I wonder what the next JHS pedal kit will be.
If you are into ToneX: I created a profile from the green channel of the Überschall module, together with an IR (from Kristian Kohle). Feel free to test it...
Finally diving into this #GuitarPedal kit now that I have adequate magnification. Baroness bought me the #StewMac Ghost Driven kit, which is a #KlonCentaur clone. I've never soldered anything before, so this is quite an experience for me. I have the #USAvCanada #rugby match on replay to keep me distracted (so my #ADHD doesn't pick something else to distract me with).
Been playing with the amp/ module a lot the last days and I'm really impressed. It sounds very good.
The green and red channels are very different. The green channel has a great mid bite that helps to cut through any dense metal mix. The red channel is clearly more scooped and american sounding. No boost pedal needed at all.
Overall, the sounds are also much more mix-ready.
The amp is a little thin in the low mids, but the bass is much better than it was with my Powerball.
The power amp can be turned up to about 12 without the tubes buckling, but beyond that it becomes very audible. Overall perfectly fine for a home studio.
hey #bass players! i’m looking for an #amp recommendation. currently the only one i have is a little 1x8 ampeg practice amp, i think only 30 or 35w. it’s fine for practice at home, but isn’t gonna handle much more than that.
i’m working on getting into an actual band(!) and will need an actual honest-to-god amp at some point in the near future, for rehearsals and probably small-venue gigs. i can spend a little bit on an amp, budget isn’t the biggest concern within reason, but i’m not looking for a super high-end rig that will cost thousands of dollars either.
what i’m really looking to get a feel for is: do i walk into Guitar Center or someplace and buy an affordable combo amp (200w-500w?) off the sales floor, or do i order a separate amp head and cabinet set? how much of a difference will it really make? have y’all had any success or horror stories with certain pieces of gear, brands, etc.?
not expecting y’all to have all the answers for my specific situation, but really interested to hear what kind of amps or other gear y’all like!
Fender amp question: if you bridge the dry and reverb channels with a patch cable in the extra input jacks, what happens?
I'm guessing you can mix the reverb with the dry by changing the relative volumes of the two channels.
#gearsquad what is the advantage of an Eddie style top mounted Floyd? Does it help with multi string bends? I’ve always shied away because of the knocking sound when you let go of the trem arm.
Finally finished the rhythm guitar parts tonight for my new song. Another angst driven political tune, although a bit deeper and reflective than the last one. This is a totally raw short guitar clip from the faster second part of the song. Danelectro 59M for the chord rhythm (L) and Cabronita Telecaster with picking (R). Once finished, looks like this tune will be about 3:10. Capo’d on the 4th and basic A, E, and D chord fingering progressions. Vocals next, then bass. #music #gearsquad #recording #guitar #songwriting
Short noodle jam session with Hope the Player 2 Fender Jaguar. A couple chords on the higher and lower end of the register, switching the pick up options, turning the tone knob to a few positions so you all can hear some colors. Plenty more to explore. I just had my phone on the desk, by the iMac speakers. I ran this through logic with some compression and limiter to get it loud enough, orange cab sim, tiny reverb. #guitar #fender #jaguar #FenderJaguar #electric #jam #tone #gear #GearSquad

I remember you!
This is a 90's Ibanez RG450 that has a lot happen over the years. I can't bring myself to replace the pick-guard, it's patina at this point! Seymour Duncan Distortion on the bridge, and I think a Jazz or something in the Neck? Been a while.
Great whammy, but replaced with all black when some of the other parts were overtighted by some idiot (me).
The tuners also started to disintegrate, I suppose as a cheaper line

Now that I’ve solved my ergonomics issue, I’m pleased that my brain is going into other areas. That’s what happens with me if I’ve actually solved an issue. It finally stops vibrating notifs in my brain lol. Now we are thinking about: trying out lots of guitar picks to discover favorite tones. Back on strings: maybe 10’s. I got a pack of the new Dunlop strings to try. Cables! Spectraflex has been my cable. But I’ll be trying out some different ones. Effects chains! #gearSquad what’s ur faves?
Hey guitar and bass players of Mastodon, for no particular reason I'm curious to know: do you give names to your instruments? Boring old me does not, I just refer to them by their brands or models.
Feel free to comment (and tell the names if you do!). :)
Fretboard radius. There’s a topic. Put down some rhythm tracks on the new song last night and used the Tele with 9.5” radius. I found chords a bit unpredictable. Basically open chords with really aggressive fast playing. Then put down some picking triplets over the chords with the Tele and it was a breeze. Tonight I tried the Danelectro 59M with 14” radius for the speedy chords, and no problem. Interesting phenomenon. Curvature. So looks like Dano for the chords and Tele for the triplets in this song. #guitar #recording #music #gearsquad
Here are some pictures of my Jaguar. It is a Fender Player II Jaguar in the Hialeah Yellow color. I have decided to name her Hope, because that is the message we will try to spread together. I’ll share some sounds soon
