"Let's look at your pedalboard." "Oh, nothing too fancy." There's only 11 f'ing pedals!
"Nothing too fancy" is like a distortion pedal, a wah, a delay, a chorus, and maybe a flanger. Or if you're like Trivium, just a wah and everything else is handled by your head unit. O.o
@A7XEternalSoldier Distortion pedals are overrated and kind of pointless. Just use amp distortion and plug in an overdrive pedal to boost the signal and make it even heavier.
@Bludhoundz8 But at the same time though, a lot of amps have piss-poor distortion even with an overdrive pedal giving them a hand. Plus, if you get the right distortion pedal (MXR Fullbore Metal comes to mind; something I own) and mess around with the settings on the pedal and the amp, you can get some amazing sounds. Provided you don't use it on anything as digital as a Line 6, or a Peavey Vyper.
@A7XEternalSoldier Yeah, solid-state amps aren't designed to handle pedals with all the built-in effects and stuff. Makes sense. You should try out the Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff pedal. Like I said, I don't use distortion pedals too much, but thats definitely one i loved over all the rest. I think the best way to go is to get a super clean-sounding amp, then just adding in a distortion pedal for full versatility. I.E. Distortion into a Fender or Vox amp.
@Bludhoundz8 Solid states are definately more versatile and easy to use though because you don't need pedals, but their strength is also their weakness; because they're so versatile, they're only good at everthing, and not great at everything. I've played around with a few Fender and Vox amps at Guitar Center and I'll admit that they do sound great, but I've been wanting Marshall for a long time; or possibly Mesa/Boogie. Only issue with those two brands is the price.
@A7XEternalSoldier I dunno, most effects on solid states aren't even worth it in terms of quality. Its just a gimick for new guitarists. Though its good because there cheap practice amps, which is all you really need at that point. I dunno, I prefer a Vox over everything else. Super clean, but can also get a nice chunky modern hard rock distortion from it. Marshalls and Boogies are cool, but too expensive for me. I'd rather let my playing do the talking. Hell, I still play my Squier.
@Bludhoundz8 lol Right on. I still play my little p.o.s. Fender Starcaster every now and then but my primary is my Schecter Omen 7 that put EMGs on (707 neck, 707TW bridge). I am (eventually) gonna start modding the hell out of my Fender with new pickups, tuners, a Floyd Rose, and possibly a custom Warmoth neck.
As far as amps, I was also thinking about a Randall cause I hooked my MXR up to my friend's half stack and it sounded great.
@A7XEternalSoldier Nice, I heard a lot of good things about the Omen, and Schecter in general. I love my Squier, its a strat model, my very first guitar, totally beat up. If I ever can be lucky enough to fulfill my dream of making it big, I'll be playing that guitar on stage a lot. Of course I'll be playing others, too. I'd love to own a PRS. Is it even worth modding a starcaster? Probably should just buy another guitar instead. Yeah, Randalls are good amps too
@Bludhoundz8 Yeah Omens are great and so is Schecter, especially for the money. If I had any complaints at all it'd be that the neck profile could be a tiny bit thinner on mine. It may sound strange, but I think its the closest you can get to building a custom guitar from scratch without actually doing it. The wood actually sounds great, its just the equipment that's crap. When its all done the body will be the only original part; hell I may even convert it to a 7-string. lol
@A7XEternalSoldier Yeah, I heard Schecters have necks like baseball bats. I really like their Damien Elite models. Got great pickups, wood, ect for a very fair price. Still, my favorite guitars are PRS Single Cut models, those bird inlays are beautiful, and their custom pickups growl and sing. My other favorite would be Fender Strats and teles.
@Bludhoundz8 Eh, you actually heard wrong. The only reason the neck on mine is too thick for me is because I prefer super thin necks (like that on a Dean ML). I've only played a PRS SE 24 once at Guitar Center and I will say it was a great guitar; but pricey as hell. I've never cared much for Fender's though; overrated in my opinion.
@A7XEternalSoldier I used to like really thin necks, but I got so used to playing my Squier's slightly larger neck that super thin ones make my hand hurt now. I wouldn't say Fenders are overrated, just really popular. The king of versatility among guitars would still have to be the Telecaster. You can't really get more versatile than that guitar. Or any of Fender's guitars.
@Bludhoundz8 I play mostly metal, so a thin, fast neck is my best friend next to a set of decent pickups and stable tuning. The main reason I don't like Fender's is mostly the neck; way too round and chunky feeling to me. Fender does own the "most versatile" title by a long shot, but they still fall short. Any instrument that can do everything well, will never be as good in a field as a dedicated one. Example: Fender's work for metal, but they fall short against guitars like my Schecter.
@A7XEternalSoldier Depends a lot more on the player. I play metal and I love my strat. Hiss from the single coil isn't really as bad as people make it out to be, and the tone is still as good as a humbucker, just not as full-sounding. And I don't care for ripping solos every few minutes so I'm fine with the rounder neck, lol. I do like Schecters, though.
@Bludhoundz8 Yeah, that's why damn near everytime somebody something is better than something else its a matter of opinion. A lot of people like round necks because it feels more solid and it feels good in your hand; I don't. I know what you mean about the single-coil though; my Fender is an HSS configuration and my Schecter has a coil tap on the bridge. I mostly use that for classic rock/blues moments which is always fun.
@A7XEternalSoldier Yeah, exactly. I don't care for coil-taps very much. Or killswitches, or tons of volume and tone pots, I like it nice and simple. I'm looking at the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III amp right now as the amp I might upgrade to. Seems to have everything I need.
