  1. No one was talking about shite myspace page, there's a little chance of people buying a album from a band that heard only few times, and downloading it for free isn't that hard and you won't have to pay money obviously.. so there's a opportunity to get known a bit better than be focused on money straight from the beginning...

    P.S. Most of the bands in myspace are bad - ....

  2. Wha'choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?

    I love owning CDs. I also appreciate that a lot of hard work goes into music and the people that write it for us need to pay their bills too.

    Better quality on CD's too, even if you download 320kB/s mp3's

    o fuck man you just made a friend for life. ever need a loan or a place to stay, you got it!:up:

    I appreciate that, thanks:popcorn:

  3. i second just using the volume on the guitar. i disagree that it negatively affects the tone... i would think adding more pedals to your rig would have more of an effect in that respect

    it affects the tone when youre playing with overdrive and its noticeable. Different story with clean channel

  4. If you want to boost the signal to overdrive the amp ant lower volume, just turn the LEVEL knob to max (10/10) and leave the tone and drive at 0 so it will stay the same almost.. .

    You can do that with almost any pedal, most common are probably Boss DS1 or SD1, Dod 250(or YJMmodel) obviously and many more.

    If you do not want to add even a little more drive to your solo, then there's no other way than just buying a volume pedal. Which would still have some influence on the drive. (if you have valve amp)

  5. Machine heads might be the problem or even nut ... although it's not a expensive it should still stay in tune for longer than 1 minute...

    Try locking the tremolo, or just add few extra springs. When you bend a string it shifts down the tremolo little bit so that could cause getting it out of tune and by locking it you could probably avoid that happening.

    If I'm not right , please correct me...

  6. yes but adding distortion/od makes the guitar feedback more easily and increases handling noise etc therefor it's best to learn how to keep the distortion under control. pinch harmonics, legato is easier, hitting the strings harder has less effect (like compression basically), the guitar is just a lot different with distortion on it.

    :popcorn: well yeah :-) I don't use much distortion so I don't have too much trouble handling the feedback. ''hitting the strings harder has less effect'' it has effect if it is a valve amp. You can get a clean sound and distorted depending how much power you put in hitting strings.

    :popcorn: Boss DS-1 would be a great pedal - and you can take it anywhere with you! It's good for boosting valve amps too

  7. fair enough, why not exactly?

    Maybe he doesn't use overdrive at all.

    It is easier to hear all your mistakes on a clean channel. What is a good idea to learn how to play cleanly before turning on overdrive - that's my opinion.

  8. Those things are pretty loud for practice amps.

    They're ok you can still crank em up above 5 in a flat ... so it's not too bad... depends on neighbors. I think those valve juniors got like one volume knob or smth..? Can't remember exactly.... It would be a bit better having equalizer and even a second channel ;/ Or you'd have to buy a booster or a dist. pedal for it.
