>>127506854
It’s worse.

>>127506854
well it sounds more pleasing to the ear. it still has this really overdriven, smooth sound like all the peaks have been clipped. what are you recording with or into and does it have a meter that shows you the signal strength? or this a recording of your amp into a phone

brainlet here, i can only play covers how do i git gud?

>>127507085
I agree that it sounds too overdriven, yet I don't see how I could make it any clearer.
I'm using a Focusrite as an interface and FL Studio with Amplitube for the amp simulation. The input is still on the green on my interface, but I agree that the signal is too strong in the DAW... yet the gain is only at 3, volume at 9.
It definitely shouldn't be in the red, but if I lower the volume it will only be quieter but just as messy.

Okay guys, I'm considering two options for my telecaster and am wondering what the better move is. I own a 59 custom shop telecaster, it's awesome and I am considering throwing some considerable money down on it for a stainless steel refret and plek job. I also have a set of titanium Gotoh compensated saddles as well as locking tuners I want to put on them. It already sounds amazing, I mostly just want it to be as playable and reliable as possible. However, doing a stainless steel refret and plek on the fret board at my local guitar shop is $600. As an alternative, I have about $1500 of expendable cash to use on guitar gear right now and I am wondering if it would just be a better move to trade in that tele and instead buy an off the shelf Suhr Classic T. Been reading a lot about these guitars and it kind of seems like they are just super reliable with objectively better modern features. Apparently most of their guitars' standard build includes the plek'd stainless steel frets, locking tuners, compound fretboard radius, roasted maple neck, etc.. I recently played one of their strats at a local guitarshop and I really dug their neck profile, and the finish on the neck felt right. Thoughts? Are Suhrs actually the real deal or are they just overhyped?

>>127507208
what's that black and orange pedal in the signal chain? sorry i'm recording software retarded

>>127507113
Just start dicking around until something sounds cool, take that part, use it to dick around some more until more cool stuff happens. Rise and repeat. Record yourself when you do this btw. You can't catch lightning without a bottle and you WON'T remember it tomorrow.

>>127507344
Just a booster (that wasn't present in the first audio clip) and a compressor. No idea if a compressor is even useful, I just usually add one.
And don't worry, I'm definitely the retarded one.

>>127507379
i would bypass each of those one at a time and see if it fixes anything. i'm assuming you've already tried that though

>>127507397
Yeah, it doesn't change much. I only added a booster because I couldn't hear the bass otherwise, but I assume my "mix" is also terribly wrong and the guitar is way too loud.

>>127507417
do you have an amp to try the bass through? beginning to wonder if something is fucked in the wiring? also is this an active bass

>>127507203
^shits cum^

>>127507417
>>127507379
try adding a noise gate at the beginning.
also move the eq pedal around i even put it after the amp sometimes

>>127507474
It sounds much less messy with my real amp (a cheap Ampeg BA110 v2).
It's not an active bass.
The wiring looks okay, as far as I can tell, even though the tone knob, which you pointed out in the previous thread, seems to work: I can hear a very slight difference when I turn it from 0 to 10.

>>127507546
The EQ pedal is turned off, but I'll try with a noise gate.

Because they're the dumbest generation

>>127507589
i had a 50s gibson lp standard but sold it to put the money towards an acoustic. right now i just have an eastman pc1-hd which is the cheapest guitar ive ever owned at $300

>>127507256
If the tele is so awesome why would you wanna trade it in? Unless the frets are basically gone, there's no need for a refret. That guitar is gonna be worth more with time so trading it in just seems like a waste. And if you do go with a refret, it's gonna be even more awesome of an instrument so there really is bo point in getting rid of it.

Suhrs look nice I will admit though but better save up and get it another time if you really want it than getting rid of this one. Just my two cents.

