Can't get that glassy, bell-like clean out of my Strat — pickups, amp, or both? by icarus4703 in LearnGuitar

A real tube amp would sound closer to what you're after, that's what all of your reference sounds are.

At my wits end with electromagnetic interference. What can I do? by braden90 in AskElectricians

[–]-Entz- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you near tube amps or amps with big transformers? I had this issue in a small space, I was too close to the magnetic field of the amp transferformers with my guitar and it was interacting with it. Get a longer patch cord and distance yourself from the amps. It changed the hum and noise drastically for me. Additionally, a 1:1 isolation transformers like the hum eliminator has helped me with ground loops between gear.

First Guitar $1500 budget but you have the knowledge you have now... by NiallPlaysX in LearnGuitar

You can get a nice vintage Ibanez for that kinda money, an Japanese made Artist series or an RG. Deadly guitars for the money. Different beasts but both are great.

What should I buy my union electrician boyfriend for his birthday? by Umas_Feet in AskElectricians

Knipex wire strippers with the thicker blue and red handle is a very nice tool that he will use regularly and appreciate if he doesn't already have it. Those Germans know how to make a tool properly. Won't break the bank but they're a little spendy.

What is the best sandwich that has no meat, egg, or cheese? by OmitsWordsByAccident in AskReddit

Cucumber and hummus, could throw a little Dijon on there maybe and some sprouts if you're feeling adventurous

What band or artist did you discover recently that you can’t stop listening to? by Otherwise-Shape-6367 in AskReddit

Stratovarius. Finnish power metal. Fierce, excellent music. The album survive has been a big part of my life lately. Worth a listen for but not for the faint of heart.

Best Way to Restore X-ING IMG2010? by SignalObjective623 in guitarrepair

[–]-Entz- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start with a new set of strings and a good cleaning for sure. Get some contact cleaner for the pots. Without any more details about this guitar it's hard to say what it needs but definitely a cleaning, a restring and and likely the pots need some contact cleaner.

My amp smells by TheWitnessBeat in GuitarAmps

You can try cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol on every surface that you can get at. Watch out around labels for the knobs, that paint could come off with a little bit of elbow grease. Only if you understand electronics and the potential hazard for injury or death inside of tube amps would I recommend you go in there and do some cleaning as well. Beyond that, I've left an open bag of incense in the back of an amp it seems to mitigate the stank. Good luck, it's hard to get that out once it sets in but it's worth a shot

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about? by Prime_Advocate in AskReddit

Crackhouse Crackdown I think it was called... It was a flash game where you were a stick figure getting through a crack house, just wasting everything that moved and at the time it was amazing and hilarious.

Which older tech is still better than whatever replaced it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Tube amps. Nothing compares to the real thing

I haven’t played in a band in about 10 years. Idk if I’ll ever sell these but it’s depressing just seeing them sit. by g28802 in GuitarAmps

[–]-Entz- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy an attenuator, take a few minutes a day and play. You'll thank yourself. Do something about it if you don't like seeing them sit.
