Search Results for ‘distorted tone’

A few months ago Keri Kelli the lead guitarist for Alice Cooper, had a volume pedal set-up to go from clean to distorted on his amp....Where, it's clean when it's open and distorted when he punches it down. Does anyone have a clue how to do that??? P.S. He says he uses an ernie ball VP JR. if...

I thought this would be cool, but besides choosing from anyone out there, i'v listed some of the best and most popular slingers :)

Hi all, Has anyone wired Evos in parallel? Is there a big difference in sound? I'm thinking of modding my 7VWH, adding two switches (one for each PU) so I can switch from Parallel to Series. Thanks! Andy

Hey, I found one of these locally for what seems like a really good deal. But I decided to look around to see what they go for and have so far not been able to find any. Do you guys know about the average price for one of these. Aside from the price, have any of you played one? What do you...

i have a strong feeling for buying this amp.... i love the warm sound it produces from hearing some youtubeclips/gilbert/kotzen. the amp would be used @ home most of the time...so i was thinking of the 50watt version...or would it be a good idea to just own a 100watt ? money is no problem its...

Ok so I've been saving some cash to get a really pimped out guitar. Originally I wanted a Jem, and still do eventually, but I think for now I'm gonna get a custom carvin. It's more pimped out but cheaper, and although I love floating bridges I would rather get really good at just a fixed bridge...

Anybody seen this yet? I got it in the post recently (very fast service through the AT website!)- its a DVD recording of a live show in Texas. Picture quality isn't great (pixellated at times) and its a pretty badly encoded DVD (the widescreen borders are encoded as part of the image, its...

Metallica has launched a new site to allow fans behind the scenes of the new album, which will be wrapped up next week for a September release. http://www.missionmetallica.com/ There are clips of new songs scattered throughout the video stuff on the site. Sounds like the tight Hetfield-only...

I've been here there and everywhere when it comes to this stuff. I've owned a GT-8, a POD XT Live and two different V-Amps. I had the XT Live for less than a month because I didn't like the distorted tones at all. The GT-8 had a really funky sound to it for metal and rock (as well as neat...

Hey folks, I have a rig that I currently use and LOVE (pod xt + atomic reactor amp), and I was thinking of getting another setup (perhaps going all-tube), since I split my time between college (in a diff state) and my home. My max cost for this is about 1300-1400. I play primarily instrumental...

I bought a guitar processor a while ago (a Zoom G9.2tt to be exact), which has a USB connection with ASIO support. Very convenient for recording. However, it only supports 16-bit 48 KHz. My own soundcard does 24-bit 96 KHz, and therefore whenever I wanted to add a guitar track, I either had to...

Hi all - I need some amp advice. I currently have a vox ad15 and after 4 years with it, it's time for a change. Some background, i play only at home in an apt, looking for nice cleans and a 80's metal distorted tone. I don't like any of the other modelers out there. Looking at the following...

Hi all - So i just picked up a boss rc-2 looper. I have some questions about it, regarding if this is normal. 1 - When i record a clean sound, and save it, then play it back so i can play a lead over it, the clean sound also becomes distorted. The same holds true if i record a distorted...

I have a few questions about the JEM7VWH i need answered first. These may be FAQs so bear with me :) 1. Does the gold finish on the hardware wear out easily? and can it be protected from wearing off? 2. Does it have a good clean sound? Im not looking for something amazing, just a decent clean...

Is it true that highoutput pickups aren't nesiscary with todays amps and gain levels? Please explain the reason for your answer if you can.

Okay, So I bought a Steve's Special to replace the PAF pro in the bridge of my RGT3120. Now, I was under the impression that while the PAF pro is a great pickup, it's less than ideal for gain-soaked metal riffage. Being in a metal band, I thought I'd better order a higher output pickup to...
