Fender amps just do NOT like anything with more than 6 strings.

Might wanna get an axe-fx in on this one guys!

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@BaphometStudios No Fenders being used on this one. That was an Orange Rockerverb.

[Antilevitation]

everything looked much more appealing with the red cloth background.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@Antilevitation Yep. Our competitors liked it so much that they copied us! So we decided to change it up.

[MrJesusCrisp]

What kind of gear has been used in this demo?

PGS hasn't sounded that brutal before. :O

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@MrJesusCrisp - Thanks! We used a combination of an Orange Rockerverb 50 and a direct sound run through an amp simulator. The Rockerverb has a nice, aggressive midrange punch, while the DI captures the full low-end spectrum. Shake well, blend to taste.

shitty tone at the beginning, best approach if you have the right kinda money, go with Ibanez Prestige RG2228 with emg 808s, Mesa boogie head and a Orange cabinet with axe fx2 cant go wrong with that setup =)

@zdkezios Actually, it's a whole step away from the low E on a bass. For me, that's the point. I started out playing bass and moved to the guitar, but sometimes I still feel like I'm missing those lows in a riff or solo. This is a great instrument if you have a need to switch between bass and guitar roles (if your bassist has poor practice attendance like mine), if you want to be an all-encompassing solo performer, or just if you want to double up on the bass with a different tone.

deftones!

[zdkezios]

I dunno, man. I get seven strings, but eight? There's a point where you have to think, "Should I be playing a bass instead?" I mean, the lowest string is F# right? Isn't that just a whole step away from the high E on a bass?

[TheMagicBroomstick]

So these eight string guitars don't tend to blow the speakers on normal guitar amps if you crank the amp up with a lot of distortion?

[xlambxofxruinx]

deftones song ftw

Rocket Skates!!!! \m/

[TheSybredMachineHead]

What is the access to the higher frets like on this guitar? The low tones are sounding brilliant, just concerned about the highs

[topdog2328]

might as well use a bass amp with a distorion pedal

[darklordbaf]

Tuning?
