I’m not very knowledgeable about pedals, but what pedals do I need to make my electric wood slab sound like Hybrid Theory/Meteoria?
I’m more specifically looking for the guitar sound in their song “Lost”

What's up strin/gg/ods?

lmao

>>127525077 (OP)
why do people buy multiple guitars thinking it will make them better at the instrument?

>>127525933
>sound guys hate them
Sound guys are always either miserable assholes, or extremely incompetent. Often both.
And the sound guy that can't get basic micing done will probably fuck up a straight-into-PA setup as well.

>>127526356
Ikr I only own 1 electric and 1 acoustic and totally has nothing to do with me being po- i mean frugal. Imagine owning a hollow guitar and can't even play jazz with it baka.

I don't have amps with fx loop and I plug my pedals into an interface using a clean up vst and high gain pedal for dirty. Can I use a reverb pedal normally at the end of the chain or will it sound the same as if it would if I was using a dirty amp?

>>127526356
yeah have you tried it though? maybe having a couple more will make you less bitter

>>127526356
Different tunings, different features, different sounds, different feels, sometimes picking up something different inspires you to play differently. Plus some people have this thing called a “job” and it gives them this thing called “money” and then- get this- they use that “money” they’ve earned to buy things that they like.

>electric with singlecoils
>electric with humbuckers
>an acoustic
>a bass
>some might want a classical guitar as well
That's already 5 and they barely cover basic needs

>>127526356
I play in E standard, C standard, and open D. It's also nice having backups when playing live and honestly some guitars just inspire me to play one way vs another. Having options is a good thing and can spark creativity.

>>127526528
>>127526581
> some guitars just inspire me to play one way vs another
what do you mean? like different genres of music?

>>127525933
>They're heavy
A head and 212 isn't any heavier than a modeler and powered PA monitor. Same space requirements as well
>need regular maintenance
Keeping a spare set of tubes and fuses in a guitar case is common practice, much like keeping a first aid kit in your vehicle. Recap's are a preventive measure and largely unnecessary if the amp was built this century, as electrolytic caps can last for decades.
>sound guys hate them
Sound guys hate 100w stacks in small venues because they overpower the PA, but they mainly hate musicians that can't follow instructions and meet in the middle for stage noise. Even twin reverbs can be too much for some clubs but attenuators are dirt cheap making this a non issue.

>>127526656
Different genres as well as different approaches to the same genre. Some of my guitars make me want to sit down and play jazz or blues, neoclassical shreddy stuff, chuggy thrash riffs, ambient shoegaze stuff, etc. It's like owning a 3/4 ton pickup, a civic, and a motorcycle. They're all best suited for different applications.

>>127526356
Have you ever encountered someone actually saying that, or are you just assuming/projecting?
That being said: buying more guitars does indeed make me better at the instrument.

This is a cool box

If anything that anon is too positive. I haven't encountered a single competent sound guy.
Whole reason we built our own portable in-ear rig and made everything as plug and play and possible.
Sounds more like you're the one who doesn't gig, desu
There is a reason larger bands tend to tour with their own mixing engineers even for prestigious all inclusive venues.

Terrible advice desu senpai. Pedals are outdated boomertech, just find a decent modelling amp

For the potential D-18 Modern Deluxe anon: You don't need any more bling than this. I put abalone pins to match the fretboard, but that's it.

>>127527066
>the year is 1999 and pedals are officially obsolete!

how's your sitting posture when playing? my lower back hurts because im slouching and turning slightly towards the left where the fretboard is

>>127527066
It has nothing to do with boomers or zoomers. But options and being able to mix and match these tons of options. There are many variations among effects. Even the same brand of drives and choruses but were made in different editions can be noticeably different. And reverb is a whole world unto itself. You're trying to capture a sense of "space" with reverb. There's no default sound for "space" that you can conveniently put in an all in one box or method. Being able to slot things in when you want is a good thing. Always being tied to the same sounds decided for you, and are exactly like more and more players is not a good thing.

>>127527115
I play in the classical position and sit upright

>>127527277
Hollywood and media combined with a lack of pressure to adapt as compared to cars. Cars did not change mainly for stylistic reasons, but for aerodynamics, safety, fuel efficiency etc.
An industry that is scared of risk and will avoid it at any cost and leaves little room for new companies.
Due to globalization, development and mid to large scale manufacturing in the west is something only very big (offset by selling large amounts of cheaper production), or very small manufacturers (custom builds for individuals) can do.

In short: inertia.

