questions

Just realized I posted this in the wrong forum... my apologies. Considering adding SD Invaders (SH-6 & 8) to a newly purchased guitar. There is a lot of fuzz, buzz, etc. When replacing the pick ups, will it help to swap out any other items to reduce unwanted noise? Pic provided for your...

2 questions : - Why some of their pickups have the logo on them, and some not? Bought a Tone Zone bridge humbucker for my Robin, and 98% of the Tone Zone I see are without the logo. Same goes with other models. - Received my pickups installed that way from my luthier. I trust him on what he's...

I know where root notes are on scales but how do you use the root notes when playing? the other question i have is, I really want to tune to D standard but my guitar goes out of tune when i do that. I'm not tuning that much lower and i have an esp ec-256 and esp's is set up pretty well, so o...

I've been thinking of getting one of these for a long time now and I'm convinced it's the amp for me. The only problem is, literally NOWHERE anywhere near me has any where I can try any which is driving me crazy. I know there's a load of different versions of the amp but it's probably a...

Hi all, I'm new (again) to electric guitar and unfortunately, my wife does not like hearing metal guitar so I'm going to have to spend most of my time playing through headphones and a MacBook. As a plus side, I can do this also in the early morning and evenings without offending neighbors. I'm...

I'm not familiar with effects. I've watched several videos and done some reading, but am still not clear on how to set up the "Pedal Chain." I own a Digitech HT-2 (Tuner). Will this work with the Zuul? It appears that a pedal is required in front of the Zuul to split the guitar's signal...

The net is awash with conflicting and generally useless information, and sifting through it is a proper rabbit hole, so I'm just asking for some very simple answers based on your experience. I know all the differences and nuances of using nitro vs poly etc. Fuck using nitro, shit takes a...

Hey guys! Merry Christmas to all of you! Here it comes... I'm tone hunting and I need some help. I've eliminated nearly all of my pedals... I have a Korg tuner, a Wah (thank you Beneharris for the repairs,) and an MXR Carbon Copy delay. I recently threw some new tubes in the Lone Star, so...

Please share what is on your pedalboard.....I will start...and as you all know I have always been a blackstar guy, spent a bunch of time wondering if I was missing out so I spent a good amount of time looking at other amps, but each and every time I always go back to my Blackstar...

Is Trey using a harmonizer effect on this album at 4:46 on Summoning Redemption for this lead?: Also, what effect was going on here on the opening lead of Invocation of the Continual One?:

Hey guys, I have some embarrassing newbie questions I need to ask. PREAMP to Virtual Cabinet I found a good deal on an ENGL E530. Looking forwards to receiving it. My question is, what's the best way of hooking it into my audio interface? How I want to use it: Guitar --> e530 --> Audio...

So I'm in the process of reading about and learning some theory. I'm the only person I know that really plays an instrument(besides drums) and don't really have anyone to ask simple questions that probably require 1 sentence answers. I thought I would be good to make a thread that I can ask...

Alright Gents, I have a question for you all. I know a few have been around for a while, have enjoyed many bands and etc over the years. I was just wondering if you guys had any opinions on what you make of the modern-guitarists in the Rock & Metal scene? Do you like many or not? And I...

Hi guys - So... I love this amp. I'm curious about a few things involving the effects loop - I'm trying to understand some of the Internet scat flying back and forth over the parallel loop vs serial loop thing and how each interacts with pedals, etc. I understand the "wet" vs "dry" signal...

Hi everyone, this is Simon Revill. I'm a full time guitar teacher and transcriber from the UK and I'm a new member to this forum. As well as saying a big hello to you all, I'm hoping to get your help with something. I've just launched my brand new website, dedicated to heavy metal guitar...

Project Guitar - pos S7420 It's time! I have wanted a hardtail S-series ever since I got a floater. It would be the perfect guitar, simple, light and supremely comfortable. Freeing me from ever having to think about it. Well, I found a neck + body for ~150 euro. First things first, this is a...

I have a project body coming soon that I will be painting and I have a few questions. I plan to use ReRanch products unless you guys have a better suggestion. Unfortunately I am limited to aerosol cans but I think it'll turn out Ok if I take my time. I would like for this guitar to have...

Hey guys Can anyone be patient and enlighten me on all those 90's Peavey Combos? I keep seeing on my local "Craig List" Bandits with various color stripes (Red, Green, Grey) which I cant find info on whats different about them, also Envoys and Backstage models. I miss having an Amp even...

So ya I took the plunge and got the Yamaha THRX and so glad I did. This thing is a beast!. Best sounding amp ever as far as i'm concerned. I was curious though will a EHX Soul Food pedal sound good thru the clean channel? Also I have a schecter with stock pickups with the thrx being a modeling...

Okay i live in canada but buffalo new york is within driving distance. If i see a used item can i buy it online and have it shipped to the closest gc? If something goes wrong with the item which location do i have to deal with. The original or the pick up location. How long does shipping...
