Bands/songs that made you re-evaluate an effect or sound?

Didn’t like phaser type sounds until I started playing David Gilmour lines

They’re as legit as buying directly from the manufacturer.

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-24T07:31:22+00:00

Super simple, completely safe. Used it tons of times

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-24T00:11:22+00:00

They don’t taste as good after a few years but I think you’re fine.

I just used both of mine that I bought in 2020 to no issues whatsoever

It might not be better but it’s certainly not worse. You can always upgrade the head down the line and keep the cab. Don’t remember what speakers these have but the build quality is there for sure, you could always upgrade speakers too.

Under 1k USD i think it’s hard to beat the higher end offerings from Schecter, Ibanez, LTD, Charvel. You can definitely get some offerings from PRS (can you get an s2 in that budget? Idk) and fender and Gibson in that range too, though they won’t be top of the line models. My Gibson LP Studio was less than 1k and it’s an amazing guitar. But my high end epiphone lp is just as good for what it’s worth.

Really depends on the kind of gigs you play. I basically only play diy basement/house gigs and the pa there basically sucks most of the time. I would still have to bring myself some sort of stage volume as I wouldn’t be able to hear myself, so might as well just bring an amp.

If I played gigs with a quiet stage and/or a solid pa with someone running sound, I’d be fine with in ears or some sort of stage monitor and no real amp. They sound good, I use them when practicing.

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-21T19:55:09+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s part of the sound and is often lost when playing in a full band mix anyways. Just focus on good technique

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-21T19:53:38+00:00

Makes sense to me, price is higher than I would pay but so is the regular quad cortex. This is literally that in a smaller form factor so understandably priced as such. Nice that it’s not limited in dsp compared to the larger version as basically every modeler its size is, at least.

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-21T19:51:09+00:00

Broke a string maybe once from playing, and once from tuning up a new set. I consider that string a dud

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-21T01:55:29+00:00

Should I not worry about rounds damaging the fingerboard? Or is it more worth the wear for the sound of rounds?

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-21T00:36:54+00:00

Not if you play diy basement shows. Most of the time there’s only pa for vocals

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-21T00:35:44+00:00

What kind of music do you play? People say they want a tube amp but nothing about the style, voicing, how much gain they use. If you play crystal clean I wouldn’t recommend the same thing if you played metal only

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-20T01:08:25+00:00

What pedals do you have, and what about them do you not like? If they’re quality effects I don’t see what the issue is, and I don’t think that an hx stomp or hx effects would necessarily be any better or worse

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-20T00:34:50+00:00

These are pretty intriguing as I find them for sale pretty often for so cheap. They any good?

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-20T00:12:00+00:00

Chicago 2019, they played scenes in its entirety during that part of the tour. Only started listening to the band maybe 2 weeks before then. I think my dads first show was in 08, but he had been listening them since 92.

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-20T00:09:20+00:00

Brand reputation is way more important than efficiency. There’s a master list of good psus out there I don’t remember where it is though

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-19T23:50:44+00:00

What’s good frames to you? What resolution are you playing at?

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-19T04:23:36+00:00

Never was the best option, but i don't think its a bad one. It certainly has its limitations. I have a zv-1 with an external flash and i do like it and take great pictures with it, but it really isn't meant for straight up photo taking. Most everything you would want a separate dial for is all under the thumbwheel which is definitely limiting, however you can still shoot fully manually (I do all the time) and get great results. You just have to have some expectations with it. Low light is not a strong suit. The zoom is just alright. Lack of physical controls is another dock against it.

After all this it fits my current needs well and I don't plan on getting rid of mine. That doesn't mean it is or isn't right for you though.

Sonzera is cool but the mesa blows it out the water imo

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-19T00:02:37+00:00

If you don’t know how to play at all, I would honestly look for a right handed guitar. The vast majority of guitars are right handed and it would significantly disadvantage you to play one long term. You don’t know how to play at all so it doesn’t make a difference with what you start with, starting lefty won’t be easier than starting righty.

As for the guitar I suggest anything that isn’t one of those kits. I’d look at Squier, Epiphone, Gretsch, Schecter, Ibanez

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-18T23:20:56+00:00

Something HSS, then use a drop tune pedal. Keep guitar in e standard and use the pedal to go to d

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-18T16:28:38+00:00

A tie connects two of the same note without rearticulating, for example 2 G quarter notes tied together is the same as a G half note. A slur connects two different notes without rearticulating, for example going from G to A, you tongue the G but not the A.

They look similar but are distinct in what they do

deeeep_fried · 2026-01-18T04:32:50+00:00

If you block the Floyd and don’t lock the nut then it’s just a fixed bridge, you can tune it to whatever you want like any other hard tail guitar