>>127507865
Yeah good point. I may just do that instead. Part of me kind of regrets buying the Custom Shop Fender in the first place though. I got it lightly used for $3300, but relatively the QC of Custom Shop is hit or miss it seems, whereas Suhr has a reputation for being very consistent and reliable while selling brand new guitars at like $500-600 less than the Custom Shop. Its like 90% of guitar manufactures including the custom shop-tier stuff have by default decided to pass the expense of getting properly set up guitars onto the customer. With my tele, the only thing I had to complain about is that a couple of the tuners will skip every so often. I'm not sure if thats a result of being "true vintage" with all the supposed quirks that vintage guitars have, but for me its kind of irritating sometimes and its why I decided to purchase a new pair of locking tuners to replace them. I also feel like it wouldn't be asking much for guitar manufacturers in the $3000-4000 price range to install stainless steel frets on their guitars by default. Then again, I guess Fender Custom Shop is technically making guitars to accurately represent true vintage spec.

>>127507589
Most $3500 on a Tele, least $350 on an EVH Wolfgang

>>127507589
$6000 on a 1964 ES335 reissue, $100 on a Squier Bullet Strat

>>127507967
3500 for the most dead simple body shape?

>>127507940
Oh it definitely is stupid as fuck that such expensive guitars aren't perfect in every way but that's big name brand I guess.

But yeah, I would definitely keep it just because. Especially since it seems like you really like it and have new tuners for it. I get the buyers regret too but yeah, I doubt you'll be getting the same worth you paid with a trade in. Really though, if it plays great for you, keep it. No point in trying to go for something else instead when you've got something that works for you.

>they want $30 for IRs I haven't even heard
where can I find some good free ones

Would have been perfect without that ugly headstock name/logo.

>>127509109
Nah I specifically wanted a 1967/1968 reissue, I like that bold black lettering and the thicker headstock

I like Guitar rigg more than Neural DSP.
Am I just dialing in the amps wrong for DSP?

katana go or positive grid SPARK GO?

>>127509328
Katana go has a great UI, a suite of effects, great EQ parameters. It has no amp modeling though, only its own amps.
I haven't tried the Spark myself but it does have all the famous amps onboard.

Katanas are shit

>>127508811

Looks like you farted out cum and it bleached the sofa

>>127509475
Funny because when I was looking at this Tele it was between it or a Benson Chimera. The amp sounded so nice but man I couldn’t stomach the nearly $5k price tag after tax. It’s the only Benson amp I’ve ever seen in person. I want some flavor of handwired Deluxe Reverb clone and was really leaning Dr Z or Carr but now I’ve got Benson on my radar

>>127509328
Vox Pathfinder, you're wasting your money on gimmicky bluetooth speakers/plug in amps

>>127509638
I highly recommend the Benson Bellringer. It’s the chimera circuit with an added 5 watts (35 total) and power scaling circuit to reduce the wattage and volume when needed. His builds allow you to choose between a 1x12” or 2x12” cab. If you’re playing single coil guitars, I honestly think Benson is the way to go. Not that humbuckers sound bad through the amp, but the eq sounds absolutely perfect with the single coil clarity. I played a deluxe reverb for 10 years and loved it. Sometime later after multiple gear trades, I settled on this benson and can say it’s probably the best sounding amp I’ve ever played. The voicing has the perfect eq with a prominent midrange which helps you to cut through really well in a full band without any loss of clarity. Even at lower volumes, the clean tone still has a really nice harmonic character and dynamic response. When you turn it up and get the tubes running, the breakup sounds like the chime or jangle you get with a vox followed by the bloom you get with a tweed amp. Don’t get me wrong, a deluxe reverb is arguably the most versatile amp ever made and I love its breakup, but the breakup of the benson just sounds so right, and it’s ultimately a much more practical amp with how simple and straightforward it is with the addition of the modern features like the power scaling circuit. A lot of times, a deluxe reverb is too loud and you can’t really get them to sound amazing without turning up to volume 4 which is already fucking loud.

Took me a couple months to really connect with it, but now that the speaker and output transformer is broken in, I’m not sure I want anything else. I bought mine from sweet water for $3800 brand new. I imagine that if you sell some gear to get a good down payment, you can just finance the rest for an affordable price for 6-12 months.

