Pieces of gear that everyone seems to like, except you...

[paltic]

This. Personally, I'm a huge offset fan. My first serious electric was a Mustang copy and my two current gigging guitars are Jagmaster derivatives. On Bolt Thrower's point about Jaguars/JMs (by extension) being hipstery guitars, I rarely see those around shows here. At least the ones I go to. I've seen the Itchyworms, Up Dharma Down, The Royal and Candyaudioline use them and that's about it. Oh yeah, Lochness too. Compared to the number of bands on Telecasters, Strats, Les Pauls et al, a lot of the "trendier" bands seem to use those more often than offsets. That's just what I see tho.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of Gibson shapes. The only Gibson shape I'm into is the ES but if it was a question of classy semi-hollow, I'd go Rickenbacker if I could. Never got the Les Paul, really and I only like the SG if it's a bass. There are just some things you could do with a stock Jaguar or Jazzmaster that you can't with other guitars unless they have a Vibrola or someth.

Back on topic, I'm not a fan of "metal guitars" (BC Rich, some Jackson) and I typically don't like humbuckers unless they're the really bright ones.

thanks for the backup man...at least na-gets mo sinasabi ko. title nga ng thread e: pieces of gear that everyone(karamihan) seems to like, except you  ...at least medyo pareho tayo ng sense of aethetics (I'll dig a Jackson/Charvel Surfcaster though)...anyway kaniya-kaniya tlagang trip

Two non-Fender offsets that I want, a seafoam green Charvel Surfcaster and a Mosrite Avenger. I also love how an Ibanez ORM-1 looks in white.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of multi-effects and software like Guitar Rig or Amplitube. I was always a fan of the technical side of things and full pedalboards just feel a lot more "personal" to me. More than just creating patches and whatnot on a multieffect or a DAW. I use Guitar Rig but only for amp simulation as I do not have an adequate room recording setup as of yet. I won't record any sounds that I can't produce out of my guitar/pedals/playing. Multi-effects are convenient and you could make really good sounds with em but I want a palette I could switch up. It's not about digital/analog, it's having that kind of relationship with your board.

yun exactly gusto kong Charvel Surfcaster yung seafoam green. yung ORM-1 din mapa-black or white ok sa akin. tas yung mga 90s Ibanez Talman   

[x_taxi]

stompboxes!

 

[sonikyut]

pedals with uber big enclosure/casing like big muff 

kaya binenta ko sa akin dati (big muff), ang laki 

[wonson3]

Siguro bad experience lang sa tube amps hehe.

2 gigs na dumaan na nagkataong tube type yung amps tapos masyadong madumi yung tunog (para sakin).

Pati minsan kahit gusto ko clean sound lang, may natural dirt siya. Di ko gusto yun 

Oh well kanya-kanyang trip nga naman, nasanay lang siguro ako sa solid-state.

Q: Ang Orange amps ay solid-state noh?  Yung tipong ganung tunog solve nako doon haha

Nope. May tube din

Even the treble. Their razor sharp high frequencies will make your ears bleed.

yes, you might not realize it, but you'd be surprised that not everyone can actually "operate" your pedal board ... some people would go and ask "why are there 3 kinds of gain pedals? isnt 1 enough?" and then you show them the sounds and how they are set up, and they go... "ahhh, ganon pala"

the only reason id go for multifx is because of budget, size and weight options ... if those are taken care of, i'd like the mothership pedal board

Me too

I find pedals with a lot of knobs very stressful to tweak

Pag hinalo naman sa ibang pedal at gagamitin for modulation nagiging ngo ngo ang tunog.

IDK 'bout this but my copy's high freq isn't that bad. It's just the bass. I did enjoy it for a couple hours after the purchase then I swear that piece of equipment. And for the price, I paid 300 plus tax. I just hate it. I should have bought the 20 dollar marshmallow earpiece.

Flanger pedal - limited application

Octave Fuzz - limited application

baseball bat-sized guitar necks - hard to hold, hard to play

thin-flat-wide Ibanez guitar necks - hard to play chords

digitally-flavored od/distortion - too shrill and buzzy; sakit sa tenga

Explorer-shaped guitar - just doesn't feel right for me, whether playing standing-up or sitting down

COSM technology - not quite there yet

Celestion Vintage 30 speakers - too much mid-range tone

Bakersfield tele pickups/tone - too much treble; sakit sa tenga

335-sized guitar - I love the tone, but it makes me look like a midget

Fender 57/62 pickups - great for clean sounds, but don't seem to sound good with od imho

i use mine as modulation, hindi naman ngongo ang tunog.

TS9 and 808,too overrated!
Metal Zone,too overrated din!
MIC peavey bandit,don't wanna say something about it,it just sucks!

D lang bagay sa playing mo 808 hehehe! Sakin bagay eh hihihihi!

mejo na-ngongongoan ako kasi.hehhe pero kung gtr+TS808+fender tube amp=WIN!

[rockizta123]

Floyd rose bridges - Pain in the a** to tune.

zoom pedals - matining/ngongo/mejo mahirap itweak for me.

fuzz pedals - di ko trip yung tunog maybe some other time

dunlop 9s - parang ang tigas/kapal pa rin for me, ok din naman tumunog, madalas kasi gamit ko d'addario super light

bass/guitars na may matabang neck - sakit sa kamay, though yung fernando musicman copy ko medyo mataba nga yung neck, I'm getting used to it.

Lava cables - too pricey and ikaw pa mismo magaassemble, looks fun, but to think of the errors, ang mahal mahal nun. just my opinion.

multi-effects with 12AX7 tubes. oh well, tube hype nga naman...

Try opening a Behringer multi-effects unit with a 12AX7 tube inside. You'll notice an LED behind it. That's what's causing the "heating up" of the tube during normal operation. LOL

the LED cooks the tube. brilliant!

Di lang naman Behringer guilty diyan.  Crate's Blue Voodoo amps also use the same trickery. As well as a lot of ART mic preamps.  The question is, if you remove the 12AX7, will the sound change?  If yes, then the tube has a role to play in the circuit.  If no, then you've been duped.

[raidow]

strats (w/ single coils) - looks too basic, just me. and really hate it when used by a metal band, again, just me. 

tube amps - way out of my budget. fragile. but will definitely take one if it's FREE. lol 

multieffects of any sort - haven't tried one live. i just have this feeling that it will take too much time for me to set it up on stage to make it sound the way i wanted. hehe

*magpost pa ko soon. hehe
