Gain-based effects like EQ, compression, and distortion should NEVER go through an effects loop. Effects loops are for time-based effects like Flange, Delay, Reverb, and Chorus. Put those effects in front of the amp. I've heard people say the exact opposite of what you just said. :shock: Now I'm to...

Re: A few questions.
Two guitarists. One has a Randall head and Marshall cab and the other has a Marshall head (I think) and cab. Not sure how many watts they put out but I know one of them wants to get a Triple Rectifier. My amp puts out 400 watts. A lot of my bass gets lost in the bass drums also. I guess I never rea...

That's the most fucked up shit ever. I would never steal other people's gear. That's one of the lamest things you can do to another musician :tdown: Agreed, this is so gay, sorry to hear. Always keep guitar closed in a case with number code, that's what my plan is. It turned up, someone chucked it ...

Re: A few questions.
How are Schecter guitars/basses? I've been looking into them and they appear well made and have a lot of good reviews. I've always shyed away from them since they were usually endorsed by people that weren't very talent inclined. talking about guitars, they fucking own. And are "damn cheap&quo...

Only one t in pity... This one seems to be flawless, it was made in 1999 and has been sitting in the store for 6 years, the only reason it caught my eye was because it was natural finish. Most are sunburst, tobacco burst, black or antique white. I owned a Nikki Blackbird for awhile and as Pfloyd sa...

I just have a thing for US made guitars. Far superior to Chinese/Jap/Korean/Mex crap. Not that I'm bragging (or complaining) but I have been around for a while and Fender/Gibson (US) are the real deal. A pitty USA Gibson come with factory mistakes not too seldom, at least here. Actually my V had. A...

Practise 38 hours a day. In order to do that, I have to play 400 notes per second to go back in time. But I stopped it, because the ageing process went faster and I killed people. :lol: and anyway, yeah, dexterity exercises are the way to go. I'm amazed how much better I've become just by doing the...

I can tell you the experience and opinion of our bassist: He told himself he wants to play bass. Backing vocals will come soon, when he get's himself a Shure mic. Influences: Cliff burton, Steve Harris, Rob Trujillo, Fieldy, the megadeth guy are the most important ones. No, he is in the school band ...

It's at a 21 and over bar though, and we're underage. If I was going on tour, I wouldn't want to play at a 21 and over place. Wouldn't that limit a lot of potential tickets sold? Yeah especially if it's not a big town or so. And actually I wouldn't like the feeling of pissing off a lot of teen aged...

If you can palm mute accurately then your sorted, you need to learn some good left hand muting for some sweeps and the odd bit of rhythm too though. Well mainly in lead playing you gotta mute all the unused strings, which can be quite challenging if you are new to this. you mean you mute with your ...

In saying that the true measure of a guitarist is how he sounds when he's out of his safe enviroment.

i know about this much |-| about pickups. Well Active Pick ups (EMG) do add a lot of extra gain somehow to the sound and that's what makes EMG sound nearly exactly the same in no matter what guitar you put them. Whereas passive pick ups (Duncans, Di Marzio, Gibsons) work different. They don't sound...

Thing is I wouldnt be surprised if theres pieces of Dimes gear that people still dont know about, one item is that elusive thing in his rack that looks like a mesa preamp but its too hard to tell.

another thing, alot of people complain about the Dimebucker because it isnt Darrells tone in a bag, but from my experience if you dont use it to set out for his tone, and instead use it for your own, you have alot of options. I can get a real good twangy blues tone from it when i hit my coil tap an...

Also, you really do notice the difference in custom wound passive pickups, because each one sounds slightly different. For example my friends EVH Duncan sounds slightly different in his red ltd to his black ltd, both the same guitar. What pickups you hooked up with Dan? I have a Dimbucker in the br...

I'm a huge fan of the Dimarzio X2N. It has the beefy chunky rhythm, and it lets the mid ranged shit ring out clearly, and also it has a good sustain on the high notes. The Dimarzio Super Distortion is a reliable pickup. You can basically always assume it'll sound good in whatever guitar. The Duncan...
