Need more guitar discussion

Hey what is the best guitar effects software out there?
Something that is easy to use and has a lot of different effects.
I would prefer it to have lots of presets so I dont need to screw around with stuff.

Thanks!

i play alot of genres, only stuff im not too deeply into is like slipknot stuff. its a little too crazy for me haha. or country i haven't really given that much play. so maybe some versatile?
does it really make a diff?

i just don't want my guitar to sound like crap. i have troubles trying to determine what sound is what..maybe some help? hahaha

1500-2000 gets you most major brand top of the line combos...for that cash you're probably looking at a 1x12 45-60w tube marshall or mesa boogie

You want a Stiletto Ace combo then... they have one at Long and McQuade. Its got a really thick Marshall gain sound, a great crunch sound, and wicked cleans, and it is surprisingly affordable.

This is my old amp and I love it! Dont tempt me to buy it back.

In other news, the guitar world lost a true virtuoso and fantastic player on the weekend. Given his condition and style of playing I dont think you could have found a more unique player. He absolutely wailed on some of his tracks- check them out if you have not heard.

RIP Jeff Healey



I'm really pissed now I didnt jump on the chance to see him and the jazz wizards at the Jube or his band when they were at the deerfoot casino. I even sold a limited edition strat with his signature on it.

I've tried the two big ones, amplitube and guitar rig. Guitar rig has more presets, and I definitely like the sound of them over the amplitube ones.


Check out their sites, they should have sound clips of each preset, but keep in mind they dont exactly sound like that.

Just dropped off my Charvel and Ibanez at Fretworks for bridge pickup swaps and some setup work.. I heard a certain Les Paul is finished, he showed me an OLD Floyd Rose with no fine tuners (WOW I'm glad I never will have to use one) and mentioned it in passing. How does it play?

Fucking absolutely epic, just picked it up today. Audio, pics, and vids coming soon. We're working on it now.

[rage2]

So, the guitar's 99% done, just a few asthetics to take care of... since we needed the guitar today and Miles just rushed it out the door for us right on time. Epi Les Paul Floyd Rose + Duncan Distortion pickups lol, what a retarded (yet epic) project.

Surprisingly, even though a LOT of wood was taken out of the guitar, sustain hasn't changed at all. Neither has the tone, so for those that think ripping a Les Paul apart to put in a Floyd Rose will kill both... well, they're wrong. And ya, the guitar is still heavy as fuck. Kerry played a few samples and I recorded 'em.

The clean sample shows how wicked this thing sounds, and the dirty sample shows how well it still sustains.

And finally, the shred sample shows some wankery on the FR haha.

Kerry refuses to stop playing the guitar, which means I won't have pics till he gives it back .

edit - got him off the guitar .

Ok that thing sounds totally bad ass. I love that great slightly muddy bluesy sound to it clean.

[kerry]

Looks like I have some more practicing to do ahah

[Seanith]

Anyone know a good method to record your guitar playing onto an ipod? I was going to try using my MD Player but i don't have the software so i wouldn't be able to transfer it back to my computer... btw kerry, we gotta get together again soon heh. Its been awhile now. We've both been busy.

[Graham_A_M]

Sweet vid. Yeah that Floyd rose really is something isn't it?

[three.eighteen.]

did the floyd change the scale length of the lp at all? looks like you can see the old bridge posts aft of the floyd

likely the same length, the two holes left are from the wraparound tail piece, you see them a lot when guys go to bigsby trems as well.
