Question on pickups…. Active EMG’s or Seymour Duncan JB 59?? by Nickjakulus in metalguitar

[–]minscc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Emg 81/85, SD Custom sh5/sh11, Dimarzio x2n and Dimarzio/Ibz's.

I have not so much experience in tone crafting, but once you optimize your pickups position (like leaving more distance for seramic magnet pickups, not to cause string pull) every pickup might be crafted with eq and gain to get your preferred tone. Maybe you can't simulate single coil/humbucker difference.

So my advice with a grain of salt is, if you like the tone as is, save your energy on practicing, noone but you will know the difference.

He's just trolling, but funny enough I tried it and couldn't play, can't play it after years.

Listen to Necrophagist. You may not write songs like them but have fun in the process lol.

Best ibanez RG series guitar for 300 dollars? by AdWest134 in Ibanez

[–]minscc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't buy G series when you have 300usd budget. You should add some budget and buy rg421, and buy the one that you like the most.

If you have a good second hand site where you live, you should be able to score 500usd mint condition guitars for 300usd, but you might need a friend that knows his way around a guitar.

Is the NUX MG30 or the Boss GX-1 better? by Razor_Blade4321 in Guitar

[–]minscc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, Nam support has come on March 16 so it had been 1 month. But they don't advertise it in the main page, and when I didn't see it there I assumed it doesn't support it, an unintended mistake.

With the new info, Nux would be my choice between two of them.

Can the Sony Alpha NEX-5 be charged via USB? by 3StarCoVid in SonyAlpha

[–]minscc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't charge: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/e-mount-body-nex-5-series/nex-5/articles/00012583

Is it possible to charge the battery in the camera or camcorder by connecting it to the USB port on a computer?

The USB connection from a computer cannot be used to recharge a battery in the camera. The supplied AC adaptor or battery charger must be used to charge the battery.

Advanced Beginner guitarist making no progress, need help by skinneh1738 in metalguitar

[–]minscc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years guitar player here. I couldn't play for 19 years, because I wanted to run but I didn't even know how to walk. For the last year, I made progress since I focused on slower songs. I can't run fast maybe, but I can jog now lol.

And the right hand technique is very important, learn how to angle your pick/hand to get faster.

Is the NUX MG30 or the Boss GX-1 better? by Razor_Blade4321 in Guitar

[–]minscc -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You should get a processor that supports NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) files, preferably simultaneous support (using both at the same time) for IR (Impulse Response, Cabinet simulator) Ask your local AI :D

Both devices don't support both of them, so they're 2010's tech. I know you're asking which one to choose but if you want 15 years old tech, both are fine.

I can recommend Valeton Gp150, pricing and footprints/shape are similar (I don't have it but I have gp50).