>>127527277
Consuming new shiny thing isn't artistic innovation.

>>127527372
Neither is aping people of the past

>>127527249
neat, i'm guessing its a powered preamp for the bass/mid/treb, the only other thing it could use is maybe push/pull on each of them to narrow the q of the frequencies, or maybe a dedicated q knob

>>127527372
>Consuming new shiny thing
Funny how these words perfectly describe guitarists

>>127527384
You don't ape anyone. But certain ideas and sounds are achievable and solved already. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel.
If you think there's another entirely different type of road to travel and it needs new wheels, more power to you. But this just goes back to what I already said: it's faggy. I don't know of any entirely new type of roads. Like the music equivalent of hover cars or some shit.

>>127527429
don't have to ape anyone*

>>127527408
I only have two guitars.

>>127527384
I don't know what that means

>>127527429
tbf guitar bridges for example are a thing that leaves a lot of room for improvement in general from an engineering perspective

>>127527388
well you see Rick, it's important to use a drill to route for new pickups cavities. This helps the luthier really feel the wood.

>>127527492
Then the addition of tone poplar chunks will help grip the new control plate and season the tone with a hint of brightness.

too much bling
if an acoustic is too nice to take camping or to the beach, what's the point?

I am thinking of buying a REVV G4 pedal. The youtube reviews make it sound great, but it seems they are all playing on tube amps. I only have a VOX AD VT 50 amp, which isn't a tube amp.

I am actually surprised at how good the hotone ampero sounds. Bought a mini new for 150 dollars at a sale with the intent to use it for practice and travel, but I really like the thing now against my expectations.
Really glad I didn't get the hx stomp. I did try it, wouldn't be able to tell whether it is actually better from memory.
I'm sure it is, but no way is it "4 times the price" better.

>>127525307
Anon, I had a question- what’s the point of compression?

>>127528459
In layman's terms it levels out frequencies

>>127525077 (OP)
ah that reverse headstock strat is nice

>>127527954
That's called a beater. No acoustic is good for the beach except laminated ones. And they sound like shit. They're good just for that purpose of taking outside. Any solid wood is susceptible to drastic changes. That's not "bling". That's just nature. If you're going to half ass it with a cheap partly wood guitar, you're not making much difference. You'll have spent more money than a beater and barely benefited from it. Just burning money. Save your money and go full beater for outdoor stuff and get a good guitar for anything else. That'll last a lifetime (or more) if you take care of it and it'll keep sounding better as the wood ages.

I'm taking the exploder to practice today for the first time. I regret not installing strap locks first even though I have at least 3 spare sets in my parts bin. Fingers crossed that it doesn't get concrete relic'd

>>127528616

>>127528542
Ok, so why do I need a delay?
And wouldn’t I need a good distortion?

>>127529023
Idk im not the anon that made those suggestions

>>127528932
You act like wifebeating is a bad thing.

Is it just me, or are strats fucking gay and overrated guitar ever? The irony with this guitar is that it was originally designed as more "ergonomic" alternative to the telecaster, but they play like total shit. Middle pickups seems to always be in the way of picking/strumming, and the slanted pickup selector switch eventually just gets unintentionally hit. On top of this, they just sound relatively weak or anemic, with pickup positions 2 and 4 sounding extremely corny with the signature "quack" sound. Despite the more basic design, telecasters just play better and have a more direct, punchy tone. Nobody needs 5 different pickup positions. The telecaster and ES-335 are universally recognized as the most versatile guitars of all time and both of them only have 3 pickup positions. You have a massive range of tone to choose from with the more minimal design. The only setup in which a strat sounds relatively tolerable to me is if you're cranking it through a british voiced amp on the middle or neck pickup. Because they naturally have a weak/anemic sound, it seems obvious you need to balance it with a beefier sounding amp.

>>127529211
> gay/bad
no
> highly overrated
yes

>>127529211
SSH super strats took a good thing and brought it into the modern era

>>127529211
>but they play like total shit.
If you find yourself thinking that, then you need to jog your memory of all that's been pulled off with them. It's kind of humbling.

>>127529252
It still doesn't change the fact that they have the unnecessary 3 pickups that get in the way of playing and have the gay ass out of phase sound on positions 2 and 4, and the shitty placement of the pickup selector switch

>>127529211
Strats are cool and decent tools. I like my Strat.
But yeah calling them super versatile is just retarded parroting of what musicians said decades ago when Strats actually were the most versatile guitars due to lack of options/alternatives.
They are not nearly as versatile as modern HSS or HSH guitars with or without splittable humbuckers.
And even if Strats are very good, most mythical sound characteristics attributed to them are just snakeoil justifications for the "muh Strat is peak" mindrot.