>>127509810
>finance
Lmao @ poors

>>127509810
I’ve had some flavor of Princeton Reverb for the last 15-18 years or so and that’s definitely “my” amp sound, but adding something a little bigger has been on my radar for a while. I had a Twin for a bit but it was too much, a Deluxe would be a nice addition but man that Benson just sounded stellar. $3800 from Sweetwater isn’t too bad, but I’d definitely need to sell things to fund it especially after just buying this CS Tele. I’ve been on the fence about selling some more redundant guitars, and I’ve got a few rifles I’ve also been on the fence about selling so I could get the money together without too much effort with some saving and selling. I love Princetons but I’m also just want a little variety in amps after having only a single amp for the last four or five years.

>>127510027
Part of being a musician is the constant trading/selling of gear to fund other pieces of gear that are more useful to you. I ended up selling a bunch of gear I didn't use to fund the Benson. No reason to get super attached to stuff you don't actually use often. Also, a tele or JM is the best sounding guitars you can pair with it, so might as well just go for it. You'd also have a variety of tones to choose from considering you'd own a fender-voiced amp and another amp which is more british-voiced.

Oh I don't mind the lettering itself honestly, it's a good looking font. It's the positioning of it that makes it ugly for me. If it was more centered or something I wouldn't mind it at all.

Post your pedalboards.

Got us a new schizo boys

any recommendations on a good drum machine/pedal? I'd like to incorporate one to spicy up my practice

>>127510333
checked. no i really just prefer a looper because most pre recorded drums don't capture the mood. if you want a good free metronome gets scott's bass lessons groove trainer

>>127510252
I like that style logo on them honestly, 1967 was the first year for it. I like how wrong and goofy it looks with CBS trying to cram the make and model in bold on the small little Tele headstock. I like silver spaghetti logo the best but I’ve already got a Tele with that, this will be different

I just saw used epiphones at $700 and $1300
Retail is fucked.

Their finishes were good though and they had Gibson shape headstocks. That's still 2-4x what they should cost.

Bowie is gay. Only good song is rebel rebel.

>>127511343
$1300 for epiphone is insane.

>>127511343
idk why you would buy an epiphone at all when you can just get a gibson studio

>>127511330
He was also terrified of Jimmy Page for some reason.

>>127511372
Better features, fancy tops, binding, ebony board. If it has a Gibson headstock as well, literally why not?

>>127511343
$1300 is les paul studio money

Way more good songs than Rebel though.

I have an Origin20H, but I can never crank it like this. I was thinking of selling it, but now I have second thoughts. I need to get this at room volumes. It already has a wattage switch, but it still needs to be lower for room level.

>>127511360
They're sloppy second epiphones. They need to be 100-400. The only epi's that I see in any physical store consistently for that price are the melody makers with two single coils.

I think a lot of those guitars have never once been set up. Granted the wrap around sucks. It just seems pointless to put so little effort into an instrument.

last chance to play authentic, buddy

>>127511624
You aren't wrong.
I'd rather get an Epi that was originally an actual Epi model though. Like their archtops.

>>127511529
I think they're trying to make epiphone a more presentable brand. idk what their sales numbers look like. Instrument quality looks high. It's like McDonalds. Spending $12 to eat now vs a few items on the old dollar menu.

I know we know too much about this crap and shop too much on Reverb and Ebay. The mom and pop retail is even worse. Pawns are filled to the brim with planks and it's not as easy as it should be to get a fair price.

>>127511473
Nah studio is minimum entry enjoy your gibson with a plastic nut and retard bridge and shit tuners (etc) because you wanted to save $100

>>127511658
>I think they're trying to make epiphone a more presentable brand
It's silly when you can get new American made Fenders for the same price. Or forget Fender. A lot of quality Japanese stuff out there in the $1k range too.

Is there a reason you're using that amp in Amplitube? Do you have all the amps? Gallien-Kurger MB 150 s is my go to on ampltube. There others I'd go to ahead of that solid state one too. But if you like it, you like it.
I'd recomment turning off the booster, use the EQ to cut the bass if you are using it (-6db on 100hz) depends on what style you're going for. Also try putting a compressor after the amp.
And turn down the input on your interface, that's very important for amplitube, on focusrite I'd say turn it down fully.

