for sure… i want to play more guitars and get a better sense of my neck preferences
last time i went to the shop i played a killer neck on a music man valentine… roasted maple again. i just really love that stuff i guess

i don’t mind a 43mm nut width really, it’s moreso is the depth thin or thick. i feel like i could get along with a wider thin neck just fine

i also played a killer PRS hollowbody last time i was in the shop. feels like a strat shape with tones nearing a 335? sort of

mechanically i think prs mccarty models (hollow or otherwise) are generally excellent - intonatable wraptail bridge, straight string path to tuners - but prs make all their instruments look tacky as fuck, and especially so for the money

you could absolutely get a pro to build you something that meets or betters the spec and is actually nice to look at

electribe 2 sampler??? or the first one? either way hell yeah

557

the 2. all i have done with it so far is make a chill version of the ducktales moon song, but yeah, it’s great.

558

hell yeah

i actually really like the electribe 2 workflow and all of the problems i had with it were things like the voice limit and the tiny gap when switching patterns, but the sampler is something i feel like i wouldn’t even notice those problems when using

559

yeah, the tiny gap is only noticeable with llike constant basslines, and I think I can work with that pretty easily.

i am a real Fuzz Freak but actually purchasing a fuzz pedal besides this $30 behringer superfuzz clone i own seems extremely indulgent. i mean it isn’t, but there are expenses i can blame on the rest of my fam (everyone eats nutritious food or at least shares in the treats, whole family loves vidcons, tools can be used to productive ends, etc.) but guitar stuff is all on me so i try to spend zero dollars total. i am also into buying Branded Fuzzes like the dunlop fuzzface or the dod carcosa or a regular ehx muff because while other versions of them have clean blends or whatever and a few switches, it is so cool how an actual muff just costs like $60 used or something

i want…

  • a roland bee baa clone, old fender blender, old ampeg scrambler, some kind of fucked up ancient fuzz
  • big muff, especially russian/green voiced one like wren and cuff super russian or dwarfcraft eau claire thunder or this Wren and Cuff De La Riva | Rock N Roll Vintage | Reverb
  • fairfield circuitry four eyes, stone deaf pdf1/2, chase bliss condor, ehx cock fight, something that lets you use expression or cv to get a real swollen resonant midrange like you get from a cocked wah. or even tho i am not so into envelope filters, finding something with a good state variable filter and cranking it up as far as a guitar or bass can go without actually sounding like a synth or ever “quacky”. i love lots of glam rock guitar sounds and old doom bass sounds and noise/psych/experimental guitar sounds and for the correctly offensive midrange i think there are probably 40000 ways to do the job well enough with a few pedals used creatively
  • fuzz factory or whatever

i dont have spending money though so lol

My $10 Danelectro fuzz takes the output from my cheapo generic reverse reverb pedal better than my big muff. $30 shoegaze!

my best fuzz tone ever was from a 12" speaker shoved lopsided into a 10" crate combo practice amp. it’s real man

I’ve been getting a lot of ads for this thing, and I have to admit I’m a little tempted.

still have not bought new guitar or pedals (beyond tuner and looper), still playing my squier everyday

keep shifting around my priorities of what i want, recently i’ve realized/remembered that i love love love rage against the machine and now i kind of want a cheapo shredder guitar and a whammy so i can do all the divebombs and stutter effects

if this ibanez had a second tone knob it would be perfect

I was looking at the very reasonable Casiotone @Mikey linked above but then I remembered I’m doomed to own one of these

It’s software so I don’t know if this is quite the right thread, but this modular DAW just reached full release and it looks insane. totally free, has way better UI than any other digital modular rack I’ve seen, has got tons of features. suuuper excited to dig into it

this looks really cool and “bounce my last 30 minutes of audio to the hard disk even if i never hit record” is a brilliant brilliant feature imo. i work with ableton usually & lose so many happy accidents because i don’t always think to hit record when jamming or doing sound design exploration

oh 1000%. like the idea that i could be playing around without the intention of doing some sound design session or something, but then decide actually i like this and want to save it is just chefs kiss

oof that does look fun and oops i definitely have a new sequencer on the way so…maybe this will accidentally eat up all my time

i remember when ableton added the midi record buffer thing where it records the last few minutes of midi notes for you and that was great, can’t even imagine what it’s like for the actual sounds
