Kilometers Davis posted:Yeah cool just go ahead and post all that without sound/video clips featuring sick jams I don't have my recording stuff setup so I went to look for a guitar demo of the Meatsmoke and 90% of the videos are for bass. I only recently noticed I bought a bass amp that is also a great guitar amp hah. The description on the Verellen site is: "300 TUBE WATTS FOR BASS OR MASSIVE GUITAR" Here is someone doing Sleep toanz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSUuXCRxBs0 With a solid state power section I don't get that power tube sag but diming an actual 6-tube power section Meatsmoke is a helluva prospect. It actually has a very sweet-sounding overdriven sound in the non-boost channel and I get great cleans out of it, too.

I broke down and bought this guitar off Reverb:  One of the New(?) Korean-made SE Custom 24's. Always liked PRS guitars (in one of my previous bands, the other guitar player had 2), but always thought that all available lefty models that I encountered were either too expensive or had too flashy finishes. Hopefully this one does me right.

I bought a Korean PRS SE 277 (the baritone) recently, and holy crap that thing plays better than other guitars I've touched for 3x the price. Absurd. Honestly thinking about getting a SE Custom 24.

Upgrading from some lightly microphonic GFS ones. e: I mean the microphonic isn't super an issue because a lot of my playing goes through THR -> headphones but sometimes I still like to play through my real amp Also I'm just crushingly curious about the drat things Shugojin fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Dec 26, 2017 |

So I thought I would add to the Youtube cancer which is pedal demos... I've got a decent sized pedal collection at home and I love messing with pedals. I also hate the vast majority of pedal demos online. Since it's holidays and I had a bit of spare time, I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring. What I'm doing "differently" than other pedal demos is: - I'm going to re-amp the same performance each time. Each pedal demo will have the exact same song\performance guitar on it. That means if you want to compare 2 pedals, it's easy to do so. - I'm testing it with an Axe-FX so the recording conditions are always identical. - The pedals are plugged into a bypass looper. No other pedals in the signal chain will impact the sound. - 2 videos per pedal. 1 video with a Strat, 1 video with a Les Paul. Same music for both. - Each demo will test the pedal with Fingerpicking, Open\Barre Chords, Power Chords, Single-Note Riffage and lead, regardless of what it's "good" at. - Video length around 6 minutes. Long enough to demonstrate the pedal, but not a life-sucker. So basically, my approach is to be as unbiased as possible, and covering a fair bit of ground. This approach probably still wouldn't let me test out ALL the options of a Strymon whatchimacallit, but let's be reasonable here. The advantage to doing it this way: - Since I'm re-amping, I don't have to worry about re-recording\re-mixing a performance each time. - If it's the same performance, record the video once and just replace the comments\audio each time. Basically, I have a full time job and I would like to keep that job. I like loving around with pedals, but I want it to be quick and easy to make one of these videos. I'd hate to spend an entire day working with ONE pedal. Since I'm on holidays, I spent a day creating a template for this. It took me about 30-45 minutes to crank out one of these videos once it was all "set up" so at least that objective of the process works. I've used my strat for these videos and if they seem like a good idea, I'll tweak the format (AKA: Templates) for the Les Paul videos and see if I get it right there. IN THE MEANTIME: Here be the 5 videos I made. I'm sure all you gear-heads have seen pedal demos and loved\hated some of them. All feedback is useful at this stage and hey: If it turns out that this is an idea that doesn't work, no harm or foul . It was a fun holiday project .Boss DS-1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiWixRUfCWk TS-808: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMFOchaouck EHX Electric Mistress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T5RENpIlnw JHS Muffuletta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VAmXYgfuCw Suhr Riot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1smllXsd4G8&t=25s

It's not a YouTube pedal review if your gear isn't a Squier through a 10 watt Peavey Rage or a Gibson historic 59 reissue Les Paul through a Dumble, either setup played at a low enough volume that the microphone on the phone you're using to record the thing picks up the acoustic sound of the pick hitting the strings louder than the sound through the amp. Describe your "clean" sound as being straight into the amp, with just some delay/reverb, compression and maybe a boost in front of the pedal. Express amazement at how the pedal "responds to your playing dynamics" like it's the first overdrive ever that gets more distorted if you play harder. It is also important that the pedal you got to change your tone is "transparent" so it doesn't affect your tone. And whatever kind of bypass it has is the right kind of bypass because you need to keep this hype train going and once you get 5K subscribers an Asian copycat producer might send you some cheapo review units.

It’s already reached the point where the easiest way to get people to listen to your original music is to put it up as a tone demo.

So I came to the realization lately that I would prefer to have a strat over the Jay Mascis jazzmaster I currently have. What would be a fair selling price for it, or trade value? its a sweet guitar, I just prefer the tone and shape of a strat I guess.

I mean I really really like it, the bass toggle switch thing is sweet and is almost a kill switch if you move it quick enough. Neck feels great, body and paint are pretty, love the white on gold. Strats are just.. THE guitar, for me I guess, okay!? I like how they play all around in general, I don't really like the feel of this bridge and bigass pickups, its never felt right picking around there if that makes sense. Took me awhile to realize I just didn't like how this thing felt as a whole. Sounds pretty loving sweet through my lil yamaha modeling amp, that is for certain.

Got up at 6:30 on a Saturday, but at least it was for a good reason. Picked up a guitar and amp for $100. Guitar  Might say I bought it on a ...  Lawsuit-era Lark branded Les Paul copy  Body is in excellent shape, multi-piece sandwich with a pressed top, so it's hollow under the cap. I had one similar ~20 years ago that was full plywood and weight a ton, this one is actually pretty light.    The neck on the other hand...   There is a definite crack running parallel to the fret broad, yet the whole thing seems stable, and with where it is string tension is probably keeping it closed. Not going to worry about it until it has problems. Right now it plays okay, needs a setup and clean up. And the amp  Vox V-5 Student, made in the US in 1966 by Thomas Organ, based on a tabletop AM radio circuit with a 35W4, 12AU6, and 50C5 tubes. Yeah, it's a weird one, and apparently only made for one year. All this one does is hum right now, which means a cap job, but it did pick up AM radio at the house where I picked it up! Still has original tubes and the original 7" speaker. I will need to clean up the speaker wiring from the output transformer, someone broke some wires and soldered them direct to the speaker rather than back onto the posts of the transformer.  $100 well spent, I think, plus I also got this great vintage strap!

After a long wait on CITES to import it to Canada, I got a Troy Van Leeuwen Jazzmaster just before Christmas:  Didn’t stay in tune with the stock strings when using the vibrato, so I changed them out for some NYXL’s and kept more windings around the tuners. Stays in tune like a champ now!

Know Such Peace posted:The TVL Jazzmaster is my favorite guitar. I love all the little details that were put into it. It has the vintage witch hat knobs, that upper toggle switch that can double as a kill-switch, a matching headstock, and that beautiful rosewood fretboard with thick binding and block inlays. The oxblood color itself is pretty fantastic. It changes from a medium red to nearly black depending on the lighting in the room. Absolutely! I’m a big fan of TVL, so it’s natural his signature model would be dressed to the 9’s as well. The old Yamaha model he had was the same way too. I’ve heard a lot of people don’t like the Rhythm circuit on JM’s but I’ve found it’s useful. I hadn’t thought about using it as a kill switch so I’m going to try that out, that would be a neat effect to play around with. Sockington posted:Sup sexy Jazzer brother! That’s one nice Jazzmaster!! I have a pair of CIJ Fender basses that I’ve been playing for 10 years, absolutely solid instruments!
