None of my purchases have been because of artists. Usually I just buy what's in my price range and accomplishes what I want from it. But here's been my big influences in the past years as earlier on it was more punk stuff and then Iron Maiden and Slayer for a long time. Anders Bjorler from At the Gates, The Haunted, et al. (right guitar in the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyw8qB7kvHc Jon Nodveidt from Dissection. A huge shitbag that makes incredible riffs. (Middle guitar in the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpHYwKTMdrc&t=120s Jacob Buczarski is behind the one man project Mare Cognitum and holy gently caress I love this stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDINlp9ABHE

It's a boring answer but I love 70s Aerosmith and that extends to their guitar sounds. The band that showed the Stones that we were perfectly capable of ripping off blues guys on this side of the pond as well. When I say love I don't think I have any of their stuff. I need to get a copy of Toys in the Attic. As for signature gear I don't care but I lust for one of those purple Robert Cray hardtail strats.

Favourite guitarists, too many to mention but I'll try a top 3! I'm like Spanish Manlove in that my gear buying isn't dictated by any of my heroes but I do think they subconsciously may have an influence. 1) John Squire - Stone Roses. For a few reasons, his playing is complex but melodic and I still think the debut album by them is astounding. For early stuff just check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbU7oVz0Uq0 Skip to 3.34 for the breakdown into an instrumental that still to this day blows me away His later stuff with them is more Led Zeppy but still amazing to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD4emkq6XOc He straddles the line between guitar god and being tasteful, which I really admire. 2) Rory Gallagher, this guy did influence my first 'proper' guitar choice, a black Tele. I will never play like him, and I don't listen to him that often but as a guitarist to look up to he is well up there for me. He's the only guy that I sat and watched videos of when I was a kid, just to see him play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUYC5Q-bqgY Again I think that that raw, genuine sound is there which I like, it must speak to me in a way nothing else does. Just that feeling of someone meaning it, going for it and making the guitar wail and scream with no cheese. Eddie Hazel - Funkadelic Maybe my all time favourite, on the album Maggot Brain you can hear him helping invent funk, that album sits awkwardly between Hendrix style rock and what would become P Funk, and that gives it a unique and magical vibe. So we get really amazing stuff like Super Stupid which shows off Eddie's staggering ability to play grooves and rock riffs in a funky way, turn this up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVHrvx-Ua68 And probably his defining moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh3bleXWaCk For that track he was told to think of something upsetting and play what that felt like, so he thought about his mother dying and just wailed that guitar out. Originally that track was supposed to have a full band going at it but on hearing it the producer hosed most of it off and Kept Eddie's amazing performance as almost a solo

This is probably another boring answer but my favorite guitarist has always been David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. I don't think there has ever been a guitarist who uses space between notes quite like Gilmour. Listen to any of his solos from his time with Floyd and so much of the power and feeling comes from the pauses and spaces he leaves in between his playing. It makes every note feel that much more important and meaningful.

Totally agree but also some of my favourite stuff by him is when he flips the gently caress out like at the end of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHrE6lM0D2E It's that nasty blues stuff that I seem to gravitate towards. I think this was also his first recording with them as they slowly ushered Syd out

(Middle guitar in the video) I love Jon and Dissection and it's a god drat shame that after prison the music changed so drastically and he decided to end it because of his super goofy beliefs. He was a piece of work but at least he showed remorse about the murder, so that's kinda redeeming.