>>127529292
Plenty has been done with those phased positions. Whether it's Clapton or tons of funk guys.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's useless. It's been used plenty. It just isn't your style. If your mind is just set on one tone, then just go with that. Blackmore stripped his middle pickups (or has a dummy, I think), but just blasted it through Marshalls mostly with a hot single coil bridge..

>>127529211
the best thing about strat is weight and inside shape is good too
for me the worst is that knob that is too close to the pickups

>>127529339
Splittable humbuckers sound like shit. I'm starting to think many hate the single coil bridge sound because they're just playing dogshit like that. Then telling themselves it's just like a Strat. It's not. Not all of them at least.

>>127529339
Yes pretty much. They are so overrated because of Hendrix, Clapton and John Mayer. I think within certain applications or particular genres they can sound appropriate such as various indie stuff where the guitar tracking is more subtle, but within most examples or applications a different guitar would sound infinitely better than a strat. I think this is particularly true for blues-oriented music or other genres that have a very overt and blatant lead guitar. If you take a blues guitarist and have him play the same song with a full band using a strat and then had him play the same song using a LP or 335, the strat would sound fucking pathetic and gay in comparison. It lacks the fullness and punch that you get with a tele, 335 and LP

>>127529211
>but they play like total shit. Middle pickups seems to always be in the way of picking/strumming, and the slanted pickup selector switch eventually just gets unintentionally hit.
It'd be one thing if you complained about the volume knob, but hitting the pickups suggests very poor technique

>>127529455
It doesn't detract from the fact that they sound weak and gay

>>127529422
I think a good example are Jazz/Fusion players, who seem to be way less narrowminded on which guitars they want to use so you just find a lot of very different types of guitars being used there by great guitarists.
Doesn't mean strat bad, but thinking they inherently offer something tangible others can't is dumb.
Rock/Blues guitarists seem very focused on attempting to explain their stylistic preference (which there is nothing wrong with) by constantly making stuff up too look more objective.

>>127529468
Instead of writing them off maybe learn how to play them first
Or just mod it.

>>127529422
>Yes pretty much. They are so overrated because of Hendrix, Clapton and John Mayer.
People listen to all kinds of things. They have all kinds of influences that might've played a Strat. They don't just all listen to Clapton/Hendrix/Mayer or rate Strats highly because of that. It's not like thousands of players are all regurgitating "Guitar World' lists or something. Maybe it's Tom Veraline or Richard Lloyd, maybe it's Dick Dale, maybe maybe it's the Edge, maybe it's Richard Thompson. Or maybe it's you. I don't know. You don't have to pick up a Strat and say it'll only be good if you do Hendrix. It'd be better if you didn't.

>>127529614
Also, special mention to Billy. No one puts him on Strat lists. A fuzz will take you far.

pro tip:jelq before you practice

>>127530517
Never fall for the "vintage or hot" memes. A hot pickup that goes up to 15 can always be turned down to 10, a vintage one that goes to 10 can't go up to 15. With that in mind, Red in the bridge.

>>127530609
Hot p/us also sit lower in the body, which is more aesthetic and cooler than a guitar with derpy high p/us.

Was just playing my red Mustang, on the fence about selling it. It needs a new nut and the plastic knobs on the tuners are cracking to the point that knob for the the low E string will occasionally just turn freely around the post. New Gotoh tuners are like $50 and a semi local shop charges $250 for a new bone nut to be cut and the guitar re set up but still, that’s $300 put into one of two Mustangs and I like the other one better

the retards that buy the same Gibson LP or Fender Strat because they were built during different decades or shit are actually retarded.
But in a world where you have Single Coils, P90s, Humbuckers, Neck/Bridge Pickups, Sevenstrings, passive/active electronics and all kinds of body/neck shapes that can impact your playing style etc. you can totally get some big variety from owning multiple instruments.

Laugh at someone like Bonamazza who owns 80 same versions of the same LP goldtop, but an Ibanez shred machine with active humbuckers will absolutely make you play different than a Gibson SG.
Don't even get me started on basses, these have even more variety and functionality based on different specs.

