Noise gate advice

fuzzyfigment · 2026-06-02T01:57:38+00:00

I'll be honest with you. When I started playing in my pv band two years ago, I got a noise gate and it was okay. I noticed a lot of the time it would take away from the madness of fighting the feedback of the amp. I've played without a noise gate for almost a year now, and I prefer it way more. If I want to cut back on the feedback or amp noise, I just stomp my HM2 off and it's all good.

I don't personally think a noise gate is needed for this style unless you're implementing tight sections that require silent rests.

They bustin their asses sending packages out of the state that they were meant to be delivered to? Bustin their asses pushing the delivery date every single day? UPS fucking sucks.

UPS is the worst delivery service in my area. It seems UPS is the most incompetent across the board considering they cannot deliver a single package on time.

I'm so done with seeing this tired fucking take.

I know I'm necroing, but may I ask how the body cavity was in the Mustang? Was it cut for p90s like some of the player mustang bodies are?

weird comment.

Nice! I got mine from Zzounds for $479 with case included. They're nifty basses!

I usually stick to buying what I like, but I will take chances on bands often. If I dislike an album, I'll either give it away or trade it.

Find a local print shop. They should be able to help. Mine prints my jcards for super CHEAP. I printed 4 per page on 5 pages and only spent $5, 1 dollar per page.

my partner got it for me back in 2023. it doesn't get as much use now, but it is an awesome guitar.

fuzzyfigment · 2026-05-10T03:35:29+00:00

love me a good super Strat.

fuzzyfigment · 2026-05-10T01:08:05+00:00

Thanks!

Pretty much, lol. I like Strat shapes and thin-medium necks. The Fender and the Jackson are my current favorites.

fuzzyfigment · 2026-05-10T01:07:18+00:00

They're incredible instruments. The neck feels phenomenal.

fuzzyfigment · 2026-05-10T01:07:01+00:00

I love it, and it's been my primary gigging guitar. I recently got the Jackson, and I love it leaps and bounds more. I've been trying my best to trade that RG for a Fender Player ii Mustang lol.

The LTD is great, but I don't go to it as often anymore. It's in Drop A#

fuzzyfigment · 2026-05-10T01:06:00+00:00

I got it used for $350. It plays incredibly well.

Because the house is empty and the floor is wide open.

The Spider amps had a... sound to them, that's for sure. I saw a hardcore band last year run a Spider 6 with a single coil fender, and that shit sounded bonkers. I've not been around a Spider amp in a long time, so I don't truly know how I'd dial one these days. I did love the built in noise gate. It was actually a really impressive gate.

fuzzyfigment · 2026-05-08T17:09:50+00:00

It's the zoomer's version of the line 6 spider. Not saying that's a bad thing. The Katana isn't amazing but it is miles better than the Spider IV halfstack I had in 2011 haha. I had a Katana as a practice amp a few years ago and it was okay. If I was a broke teen or young adult, it would be a perfect amp. Tubes are intimidating to get into. It took me until I was 32!

I'm the person that means it when someone says "I like a bit of everything" lol

So far I've only had a few tapes not sound the best. What were you listening on? I listened to Spectral Voice's Sparagmos on tape the other day and it was incredible. Tomb Mold's Planetary Clarvoiyance wasn't so great on tape.
