    Unpopular opinions on gear

    > Another one that comes to my mind - clean channel doesn't matter. In a sense, people chase clean channels on amps for the most pristine clean tone. But the ugly truth is, that you can work out usable and nice clean tones from virtualy anything - just add bit of compression, bit of dirt, or...

    "Amp in the room" tone doesn't matter. Or does it?

    It is the only tone that matters to me to be honest. I did the whole tone chasing, did not enjoy playing my guitar. Got myself an amp that sounded great in shop. Now i am playing a ton.

    Headrush Prime

    As nice as this is, Id rather just get two pedals, one for guitar and another for vocals. For 1249, nahhhhh.

    String Change Surprises

    64 for a 25" is too much imo. Others in the thread are more knowledgeable than me to reply on this topic.

    String Change Surprises

    I know exactly what you mean, I built mine over the years and it is a piece of cake. Allen keys, rest for the neck of the guitar, keys etc. But as a collage kid when new set of strings is a real expense, it used to be a big task. I fully agree with you, if one has the time and money, playing...

    String Change Surprises

    Having access to decent space and tools for dedicated purpose makes a huge huge difference. Changing the setup in a small cramped apartment becomes a chore, even though the actual task itself is quiet simple.

    String Change Surprises

    Well, natrually, depending on the note you are tuned to, your guitars neck and materials, some gauges will sound better than others. As well as using the incorrect gauge will sound off. Bostjan would know better. After sticking to 13-53 for so long, I am back to experimenting again trying to...

    String Change Surprises

    I go between jazz and metal, I am a rarity here where I use only one guitar for everything. Modern Flatwounds are quiet bright, so no complaints. I had Thomastik Inkfields 13-53's, before that D'addarios. The Inkfields are pretty good strings, very versatile, they have a weird tension feel...

    String Change Surprises

    I am using flatwounds or Coated Elixir's, the tension and feel varies a lot across brands. I am thinking of tuning to C F C F c f now, will continue with thinner strings than before. My guitar just responds better, notes are easier (duh!) and leads sound clean and beautiful compared to the...

    String Change Surprises

    I was using 13-53's for a few years (B to E) on 27" scale length, as you can imagine the tension was insane and the high E was always on the limit of snapping. I got a pair of 11-49's Elixirs as a gift from a friend, which I put on, the tension is almost half now, but loving the tone. The...

    Electric sitar guitar?

    Im yet to hear a synthetic material tabla that sounds decent, but no harm in trying. Def finish this G-Sitar first.

    Old pod beans and other old modeling units that can be had for cheap?

    Vamp 2 is quiet dated now and the effects such, but you can get few really good tones from it.

    Electric sitar guitar?

    Having your neck def makes it worth it,deeply scalloped and tall frets are a must. Will Warmoth necks fit your budget ? https://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Necks/Warmoth/Vortex/ChooseConstruction.aspx You can also look at Sitambura's for deisgn inspiration

    Electric sitar guitar?

    Or buy one of those guitar making kits. Though that way, I like the idea of getting an old jackson or esp more. Its less hassle.

    Help Me Pick a Bedroom Rig - HX Stomp + Headphones?

    AKG 271 is a great headphone, 371 is strange. If you like the Harman curve, then it is literally the best headphone out there minus the build quality having some compromises. If you don't like the Harman curve, then other headphones will do better. Going with established classics like the 271...

    Help Me Pick a Bedroom Rig - HX Stomp + Headphones?

    Sonarworks reference has set eq's to make your headphones transparent. Works quiet well actually. Why not just order 560S from Thomann ?

    Electric sitar guitar?

    Cannot help you with the electric sitar, the EHX pedal is not bad but cannot sound like the real thing. Honestly, any harp guitar will get you close enough to that sound. http://www.timdonahue.com/harpguitars.html About Indian music having too many rules, its because of this lot of Indians me...