@Bludhoundz8 I like coil taps and killswitches simply because they're very useful; apart from that, all I need is a volume pot or two. I'm in need of a new amp too; I want something bigger and better sounding than a little Line 6 Spider IV 15. Only problem, I also want a wah pedal...and all that costs money. lol
@A7XEternalSoldier Haha, my amp is the Line 6 Spider III 15. I'm more of a rhythm player, I prefer to lay down a steady harmony to the vocalist's melody (I don't like playing with other guitarists, I prefer to play with a bassist). But I love wah pedals. My all time favorite pedal. If I ever do solo, I'll probably end up using a wah for every one. The sound and feeling that you get is just indescribable. Probably why Kirk Hammet uses it all the time. Probably overuses it though.
@Bludhoundz8 Finally! Someone else who agrees with me! Kirk uses his wah to the point where its actually annoying. He's a great guitarist and his solos are awesome, he just needs to calm down. Wah pedals are all about feeling; they're supposed to be used to add feeling and depth to a solo, not just a sound effect.
@A7XEternalSoldier Haha, I know quite a few peeople that agree with us about Kirk. I agree, the wah pedal makes the guitar cry and wail and sing and since soloing is supposed to be all about letting it all out, its the perfect extension. Unfortunately, people these days just solo for the sake of having a solo in every song. I hate that. One of the reasons why we guitarists get called egomaniacs all the time.
@Bludhoundz8 Yeah, but you gotta admit, bands would be shit without us! xD
At the same time though, bands would be nothing without drummers, bassists...vocalists, you can take em or leave em for the most part. In a band, everybody is actually of equal importance and the truly great bands are the ones that have realized that and don't hold themselves up higher than their bandmates.
@A7XEternalSoldier Haha, XD Very true to all of that. Like A7X for example, a lot of people complain about Zacky being useless and how they don't need two guitarists. Well, they don't need two, but without Zacky, A7X wouldn't be as great as they are today. Syn even admitted he's not that great a rhythm player, and I think they compliment each other perfectly, which is one of the big things that make up A7X.
@A7XEternalSoldier Thats what the bassist is for, lol. Let the guitarst play the solo, and the bassist plays the main guitar riff or some kind of bass line in the background, with some overdrive added on to it to give it a fatter, fuller sound and more presense in the mix. I prefer that to two guitarists any day, lol.
@ironfan24 when your playing.. and your pounding away on the strings and you happen to get off the tempo of the song the guitar wont make any noise that is off the selected tempo lol its a cheater pedal :) lol
@maesz17- yeah, drop c is my primary tuning. I know what you mean, it just has the best all around tone. Not too deep and muddy like drop b, and not too shrill in some areas as drop d can be. Just perfect
@Songwriter4God- Could be he was in drop d... But I know Skillet does a lot in drop c as well, so thats why I said he could be in open d. Then tuning his top d down he'd be in drop c
@BoyRocksWorld Yeah, that's what I do for standard tuning now, like if I want to play osme blues, or Casting Crowns or something I'll just tune my low C to a D and capo 2, bam, standard tuning! Although, I'm not sure really how much they do drop C, Monster, Rebirthing, Should've When You Could've, and I think Savior are all in C, but I'm not sure what else.
@Songwriter4God Yeah, Drop C/ Open D is the best tuning I've found tone wise.. Umm... Idk how much Skillet does in Drop C either.. Most of the album Collide sounds like it's either in C or Bb.. But I'm not 100% sure.
@marsz17 I know this is a really late answer to your question, but it's an external tap tempo for the DD-7. Alot of BOSS's single pedal style delay pedals don't offer the option to set the tempo of the song when you kick the delay on. He uses that to alter the tempo of the delay when he kicks the pedal on.
@songwriter4God_ He said his guitar was in D tuning. I took that (being a guitarist myself) to mean that he was in open D tuning. If so, drop C is like going to drop D from standard if you are in open D... Idk if that's exactly what was going on there, but thought it might have been what he was doing.
@Songwriter4God@Ice7String Another thing to take notice of is that the ME II is only a 25th Anniversary model and Korey has had the guitar prior to PRS's anniversary. Although, the ME II is the most similar PRS model, but has a different bridge. Therefore, its quite obvious that Korey's models are hand-picked/customized at a PRS manufacturer based on her preferences.
@Songwriter4God@Ice7String If you look at the hardware on the Navarro model, its not the same as Korey's. Korey's has gold hardware, two volume &/or tone knobs, and a toggle switch, all on the ME II, but the ME II is not advertised with the same color as Korey's guitar, but I do know that Ben and Korey go to a PRS manufacturer and customize their guitars. The color of Korey's guitar is a bit more "pearly" than the jet white. (Google Korey Cooper, many pics show the color in concert lights)
Hey, anyone know what guitars Kory uses? I think she uses a Modern Eagle II, but I don't know what else. The white one is her drop B though, they use that in the intro and Whispers.
@prsrbeast Good luck with the money. Although, I personally like the DS-1 more than his dist. pedal. I'd try all of them first though, a ton of pedals doesn't necessarily make it sound better....
Once I got another electric (Otherwise known as a PRS SE Custom.) I'm gonna have to slap on some 13s and use strictly 11s on my current one so I can keep the PRS in drop B and use my current one on C D and standard. I wonder how Monster sounded so good in drop D... Ben rules.
Thumbs up if Ben should have a signature PRS SE250
