i agree with yearling.. rekta is the best!
but when gig amps suck, i use:
either my relic strat (sss kasi lead namin naka SG na, para hiwalay ang sound) or my H-H strat (kun kinakailangan).
Korg PitchBlack GTX NG-100 (Noise Gate) BOSS SD-1 (Stacked MOD) - for simple OD/semi-Clean rhythms..
HardWire TL-2 (Metal Distortion) - versatile kasi, not nasal, from classic rock to metal ang versatility.
Boston FL-100 (Flanger) - i usually use for bridge parts of songs.
MimicMAn (Delay) - for extra body of slow songs or just to add color to breaks.
by the way, Pop-Punk pala banda namin kaya mejo hindi hardcore.. kulitan lang, hehehehe..
But when it comes to guitars. The best thing to use is:
LP, SG, GAX30s
You must be using humbuckers so that you can get that palm mute thing going on.
sorry man, i beg to diasagree... hindi lang humbuckers.. i can till 'palm-mute' kahit single coils. in my 27years of holding a guitar, i could be wrong..
maybe Johnny Ramone too...
to each of his own.. different stroke for different folks.
just don't put it in general.
pag punks siguro mas maganda tunog na raw wala ng effects, straight amp na lang tapos mo-hawk hair + leather jacket + spikes
tapos cheap ass guitar gamitin mo para pagkatapos ng set ihampas mo sa semento wasakin mo..tapos pagwasak na gitara dampot sa bulsa yosi at sindihan bigla.
yan Hardcore Punk Rock from Great Britain! Anarchy in the UK!!!!
kaso.. Pop Punk lang kami eh.. cheesey..
me too. i'm enjoying this thread. i'm a Bluesman at hear but i play pop punk for fun and i just love the Energy. mejo i'm too old to play hardcore punk eh, kaya pop punk nalang para masaya..
i remember way back in the 80's.. mmm.. 1986 to be exact.. i was in third year high school and the punk scene was so ok! i mean, genres and fashion was something to look forward to everyday! punks were usually at SM north edsa, wearing creepers, ripped jeans, denim/leather jackets, ala pang DM's nun, kaya combat boots pa! we used either Beer or Egg white or spray-net to keep those maw-hawk or spikes up! chains and leathers were present and the shades na parang 'head-band'! whoah.. time warp. and the famous graffiti or vandals we do is usually the big 'A' with a circle around and a matching 'Anarchy in the UK' or 'Hardcore'.. we listen to cassettes then or to XB102. hehehe, dead ends, dead hungy, twisted red cross, GI & the Idiots, betrayed, Urban Bandits etc..
hehehehe.. those were the early days.. sample pics how my generation looks like before? check these out..
hehehe.. yep, tanders na me..
i just wanna share:
Have you ever wondered what the Philippine Hardcore scene looks like in the 80s? Well, there is this great website that have detailed what was going on here in MANILA in the aspect of HARDCORE as we know. This KABAYAN of mine have written what was really happening in terms of the Underground scene here in the Philippines that would mezmerized you enough to reflect on it. I remember back in High School when there was this controversy regarding Satanic Groups that were spreading around bad vibes. One group in my vicinity was named "HAVOC" and this created rumors and deception back then. YUP!! I know someone who was even called on the Principal Office just to shed light on the HAVOC's matter. I may say it was one controversial issue indeed especially for Catholic Schools. Good thing it was resolved. Hmmmp!! There's was even a joke that time that "HAVOC" means HABA BUHOK (Long Hair in English). He He He!! So let's deviate for a while about NEW WAVE and let's travel back again to the late 70s and 80s but this time with a "KISS ASS" attitude". So for my blogpost today I decided to share this article to you guys from that very comprehensive website I'm talking about. PROUD TO BE PINOY!!

Orignally the word "Punk" was a name of a magazine that was in circulation during the mid 70's that caters to the crowd of a bar in New York named CBGB (“Country Bluegrass Blues”). where the slits, patty smith, blonde, the ramones, television, MC5, the new york dolls, velvet underground etc. performs and were regulars. makakatugtog ka lang dun pag may originals ka, parang Dredd, now with the artists playing, sila lang ang usually laman ng "Punk Magazine", then eventually, when performing, the bar goers/followers call them "Punk Rock".
at first they dont like to be called as such. eventually, it is.. share ko lang.
notice the backgound of the Ramones.. hehehehe..as much as i like the two bands, kids these days also pretty much think it's green day and blink 182 that started the punk movement, lol.
i read somewhere that black flag reached the peak of it's popularity with dez as their vocalist. don't quote me on that though
hehehe, korek! m thankful though for the two bands (Blink 182 & Green Day) for bringing it out, it's the fusion of the generations. old school sound + modern feel + modern/classic look + fun + attitude (a little lighter though) = their POP PUNK. now, specially blink, they brought out humor to the genre. although it's still popular music & not as pure as "Punk Rock", the roots are still in there.. and also, hehehe, another excuse for me (for my age) not to go Harcore.. hheheehhehe..
to add injury, kids these days often refer to as EMO as post-Punk or hardcore.. beg to disagree.. it's more like Gothic, parang when Souxie sounded punkish in the early days but became deep and gothic later.. oh well..
btw, you're right, Dez Cadena was the Vox during it's mid peak of their popularity.. and later on turned to guitar because of his worn-out-voice (wala kasing training daw..) then later on Rollins step on board.. mga 1981 siguro un.. hehe, i was 11 then..
anyway, baka ma-OT: pedal set up ko is :
BOSS SD-1 (stacked mod) > HardWire TL-2 > BE FL-100 > MimicMan Delay
but sometimes the TL-2 does the job alone! hehehehehe..
