Ideal guitar to test an amp?
« on: June 23, 2017, 12:02:16 PM »
Hi folks,

I'm about to test an amp this weekend. I have SS, SSS, and HH pickup guitars. All stock and no crazy wirings in them. Isa lang pwede kong dalhin. Any suggestions on what I should bring to test the amp with? Dadala rin ako TS type pedal for boost.

Will test clean, edge-of-breakup, crunch and saturated distortion tones as amp.

Thanks!  :)

+1. pero kung general, siguro an HSH guitar with coil tapping would give most coverage. tapos BYOB. Bring your own board. :D

Right now...i'm just going to bring whatever na maisipan ko dalhin.  :)

Kahit ano basta may Hiyaw bro.

Joke!

Bring a versatile guitar with lots of different tones on tap like a Les Paul with Jimmy Page wiring or an HSH Strat with coil split.

Anong guitars ba ang nasa stable mo ngayon bro?

@Skybox - Tele, Strat and Les Paul. Hindi ko alam kung humihiyaw silang lahat e. haha

@r_chino18 Orange Dual Terror. Will test all the tones possible mula Clean hanggang saturated distortion

Nakita ko itong video...it sounds good on all guitars (at least on the crunch side of things). I happen to have all of them fortunately.

I dunno about the coil tap suggestions though. I've got 2 guitars that have coil tap and they never respond to pedals and amps like a real single coil.

That's a pretty nice amp. I'd bring an LP and Strat, if possible. Fat humbuckers and single coil chime. :)

+1  so best to go for your favorite guitar...if it happens to be a strat and you later realize that the amp doesn't respond well to humbuckers you can always GAS for another amp   :idea:

At least this is what I'd do myself

Apparently, It looks like I trapped myself into a corner here.  :lol:

All my guitars play well (at least para sa kin)..except for the Telecaster siguro kasi manipis masyado yung strings na nailagay ko. It still sounds good though.

Meron pa ko 2 days para mag decide. So thanks for your suggestions and keep 'em coming.  :)
