before you get a valveking and swap the speaker, consider getting an amp with speaker that suits you.

if you flip the VOX logo vertically, it reads "ЛОХ" in russian/ukrainian language, which approximately means "sucker". that's the thing i don't like about VOX. or about russian language? i don't know :lol: btw these amPlugs are funny. sometimes i'm t...

ALSO: all the stuff i listed is FREE you can also use your real guitar amp as a preamp and get a more amp-like feel/response. loev it. thanks! i've already d/l'd your impulses just didnt have the time to check them out properly. i personally like amp simulation when it's done great. if quality simu...

IMHO not worth it. also, they give you that condom look

never was really that tempted to try them out myself, but people say they last a lot. some also claim that elixirs have the tonez.
i personally prefer d'addario's.

all my guitars hum like all fucking hell. even the humbuckers hum. ive just gotten used to playing in a 5' x 7' tiny room with a computer, a monitor, a PA, 2 amps and all sorts of other ill shit plugged into the wall all at once. if i use a mega long lead and walk out into the living room everythin...

do you find simulation greatly inferior to properly mic'ed amp?

does anybody here uses that for recording? what do you guys/gals think? i mean software emulation (guitar rig, amplitube, etc.)
i have my own opinion, but would really like to hear from you ppl

right, get the jag. smaller -> lighter -> better imho.

yesterday i disassembled my mustang once more... :lol: i rewired it a bit to make earthing star-style, CBA to replace all wires, i think i'll do it some time later.. instead of screwing ground wires to the body like people on the internetz suggest, i just solidly soldered them to bridge grounding wi...

super high gain saturated goodness of fucking fuck

straight metal sound, easy to get that stereotipical tone

thanks, gonna check it out.
at least it looks really cool.

why ? lol j/k fuck i don't know, metal is such a broad term, are you after a tight distortion or a more messy distortion etc, there's sooo many genres.. i still think for this type of distortion you're always gonna be more statisfied with a suited tube amp( what sort of metal distortion you're afte...

i tried the exact amp once at a gig and didn't like it at all. most likely it was shitty room with too much reflection, but in the end the thing sounded very muddy and thumpy whatever i did with the treble knob. also, i'm not sure how exactly it works, but it sounded like there's a built in noise ga...

when you play (if you ever do) in style that requires MEGATONS of gain, KILOBELLS of balls and whole world of EVIL etc - what do you use? i know some here are metal haters and fuzz lovers, so i feel prepared for the replies 8) i like stuffs like A Perfect Circle, Tool, Amon Amarth, Machinehead and e...

looks terrific. i think matching headstock would make it perfect, but that depends on your preferences.. anyway, i think i want OW+mint guitar now.

hmm. since i've tried high action, then i guess it's not going to choke out only on ultra-high action

also, if you don't have allen key that small, you can loosen the strings and get the bridge out. then manually turn the screws so they move out of the treading (this will raise the bridge, just like it would if you use the allen key). might need more than one try but it's worth it. off topic: if i b...

single neck on clean and single bridge on crunch. sometimes both with chorus added
but i mostly play clean, so it's the neck pickup i play mostly then.

before this shielding, when both pickups were off it was buzzing, and now it doesn't. is that good also? That means before you did the work, the grounding was broken and now it is fixed. It has nothing to do with the shielding. But yes it is good. It seems that now your guitar is functioning as it ...

okay, i did it. i put it apart and stick it with aluminium tape all over the place. :D made stitches commutate, and sealed with insulation tape. triple checked everything, checked like 30 random pairs of points for commutation and contacted pickup cavity shielding with pickguard and controls cavity ...