What gives a minor chord that signature "sad" sound?
Is it a specific note that's played?

>>127512091
It's the lower third compared to major. But that's just the technical explanation. There's probably all kinds of subconscious impressions we've built up that make us perceive it as sad. I don't know why that is.

>>127512091
It's because of resonance or the frequency ratio, the "good" ratios like 1/2, 3/4 ring well together and create a sense of joy or comfort while the disonances give you discomfort, sadness or mysteriousness
As for why, who the fuck knows it's some evolution shit

only a Gibson is good enough

>>127479081
you guys seeing this?

im not rich but even if i am, any guitar i want to spend should be at most 1000$ each. dont feel like i'll be an even better guitarist by going for more expensive axes

Should have just stoppe at "I'm not rich"

>>127512157
play guitar smart mean getting the most toan out of the least gear

>>127512157
i can't hear a difference between the standard d18 martin satin ($2400) and the 1937 authentic d18 ($7500). there are minor variations from acoustic guitar to acoustic guitar but yeah you're right. you should really slap the best tuners you can on any guitar you buy tho

>>127512157
I've had mint $3k guitars for $1k.
You just have to put it in a quarantine and extinguish the sloppy second remnants.

>>127512209
>shit ears

>>127512209
Yeah, it's imperceptible to me too..but you don't get nitro with that satin. So you'll notice that sooner or later.
That said, you don't get nitro with hardly anyone anymore. Taylor doesn't do it, yet they charge the same as Martin.

>>127512218
there is no greater difference between those two guitars than there is between any two d18 standards. maybe in person but certainly not through a video on studio headphones

>>127512227
nitrofag is at it again

>>127512235
I don't post that much. Not about nitro at least. It does matter with acoustics though. Just like toan woods do. Totally different ball game than electrics. That or some varnish. Whatever is thinner, the better.
And it potentially looks cooler on acoustics over time. Same as electrics.

This is out of my reach
And it's grown

>>127512004
GP5 having NAM is very tempting.

Why do poorfags feel the need to announce themselves? We have ears and eyes senpai

As a youtube cover guy I don't really like super strats but have started thinking it might be nice to own one considering how often I need those humbuckers

Also, just to mention, they've added some of the good stuff from "authentic" Martin lines to the Standards for some time. Since the 60s, Martin did little tweaks here and there to Standards that made them slightly different than the originals. But around 2017, they redid all of that to get back to basics. So you're getting a great guitar either in a standard or those satin ones. They kept some things in Standards that most modern people welcome. Like a slightly thinner neck. The originals are pretty fat.
What they've kept in the Authentics is like hide glue and Adirondack spruce (more expensive) rather than Alaska type most used these days and they're built in the custom shop by their best guys. But that isn't to say the Standards are built by shitty employees. Those people will probably be in the Custom shop one day too.

I always say this, and then end up selling them off. I'm sure there's a superstrat out there with my name on it, but I haven't felt it yet.

Strats annihilate with a great amp. They do bright, and clear, and quack into anything.

>>127512376
yeah you can hear some more highs or just a brighter voicing going to the modern deluxe or authentic but not a $4000 difference imo

>>127512445
Captain Beyond and Heep are my jam. I fuck with this.

>>127512376
I hate how the authentic series goes through all the trouble of special aging treatments just to still sound like a brand new guitar

>>127512467
Strat's just so articulate..even when it's nasty. But I do need some hb guitar again. Maybe a superstrat isn't the answer. Maybe just a spare Gibson or Epi when I'm jonesing for that.

i hate reliced guitars so much

>>127512511
Surely you aren't talking about this place since everybody owns a shitty squier from 2010

>>127512517
sounds like ur poor

the prices.....make it make sense

>>127512526
i could buy that guitar right now
why would i buy up a guitar someone else beat up though

>>127512511
Being a grandpa is cool. You could jerk off in public and blatantly look at porn, and get away with it. You could steal candy from a kid, and they'll just think you're a sweet old man who's lost his mind.

What the fuck are those god awful saddles

You guys think I need a refret yet?

>>127512578
Looks like they're going for the bad intonation like OG brass Teles, but now with a Bigsby.
But it still looks like a fun guitar.