>>127533699
ebony rods in the neck is an old hold over from acoustics guitars of the mid to early 1900s. absolutely fucking stupid idea when graphite or carbon fiber is more stable and lighter

>strat with single coils
>strat with humbucker on bridge
>electric with two humbuckers
>nylon acoustic
>nylon electric (when I don't feel like micing up the acoustic or for on the road where a DI suffices)
>acoustic with steel strings for strumming
>2 P-basses (one backup for gigs)
>J-bass
>5 string bass with flats for jazzy/oldie shiet and r&b
>six string bass in standard tuning for chordal stuff and jazz
>six string bass in Karnivool tuning (my favorite band so I have a dedicated bass just to play their stuff)

I can justify just about any instrument and think I got pretty much all covered when it comes to choices and sounds, the only thing I bought out of vanity was the second six string because I play so much Karnivool and didn't want to re-tune so much, plus bass strings are expensive as hell and wear out quicker than guitar strings if you change tunings often.

>>127533710
no rods, nothing, just a piece of wood that Paul claims is hard enough to hold tune and toan in a superior fashion than anything else (that'll be $16k plus tip) since it's as pure as it can get without any fancy shmancy shit clanking around inside of the neck.

>>127527277
best sellers and money makers are the slop from overseas and import stuff, do you think Fender would still be in business if they did not have Squier money holding them up? Same with just about any manufacturer that's older than a couple decades.
Cars have to innovate and get quicker, guitars just need to be affordable enough for the average retard so that the flagship models that actually made the brand can still exist and persist to manipulate the masses into buying their image.

I would compare the guitar market with the vintage car market rather than the normal automotive industry, that's apples and oranges.

>>127533807
>>127533818
lol that's horrible. i'd really like an authentic d28 replica but they use the steel t bar and hide glue construction. they also say it's for the toan but i mean it is legitimately authentic. while the steel t bars hold for a long time if the neck isn't perfect when it leaves the factory you have no room to correct for errors and even then, half of them fail eventually. also hide glue delaminates really badly compared to modern pva glue and it's debatable whether it's easier to repair or not. i cant think of a justification for paying $5000 extra for a guitar thats going to require more repairs and upkeep for subjective tonal differences. just pure absurdity

countries that aren't the USA that make good electric guitars:

>>127534035

>>127528459
the other description wasn't great.
a compressor reduces the dynamic range.
in dumb terms, instead of your volume being between 1-10 it will make it 3-7 or whatever range you need it to be. lowers the loudest parts and raises the quiet parts

>>127534718
what the fuck are you on?
Rickenbacker has nothing to do with warwick, besides Dickenkackers are US-made, you're off by like 7000 miles if you confuse them with Framus/Warwick lmao.

That Rick looks super good.

>>127528459
you ever notice how a guitar on a record sounds perfectly balanced, the treble strings aren't quiter than the bass strings even when the player is strumming them all together, as if he was making a micro movement to touch the bass strings less hard and the treble with more force so that they all resonate at the same volume level? Meanwhile in real life if you strum all the strings you can clearly hear some strings absolutely overwhelm the rest.

That is compression, basically it sets all sound to the level you set up so that whatever you touch, be it quiter or louder, will be at a pretty compareable level instead of all over the place. That's what boomers mean when they hate on compression because of MUH DYNAMIX GET LOST

>>127534653
>middle of the roads in your path
Meh

>>127534718
Ricks sound incredible and very distinctive. You can pick them out of a mix with ease.

Berklee is too powerful

>>127534779
yeah except compression doesn't work like that, it can't pick out individual strings only compresses the entire signal so your weak strings will still sound weak in the full chord

>>127534986
you can compress the shit out of the overpowering strings and make the whole thing sound unified, what the fuck. literally how compression works.
Or you could just cut those out with EQ but I don't expect most anons to know how to even figure out what frequencies to cut, so just crank the comp.

>>127534995
>art deco is steampunk
You're an idiot.

>>127535037
>>127535028
>t.

nice try XD

>>127535035
that's literally not how compression works, your example works for playing melodic lines or maybe arpeggios, but once you're strumming a full chord and every string mixes together, the only thing a compressor can do is just make every string proportionally louder (or quieter)

>>127535124
you would figure out 'quiet strings' in advance and adjust your pickup height or whatever. any guitarist going into a studio environment would have worked out this stuff in advance while they were rehearsing for the studio session

