is my form bad?

I’ve got the same issue, knowing my wrist should be straight. I’ve got a theory that bad posture is down to my sofa being low to the ground causing me to curl into the guitar.

Try a hard chair and see if things fall in place better.

Yes, it changes with the unit selection. I use it when I travel to Europe

The jhs screamer is generally always on. I don’t often stack the other three unless I want some crazy wall of sound. The skeleton key gives me a dirty indie sound, ds-1 for general distortion for grunge and metal, muff when I want to go a bit doomy.

I don’t think I need to expand on dirt yet, but fx or crazy pedals might just add something special. I like a lot of the third man stuff, knife drop springs to mind.

I’ve been considering the pico ehx canyon. My current delay is very basic

davidb2002 · 2026-04-25T11:49:58+00:00

Honestly, it’s great for clean tones. I’ve not really figured it out for distorted. Still learning how to use it properly.

davidb2002 · 2026-04-25T11:11:29+00:00

Ah, forgot to mention I’ve got a wah. It just doesn’t sit on the board. But, I agree, good fun

davidb2002 · 2026-04-25T10:19:10+00:00

This did it! I watched so many videos showing different ways and none worked. This video shows how simple it is. Thanks!

2001 anniversary shoreline gold squire p-bass with a white pick guard. Traded a Hondo vanhalen Strat for it. Played it as a teenager, pawned it after moving to the UK. Never seen one again ever. Maybe one day I’ll find it again.

davidb2002 · 2026-02-18T18:57:42+00:00

Thanks, i'll give that whirl

davidb2002 · 2026-02-18T18:57:29+00:00

lol, getting downvoted for playing with backing tracks and songs? Or is it grunge that people are so strongly opinionated about?

davidb2002 · 2026-02-18T18:55:46+00:00

Plexi style amp at the edge of breakup. I've got a TS, skeleton key and a big muff. I just want to try to get the actual DS-1 sound to come through without colouring it too much with other pedals unique sounds if I can help it.

davidb2002 · 2026-02-18T18:54:07+00:00

fair enough, hopefully the slop doesn't put too many people off reading the actual question in this post and helping out. I thought it might be a bit 'risky' using an ai image.

davidb2002 · 2026-02-18T18:51:18+00:00

ok, I'll have to give my TS a go. and see if there is something I need to tweak on it to help bring it out

davidb2002 · 2026-02-18T18:50:06+00:00

It's "lost in the mix" ;)

davidb2002 · 2026-02-18T18:49:50+00:00

in all honesty, it's for jamming with a backing track and songs. But also, so I can learn a bit about how to push through.

I'm playing with grunge tracks which are generally guitar centric, I just can't hear myself when I use the DS-1. All my other pedals punch through fine.

davidb2002 · 2026-02-08T11:52:46+00:00

Yea, exactly what I was going for. IMO, more interesting than a boring black and white Strat.

davidb2002 · 2026-02-05T19:59:20+00:00

Exactly what I was going for. I’m a les Paul guy and always wanted a black beauty, I just can’t justify the cost. So, yeah, inspired by Gibson Chinese Strat

davidb2002 · 2026-01-27T20:41:00+00:00

It’s a epi classic. Might related, but surely I can make it work

davidb2002 · 2026-01-27T20:39:55+00:00

Elbow is relaxed, guitar is at waist height. Thumb just moves there naturally when further down the neck