>>127512587
recrown yes

for me its the flying V in beato blue

Is it weird that I think I actually prefer Yamaha’s shape to a strat?
Am I straight?

>>127512606
Aesthetically dunno but the yamaha design is inferior because half the electronics aren't on the pickguard

>>127512606
It's a trap. I've said before, if you buy one Yamaha thing, then you must buy them all.
You get your strat types, your LP types, your your shredder types, your semi hollows, your amps, your modelers, your acoustics, your classicals, your pianos, your drums, your bass, your keyboard, your trumpets, your motorcycle, your fishing boat, your robot waifus maid. It never ends.

>>127512587
switch to pure nickel strings, they wont wear out your frets as fast. Steel just eats right in

>>127512629
Sounds like it would cost more overtime than refretting with stainless steel frets

>>127512650
you could also stop deathgripping your guitar like a total sperg

>>127512526
that's a better relic than most

>>127512626
I have had a Yamaha dirt bike before, and it was the best dirt bike I ever owned..
Are you saying it’s superior to Strats?
Anon- I don’t even think basswood is an option in these guitars…

>>127512621
This. Keep the controls on the pickguard or at least a plate.

>>127512678
Nothing is superior to Strats.
But I don't hate Yamaha. I had a P-Bass type thing long ago. It was kind of cool. It was slightly not a P-Bass, like that guitar isn't exactly a Strat shape.

i have a yamaha bass also a yamaha keyboard, used to have a yamaha acoustic guitar but that one was long gone

>>127512734
the yamaha acoustics are fantastic at every price range. the FG5s are nuts

>>127512739
i now own a cort acoustic guitar which i bought from a book shop

Funny I've never owned a yamaha instrument despite their popularity and having played plenty

Yahama now owns Cordoba and Line 6. Pretty soon none of us will escape them.

>babby's first classical guitar and babby's first modeling amp/effect
yawn

>>127512822
They own line 6? Well shit they won.

>>127512840
It seems like Line 6 is shooting for more than just babby now, with that new one.

>>127512862
Also, Yamaha already makes legitimately prized classical guitars (and other instruments). So yeah, they're going after the student market with Cordoba, I guess. Apparently, they don't sell cheap classicals as well.

>>127512755
bookmans? love that place

>>127512840
who else makes classicals under $1k

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdmtYLKLqKI exhilarating

>>127512879
Yamaha itself does under its own name, Alvarez, Takamine, lot of smaller brands.

>>127512945
i believe you, ive just never seen them

Use a capo

Is it possible to make a Strat bridge pickup sound like the Tele's?

>>127512578
RSD bridge. On Custom Shops only, akaik.

>>127512968
add some treble, compression and pick right up against the bridge

>>127513007
I can't. I'll hit the middle pickup and the rusty sharp thingies on the bridge. Those injure my hand and I don't want to get tetanus.

>>127513074
replace your bridge if its actually rusty

>>127513074
You don't get tetanus from rust, dumbass.

>>127513082
I'll lose the vintage look and sound if I do that.

>>127513074
how would you hit the middle pickup?

>>127513139
The guitar is way down low my torso so when I strum, it would be a diagonal pattern. Should I just get a Telecaster?

>>127513167
just try picking next to the bridge bridge with the bridge pickup on with full tone sitting down and see if you like the tone first

>>127512536
>the prices.....make it make sense
Gibson is now owned by Henry Kravis' hedge fund.

>>127512626
>if you buy one Yamaha thing, then you must buy them all
Damn. I thought that only happened to me.

I'm glad Yamaha doesn't make artificial kidneys.

i feel like drawing again, any reference pics?

>>127509319
Most of the Neural stuff sounds too similar to each other, I do like the Archtype Cory Wong

>>127513319
probably cause half the artists modeled their mesa OS412 cabs and use variations on 5150's

>>127513352

What gear they used for "What I Like About You" by The New Romantics?

is there a benefit to playing a scale diagonally?

i don't know who this is but i feel i should apologise for this

What’s it like plying a Gibson LP compared to a strat?

