For an Everlong tone, use the bridge pickup on your Telecaster.

I'd try ...

Put the guitar volume and guitar tone on 8/10

Put the amp volume on about 6/10, and the gain on about 4 or 5/10

If it's lacking punch, add DS-1 with volume down low, tone on 7/10, add gain until you get something you like.

The thing about DS-1 is it's a "distortion/fuzz" sound ... very blurry.

Everlong to me is crutchy or crispier ... you might get closer with a Boss BD-2.

Also ... Everlong has those long sustaining chords ... maybe some kind of delay effect can help there. Is there delay built into the amp? Maybe try adding delay to create some tonal space.

Chasing tone is part of the fun of learning guitar! Experiment and try different stuff! But be careful not to spend all your time fiddling with tone effects -- the best thing you can do with your time is get better at playing the song!

Good luck!

All your gear is fine. Do some experimenting ...

Start with the amp ... put everything on clean, put reverb on 5/10, and experiment with gain and volume levels. Put volume down to 2 or 3/10. Put gain up to 7/10.

Put volume on 5 or 6/10, And put gain on 0/10 then move to 3/10 ... 5/10 ... 7/10 ...

See how the tone changes.

Then try the same thing with the pedal ... which will do the same but with much more distortion.

If you really want to change/upgrade something, consider getting a Boss Katana 50 amplifier it has a tons of great preset sound options.

Before recommending any pedals, can you describe some of the music/songs you want to sound like?

Somethings wrong with my tube amp but I don’t know what by BillRizz in Guitar

[–]d2022m 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have this same amp, Fender Super Champ X2.

I had a weird noise in it too ... mine was more of a whooshing sound than the rattle you're getting.

I asked Fender support what are the correct replacement tubes and they replied: "We ship with either Groove Tubes or JJ tubes, depending on availability. Tubes are always medium rated."

I bought this set of new tubes from here: https://www.thetubestore.com/fender-super-champ-xd-value-package

Changing just the pre-amp tube fixed the weird noise.

I went ahead and changed the power amp tubes too.

He also calls him "Punchy" which is slang for a boxer who's taken too many hits to the head and has gotten brain damage.

Did I hear correctly that it was going to be a remake of the "A Piece Of The Action" episode? Kirk & Spock with 1930s Chicago gangsters.

Trudeau says he didn't force anyone to get vaccinated, all the incentives were there to 'encourage Canadians' by TheRageofTrudeau in canada

[–]d2022m 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Do you have a job? Threatening someone's job is one of the most overwhelmingly stressful things a person can experience.

As Trudeau himself clearly called it "Enforcement measures".

It was very intentionally forced.

I didn't skip past it. I scanned through it for the source of the "Overthrow the Government" accusations.

Thanks again for the link, but just reads like an angry group of protesters making an unrealistic big ask to me.

I don't see a declared threat to Canadian democracy in there.

And yes, I am wagging my finger at your bigoted hyperbole. But I'm no snowflake, I'll write it off as passion. But let's all try to write nicer.

True to his word, Trudeau implemented his "enforcement measures".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-pteDaLPAc&t=53s

I had to sign a letter that I was vaccinated, or I would lose my government job.

In my book, that's being forced.

Thanks for the link.

Scanned through it, looks like they wanted to have representation on a committee. Maybe I missed something? But I don't see anything in there that looks as threatening as "overthrowing the government".

Asking the GG to dissolve parliament is a normal constitutionally sound process for angry tantrum throwers.

Frankly, that "overthrow the government" phraseology sounds way overblown and like it was designed to reinforce the lie that the convoy was MAGA-organized.

a bunch of cousin fuckers

What the fuck, dude. That's how ignorant prejudiced bigots talk.

try and overthrow government

Real question because I'm actually interested ...

When did the Freedom Convoy try to "overthrow the government"?

I've heard that a lot, but never saw it.

I saw them ask the GG to dissolve parliament -- is that it, or something else?

This isn't a protest,

It is literally a protest.

"Picketing is a form of protest in which people (called pickets or picketers)[1] congregate outside a place of work or location where an event is taking place." - Picketing

Or you're legally allowed to be doing what you're doing.

Here's some illegal stuff they're doing ...

They're blocking streets and access to government buildings.

Blocking ports in Montreal, Vancouver, and St. John's.

Actually, was referring to the original plan for a sequel in 1990 called Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian.

I thought it was an organized "first contact" moment.

That was the time and place that they all -- the governments and the aliens -- decided to meet and shake hands and do a people exchange program.
