Total Plectrums

  1. It's not dissimilar to a Vester guitar I had years back, you could look them up and see what you can find. Good luck !
  2. Done, I hope I pass, I was up all night revising !!
  3. Iv'e just installed the stereo type pure tone jack into my guitar, being an ageing guitarist with constant tinnitus in both ears its hard to say if there's a tonal change or not. That being said, It probably is better, maybe a little crisper ?? the main thing I guess is that it's no worse !! Cheers Raven1313 for bring this item to my attention and thanks Dad3353 for pointing out there was a stereo type 'for just those cases' like mine.
  4. Cheers for this ! I've just ordered a stereo type jack, review to come !!!!
  5. I was intrigued by the claim to these pure tone jacks so I ordered one, unfortunately I was unable to fit this to my system due to the jack only having a tip and sleeve connection, having dare I say a non conventional wiring setup in my guitar I needed a ring connection too, this would provide a power ground which activates the system when the cable jack is inputted, without that, no sound !
  6. For years I've been playing around with different pedals both inline and using the effects return, more recently I've been trying out digital plug-ins using Amplitube. At first I was interested in comparing my Mesa amp to the digital version but have now started using the digital pedals in Amplitube instead of my pedalboard setup. To do this I had to bypass the amp and cabs on the software and thought I'd go thought the send return but can only managed to go inline, the controls on my interface seem to be affecting the sound on the crunchier channels but sounds great though the clean so ideally it needs to go though the send return. Q. Has many one else tried this ?

    Hi

    Hi, Welcome to guitar chat !
  8. Loving my tone right now ! :) 

  9. Today I've been playing around with Amplitube doing a kind of comparison between a digital plugin and the real thing.

     

    I have to say this is a more neighbour friendly option !!

     

    Had some fun mucking about with different pedals and cabs, even mic and room positions.

     

    You can't beat the real thing for that 'I'm a guitarist feeling' but this is good fun to play about with, plus is a lot cheaper !!!

  10. Hi Mike !! I can't help you with your valuation but welcome to guitar chat anyway !!
  11. Hi, I'm Richard (Chud)

     

    I've been playing the guitar on and off since I was 13, I'm now 49 and forever looking for better sounds and tones.

     

    My biggest music influence over the years has been Metallica, I first heard Orion back in '87 and I had to know who was playing it and have been a massive fan of them since.

    Amp - Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier

    Cabinet - Marshall MX212R  2x12" Celestion Seventy 80's

  12. I can only answer this as who I've been influenced by the most over the years and not necessarily the best guitarists, as that is a massive can of very talented worms with no answer to it !! So I have been influenced by: Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden), Joe Satriani, James Hetfield (Metallica), Gary Moore, an Honorary mention to Robbie Krieger (The Doors) I know it's more than 3, you're lucky I stopped there !!
