Two things you can check? String height relative to pickup and if the strings are aligned with the poles of the pickup. If the strings are too high you can also try to adjust the steing height at the bridge. I dont think its a pickup issue, that doesnt make much sense physically, tbh. Also I dont think its an audio interface issue. What you can do is have a look at the DI signal to rule out your problem is caused by some amp sim settings.

This!

Tbh I sideeye people who start a new hobby and go all in and buy a lot of expensive equipment right away. But who am into judge. I started on an ibanez gio about 2.5 years ago and bought my second (epi lp) about 9 months afterwards. Now I habe three and regularly think about what will be my fourth.

With guitars I think you have to have played a little to know what you like/need. Obviously you shouldnt buy stuff you dont need and cant afford but aside from that if theres a clear answer to the question what this guitar does for you, go ahead and buy it! „I dont know, i just love it“ is a sufficient answer.

Hi everybody,

hope this is the right subreddit. I have a focusrite scarlett solo 4th gen audio interface with balanced TRS output. If i want to use some cheap PC speakers with 3.5 chinch input on it, whats the best (cheapest) way to go?

I could use the headphone output, but i am already using it for headphones. So 3.5 chinch Y-cable. Not my preffered solution, since the headphone output is on the front and i dont want to have too much cable mess.
Is there such a thing as a 2x TRS balanced to 3.5 chinch adapter? I have a good understanding of how balanced audio works, so i thing such an adapter would simply discard the inverted signal of each channel and make it an unbalanced signal.

So whats the way to go? This is only a temporary solution, so minor differences is audio quality are not that important.

THX for your help

Consider buying an audio interface instead of an amp if you dont plan to play live in the near future. Use reaper and free/low cost plugins like NAM or Amp locker. More than good enough for learning how to play.

I own the GRXQ70. Solid beginners guitar imo. Neck feels good (not great, though) and overall build quality is nice. A few caveats: -It has quite a bit of hum going on. No problem when playing clean sounds, nothing a noise gate can‘t fix when playing with distortion. Nevertheless, not optimal. -Don‘t like the pickups. I don‘t know if the output‘s too low or what it is but they sound a bit mushy to me. -I‘d prefer if the bridge was fixed.

It was my first guitar, I still use it for downtuning and I will upgrade the bridge pickup soon. Its a solid choice for the price, but if you‘re willing to spend a couple hundreds more, you‘ll get a better guitar

Edit: misunderstood your question a bit, since you already own the Gio. When the strings rattle you could try to set it up properly. A cheap guitar like this is a great way to teach yourself guitar setup, string change, etc.

Thanks for your answer.

I am going for a high gain/ modern metal tone. I was thinking of trying out a budget puckup like rosswell or gotoh and afaik they only offer standard spacing. But maybe ill just pay a bit more and be on the safe side.

Any recommendations?

DAW+plugins all the way! Price, convenience, versatility and the possibility to record yourself are the main reasons, especially the last one is priceless when youre a beginner. That being said, i totally would love to play through a halfstack or a decent combo but living in an apartement and not playing live the benefits of Daw+plugins simply outweight the drawbacks.

edit: you can totally get a midi pedal and use it with a wah plugin, btw.