>>127513578
strength build vs agility build

>>127513543
Sarah Longfield

>>127513578
the strat is the default build, balanced and you can change build direction at any point.

the gibson is a flat debuff, -25% DEX and INT but also -15% exp gain. It allows slower progression BUT you get the bragging rights perk granting + or - 50% charisma with other guitarists, depending on if they're poor or not.

>>127513578
A strat plays like you're a sultan of swing, but a les paul plays like you get your money for nothin' and your chicks for free

I love my taylor 12e, concert bodies are neat

>>127513578
Les Paul
>heavy
>feels like it's going to slide off your lap
>very resonant (a good one)
Strat
>very comfy (all of them)
>volume knob is in the way
>resonant (a good one)

The older I am the more I appreciate smaller and lighter guitars

>>127513749
>feels like it's going to slide off your lap
Also it sits lower on your body so youre constantly hunching over

>>127509511
what part of bending over makes it country?

Damn, I didn't know Tim Henson was that cute

Fender owners confirmed for never playing outside of their bedrooms

>>127514518
thats not very nice of you to say

>>127514518
Now why would you say that? Whats so funny about that? Its ridiculous. Do you like making less of people? You like doing mean things to people? Don't run away. Thats incredibly rude, we're here having a good thread and you go out and say something really nasty. You're a jerk.

What gives you the most dopamine?

>>127514646
Typing, "_____ owner post" and walking away.

>>127514518
Even if you only ever play standing up strats still have way better balance than LPs lmao

>>127507208
Are you using the “instrument” button on your focusrite? 0db
gain is full volume. You should not be going into positive gain unless you’re playing an EXTREMELY low output pickup. Think of 0db as neutral, you’re not removing any gain or adding any. I record my Duncan distortions with the input gain on my audio interface at 0db (all the way down) and then usually have to lower the input and output gain in my amp sim another 3-4db depending on the preset and pedals / drive I have on that preset. My pickups are very high output. Don’t just look at your input signal during the softer parts either, you want to be able to play the loudest parts of your recording (hard strumming for example) and without it clipping into the red. If it’s clipping into the red then your gain is too high. I wouldn’t worry about the volume of your track itself at this point, that has more to do with mixing volume for things like your final master.

>>127507256
Unless you’re a studio musician, suhrs are the biggest wanker guitar you could get. I wouldn’t be caught dead playing one live. Nothing says “I’m a wanker who thinks he’s better than everyone else” than an ugly ass donkey dick headstock 5000 dollar suhr. It’s not going to do anything better than a fender telecaster. If you want different pickups buy them for your tele. If you want to look like a jagoff buy the suhr.

>>127514978
And any of this changes if you're a studio musician?

>>127507256
Also I forgot to mention that if you do play live normies will just assume your suhr is a budget Chinese copy of a fender like an epiphone. The only people who will know what a suhr is are other wanker guitarists who watch too many tom bukovac videos. It’s a lose / lose. And the fact of the matter is they’re just hot rodded fenders. Hot rod your own fender.

>>127515000
normies don't know what a strat or a tele is let alone the fucking headstock, only snobs do and they'd probably know what a suhr is

>>127514994
As long as you aren’t flaunting it around like a wanker and you buy it solely because it’s the best tool for the job. Recording on other people’s music requires more precision and more versatility. If you’re just an every day joe there’s no reason to buy a wank fest guitar. Also nobody can see the gay ass headstock. I’m just not a fan of boutique instruments or the jagoffs like Rhett shill who play them.

>>127515008
Normies absolutely know what a fender or Gibson is lol.

>>127515047
>made new thread
>spelling error
Yeah i wanna kill myself

>>127515008
Every time I see a suhr I think of that fuckass Ben Eller and his smug punchable face sitting there with his collection of suhrs telling me how I’m playing a song the wrong way and begging me to join his wankfest club. I can’t stand that guy, and he’s a shitty guitarist too.

normies vaguely recognize a fender/gibson
They know the base shape.
They absolutely don't know any details of their look. They know the logo.

Put the label on a vague strat/lp copy from another brand and most would not be able to tell

finally. last post.
