I can barely play the guitar and I'm pretty sure I could learn most of a Skynyrd set in a couple of days

Gnumonic posted:I mean you're entitled to your opinion and all but I'm laughing my rear end off at the idea that Lynyrd Skynyrd of all groups is where you draw the line. Beethoven must drive you insane. Try Bach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddbxFi3-UO4 A single instrument playing 4 independent, yet imitative voices all on their own journey mostly jumping between the i and V7 chord. Each voice is complimenting the other and none of them stop being melodic, it's perfectly balanced, as all things should be. I'm not religious, but Bach makes me question the existence of divinity. And Bach would improvise fugues because he could. Like, lol everyone else can just gently caress off.

yeah, but Yngwie could go "meedly meedly meedly" vaguely in time with a drum set going "brubbabrubbabrubba" for like 10 straight minutes!

No problem. Stolen Singles, their demo collection, is a good buy, too. The guitar work on Queen Hygiene II was hugely influential on me and to my inability to start a band with what I write.

Eh, I could understand when people use it if they don't primarily speak English. They don't know any better or it was a pain in the rear end for them to get it (see the guy who sold me the multi-scale 8 string). If that ain't the case, though? Yeah, total douchenozzle trying to sell you garbo.

Joel Wheeler, owner of Matamp USA™ (if you buy a Matamp and it's not from England, it's "made" by him) is notorious for taking many years to deliver an amp (that cost several thousand dollars) and sometimes just not delivering anything whatsoever. He's so awful that Matt Pike notoriously stopped using his amps (and while on tour with them, when the poo poo between them went down, he went through the trouble of covering the amps during a show). Anyhow here's an inside baseball phone call between a pissed off customer and the man himself admitting in a lot of weasely words to being lovely, all the while blaming complaining customers as people "who shouldn't be playing these amps anyways." It's kind of a lol if you are stoner metal-adjacent at all and enjoy beefy riffs and also interpersonal dramas: https://soundcloud.com/spectrelab/erroneus-and-libels-included

Isn't this the same story as almost every boutique amp maker? The Gear Page is littered with the corpses of those who preordered Cameron CCVs, or who have been waiting 27 years for a Dumble or whatever. If I really desperately wanted one of those amps I'd just pay someone to make me a clone. Hell from looking inside my Ceriatone I'm confident you can get clones that are better made than the originals for cheaper...

Dr. Faustus posted:This is most certainly true. My own anecdote involves a very amazing guitarist who has a Dumble clone in a Dumble enclosure and it sounds amazing. My friends and I always wondered why this person would take something so rare (we thought it was real, more fool we) to a club for a gig. Then he told us he paid someone to build the internals and it cost him about $1K. He has played the real thing. I will leave it to the imagination just how we felt about this. Uproarious laughter?

Yea that is certainly true however the name Matamp holds a legendary spot in peoples’ hearts and this dude did some crafty trademarking and has steadily driven the name Matamp into the ground.

I know you're joking, but 9 gigs out of 10 I'm just using a Mesa Recto-Verb Head 4-cable'd into a Line 6 POD HD. Neither one was difficult to find and the variety of tones I can get out of those two things is hilariously vast. Also, here's something for stupid music poo poo: I normally use a 2x12 Orange cab with the option to be fully closed or open back that's s'posed to be the cream of the crop of easily available cabinets. Well, recently, a friend retired from music business and he sold a bunch of stuff around. I got from him both his Boss Katana 100 watt head and the accompanying 2x12 open back cabinet for like 250 dollars. The cabinet? IT SOUNDS BETTER THAN THE ORANGE CAB. Like, objectively better.

I'm more of a modded Marshall than 5150 guy but... I mean, it's not like there's some kind of magic secret technology that makes an amp great. It's a bunch of electronic components from the 1930s, based on a design from the 1930s, that can be assembled by... you or me with enough dedication. I'm sure those super high end amps sound great, but there's no reason at all why a cheap (or reasonably priced) amp can't sound just as good. If you buy a $3k+ amp you're paying for the name on the front more than anything. At least with guitars, some of them are made of wood you can't get anymore or easily. There's no such thing as an old growth transformer or capacitor.

Amps are overrated. I played a bunch of back line shows on guitar over summer so got everything from a Hiwatt to a Katana 100 and they all sounded pretty good through the big rigs. I also have an unofficial arrangement with a UK bass amp company that isn't quite a proper endorsement, but they've lent us some gear for touring. Every night I dragged this 410 and head out of the van onstage and I got loads of comments about how great it sounded. I've been politely repping them without ever mentioning that every front of house is all Sansamp; unless you're ten yards in front of me you'll probably never hear my amp. With all due respect to the company, who have been lovely, bass amps are extremely heavy and we don't have a full crew yet so I'm just going rigless for the next tour... If I found something I enjoyed enough I'd do the same for guitar.

Also pedals can be very affected by component selection. Specifically diodes and transistors. This makes sense, doping silicon or germanium is by nature a little slap-dash. One of the reasons Klon Centaurs are so rare and prized is that the components are basically hand-selected because 2 diodes with identical part numbers can sound very different. There's no diodes in any tone capacity in any all-tube amp I've read a schematic for.

I'm probably going to go to the Deluxe soon so I don't have to fiddle with settings between songs, but it's ridiculous how many techs and other players come up after the set to check out what I'm using. Our sound guy loves it.
