I just have a super-duper shitty profile, and a super-duper shitty Traynor amp
I got these for starting out, but now I'm alot better, so time to move on to better things (When I get money...)

Getting a Fender Statocaster this summer, though, not sure which Amp I'm getting but it'll probably be my friends huge ass one, not sure which kind, but it's huge.

some washburn strat thing.
Blues overdrive pedal
digitech grunge pedal
laney valve amp (yeah baby!)

dont use the wah very often. and i can have blues overdrive, grunge overdrive or UBAR GRUNGE AND BLUES!!!! ROFL!!! which is like uber distortion.
of course the valves overdrive is also tha SHIZZ. but i cant be bothered to get a switch pedal for my amp. as my exploded PC needs repaireringanated
setupwise everythings sound except my guitar thats a bit of a low ender. but better than most other begginners guitars. (its single coils are shite, but has a nice double coil) whereas most begginers guitars usually come with cheapass single coils. the thing is my guitars not shit enough to warrant getting a sweetass les paul. which is a shame.

I have two guitars, effectively: a Squier Affinity Series Stratocaster and an Epiphone SG-Special. The SG is a significantly nicer guitar for the money, but I use both. I have a Boss DS-1 pedal, which I use occasionally, but it doesn't sound that good on my amp, so I usually skip it. Then I have a Fender Frontman 15G amp behind all that.

Obviously this is not ideal, but it's all I've got. I do plan to upgrade within the next couple of years.

digitech grunge pedal


Those digitech pedals sure do suck down batteries though. They're gone in like 4 hours of use. And it uses battery life to even have it plugged into any of the jacks. Thats the only thing I hate about them.

Thats the only thing I hate about them.I don't like Digitech pedals much. They sound far too cold and digital for my liking. Boss has them beat, although they're sometimes a bit more expensive. I'd kill for a Boss pedal board. :|

I have an acoustic guitar with a vocal mike jammed into the resonator hole, with the mic attached to a $15 chorus pedal, and that pedal is attached to a tiny $50 amp.

Ya I was at the guitar shop near my house and I was checking out the boss pedals. But I could get 2 digitech pedals for a lot cheaper than buying the boss ones. My next pedal is going to be a boss for sure.

When playing bass, I barely use my amp, but I use an OLP Stingray 5-string through a Peavey micro.

When playing guitar, I use a Fender Telecaster and a Fender Highway Strat + Marshall 30 amp + GFX-707 pedal.

they sound THE SHIZZ tho. dont sound good for grunge tho :D mine lasts like a month or so. just keep it unplugged when you're not using it.

yeah, i went to the store tried em all out. they all sounded.. wrong? The grunge pedal is analogue distortion though. which is why it sounds real nice. i didnt know this til after i bought it though but now i know.

Bah, I haven't played guitar in years. My dad, however, has the sweetest bass collection/setup in history...

Eight basses at last count (including 2 Bongo Basses and his prize, a '61 Fender Jazz Bass) and a good $15,000 worth of amps and other equipment. Plus a computed dedicated entirely to recording and mixing, with 2 keyboards.

It's kind of his thing :D

How are the Gothic line of Gibson guitars? Is there any difference to the normal model save the black matte finish and inlays?

Go with a flanger.

Zeus
19-06-2006, 05:30 AM
Yea I was thinking about that last time, a Boss Flanger, I have 2 digitech pedals there great but I think boss sounds a little better (of course its more expensive as well).

Also I think the strings are wayyyyyy overdue for a change. (its been 3 years)

I was actually being sarcastic when I said to get the flanger. They're cool, but they don't really have all that much musical value outside of interesting effects. Whatever floats your boat, though.

I'm pretty sure I tried out both of those yesterday. They felt alright, and I was surprised at the build quality (most Ibanez guitars I've used felt really shitty and cheap), but the sound just seemed really bland and generic. The Epiphone Explorer I picked up, which cost much less, looked and felt better, and had a much higher awesome factor, sounded way better than either of them. That said, the two Ibanez guitars both seem like decent instruments, just not something I'd want to get. Go for the single coil/humbucker/tremelo one if you want something a little bit more versatile, with the dual-humbucker if you're into harder stuff.