>>127535186

no shit you'd need fix your guitar if it worked like ass, sherlock

guys please stop fighting. you're tearing this family apart

i love going to shows and seeing giant pedalboards with enough lights to be seen from space. i know im in for 16 minutes of deafening white noise + kick and snare as everything just gets lost in the mix. these dudes should just sell it all and start a drone band it would sound identical

which guitars work best if i try spinning, that's a neat trick

>>127535279
when i see folks complaining about "too fast no sovl" i always think of MAB as the poster boy for that sort of playing

he probably got tired of hanging out with a bunch of washed up smackheads.
left his mark though, every other guitar part on chinese democracy is "play it like bucket would have"

they probably just play it 5 or 10 bpm slower live.
it's always interesting to see people's opinion on the live vs album process.
i always think of the recorded version as the 'ideal' version of the song, you use whatever tools you can to make it sound as good as possible. then when you go to play live, you play 'a version' of the same parts. It's like complaining that bands with one guitarist double-tracking their guitars. of course it won't be the same live, it's just a 'live' version of the song

What would you borrow from his board if you could? For me, it's the Chroma Console.

Do musical note tones carry over to different instruments?
Like will a B on guitar sound similar to a B on piano?

>>127535489
the same pitch-wise yeah, the string is vibrating the same number of times a second

>>127535475

>>127535530
yeah i was gonna say, the family connections would be my pick

>>127535489
technically speaking guitar sheets are written an octave above the actual pitch, so a B3 on guitar would be B2 on a piano

>>127535530

>>127535475
I dunno man, I just plug my guitar straight into my bandmaster

>>127535474
>It's like complaining that bands with one guitarist double-tracking their guitars
Im cool with this except for with solos. Let that shit drop out, it pushes the leads up to the front naturally. Thats something Pantera did really well

>>127535475
idk i play guitar not pedals

>>127535555
i get the complaint from my singer pretty often "but how are you going to do that live" and i always figure im just not going to. we're already recording digitally, editing things, etc. why would i leave out layers of guitar if they sound cool. same way that he can't sing 3 or 4 harmonies live, you just pick one of the harmony lines and have someone else sing it

>>127535530

>something Pantera did really well
everybody licks Dime's asshole to heaven and back but Rex is probably the most well-used bassist in metal because of how masterfully he managed to keep everything heavy yet musical while Dime went on his endless solo spergouts, yet he also perfectly held back when it was appropriate. It's really fucking rare to find such a great musician on an instrument that dwells in the background for the most part, dude could also shred when he had to double Dime's lines like on Revolution is my name, just a brilliant fucking guy all around.

The bandmaster was apparently Eddie's real brown sound. He wrote all of his early tunes on one. He was pulling everyone's chain about the Marshalls and Variacs and studio jewish tricks.
Then he made up something about what "brown" meant. I bet he just meant it was a brownface.

>>127535573
yeah layering guitars is like the first trick in production 101, everybody and their mothers do it unless they're specifically trying to sound ghetto

Dealing with the higher strings is hard on the fingertips

>>127535631
>specifically trying to sound ghetto
Probably better.
All this polishing and even more fancy gear that we've ever had hasn't transferred to anything that actually sticks with people. It's all dogshit that's no better than actual ghetto music.

Neat

garage rock has it's place as do professionally mastered tracks. we need both actually.

>>127535677
I didn't say lo-fi. Just real and organic and working with much less. At least up until the 70s even with the biggest bands. And sometimes often beyond that with smaller bands like punks/postpunk/some metal etc..
In any case, the proof is in the pudding. Nobody is listening. Try something else. Whatever effort and thought and money that people are putting in to all of these minute production details aren't paying off to a lot of audiences listening to it.

> all that gear
> all those Pedals
> on the recording everyone still just uses a 5150

>>127535399
You'll need to motorize it. There are a few techniques that will affect your outcomes on top of the basic construction of the magnet and poles.

It looks like too much work when great pickups are capped at 100-200 and there are a number of smaller name makers or even chinese pickups that perform well for much less. Winding your own power and output transformers would be a much more admirable goal.

>>127535729
Always strive to be better, making excuses is a loser's business, layering guitars doesn't cost anyone any money, just some extra effort. I'd rather have a shitty song with decent production than a shit song with shit production

Serenity and peace serves the foundation of creativity. In music or any other creative endeavor. I suggest you practice your tremolo picking for 30 minutes before retiring to your personal chambers for an early night. For fate may call upon you next morn. And ye be able to focus thine marrow in the time of reckoning. Doth they lethargically exhale ones breath from their own chest... So it seems. So it seems...

>>127535744
The hum canceling is confusing. There's always a bit of "it just works" after reviewing how hbs are wired and function.

Whenever I practice a new song I feel like there's always that's 3-4 days period that I get the closest and sound the best, then if I keep practicing further I just sound bored and make more mistakes
