if you plug your git ( thats turned full up ) into your amp thats adjusted for normal volume
how much hiss is there? ( no pedals )
Q : out of interest how long have you been playing ?
you might like to try plugging your git into a mates amp to see if its working

Re: guitar hiss (4 replies, posted in Introduce yourself)
BRIEFLY : make sure your guitar is turned up max then adjust amp for required max volume for that space
you can then use the vol on your git to back it off a bit
IE.the higher you turn up your amp/fx the greater the hiss and noise
overdrive uses hell of a lot gain which produces a lot of hiss
a noise gate might be a good investment if you want that type of sound

Re: Guitar make / type (5 replies, posted in Guitars)
if you cant get any info from the forums . . . list it on bay
@say £800 and let ebay relist -10% each 30 days ( list duration )
if its a collectable then the buyers will manifest when the price
is somewhere near what people are prepared to pay
if it doesn't sell and nobodies interested give it some needy kid
ps if somebody buys within 5 secs of listing . . youv'e defo underpriced it
best of luck

Re: Guitar make / type (5 replies, posted in Guitars)
this guitar is a les paul ( gibson ) copy
its a solid guitar
the make cant be determined by the headstock ??
its value is probably that of any generic les paul copy
£50-£200
whether its playable could only be determined by hands on inspection
if you're buying from the photo beware . . .playing wise it could be a complete pile
of shite or setup fantastic and a dream to play
from the pic it looks like its been played a lot . . .so the frets might be worn
are you buying this guitar??

Re: Gibson les pauls - should I.modify the mini etune one (1 replies, posted in Guitars)
yes. . . . if you want a guitar ( or any item of any worth ) to retain its value
restrain from any modification whatsoever unless it can be transparently
reversed ie removing say a thumb print of the plec guard
if you want to experiment get a north korean strat or something worse

Re: new chord finding tool (1 replies, posted in Resources)
this would be a great tool for explaining the caged system to beginners
perhaps there could be a way of highlighting the 5 main voicing for each chord?
it could well explain/demonstate the difference between say D. . .D/A . . .D/F# ....etc
well done ♪dbx♪

Re: Leeds guitar stores? (3 replies, posted in Guitars)
Hi everyone. I’m new to the forum and was hoping for recommendations for guitar stores in and around Leeds carrying decent stock (looking at Fender specifically as considering investing in a US Strat, but also looking at decent alternatives offering a similar range of tones).
My closest store is PMT Leeds where I bought my last guitar from. They have a great range but I didn’t have the best experience trying to get a fault resolved on my new guitar last time I made a big purchase. I’m not ruling them out by any means but I’m looking around the area for other options.
I’m happy to travel around: Manchester, Wakefield and York are within easy striking distance but so many of my go-to stores 10 years ago seem to have sadly disappeared in the last 18 months.
Someone suggested the Gear4Music store in York which I hadn’t realised existed. Can anyone recommend this store or anything else in the area?
Cheers
Tom
what fault was not resolved ?

Re: Active - passive powered speakers for me and son (1 replies, posted in Recording / Studio)
try sorting a monitoring system using . CLOSED BACK headphones..you need to control what you're listening to
blasting a small room environment is definitely not the right way to go
with quality CLOSED BACK headphones most of the room noise
( esp live drums ) can be eliminated ( in the headphones )
damping the drum kits can also help + some nice tight sounds can be accomplished if done properly

Re: Left hand acoustic guitar – for beginners (3 replies, posted in Guitars)
personally i'd advise anybody starting from scatch to go the 'right handed' route
lets face it ..most of the complicated stuff is done with the left hand anyway???
it depends how far into it you are
would you play a ' left handed 'piano etc if such instruments existed??..doubt it
just make sure the guitar has a good action and is set up right
i've played high end gits that are set up wrong and play shite..so setting up is the priority
use a firm pick and NEVER be tempted to use a capo when learning..EVER!!
although a capo can be useful for effect sometimes or as a quick fix for workflow
and key transposing issues

Re: Left hand acoustic guitar – for beginners (3 replies, posted in Guitars)
remove all the strings
turn the guitar over and restring as you would a left handed guitar
NOT FORGETTING....The nut slots will the wrong way round ( ie the thickest slot width will be at the bottom and
so on ) ...so you will need a ' left handed' nut
+there might be an issue with the slot widths at the bridge
the intonation will also need adjusting since the break points over the
bridge will be reversed
an acoustic style bridge intonation adjustment is very limited so
that would be the biggest issue..but not impossible to rectify
if you bought a git with a tunomatic bridge ( usually an electric git ) this wouldn't be an issue at all
since each strings intonation would be individually adjustable ( as would the height of the strings ( action )

Re: Lexicon Omega or something else?? (5 replies, posted in Recording / Studio)
most daws have a tempo track so tempo changes can be mapped out
a simpler solution would be to redo your guitar and vocals to the new drum/bass track
then submit it back to the studio..editing and arranging is straight forward if the contents
of the tracks are to a strict tempo ( or controlled variations )
all modern popular music is done in high end daws so when you do your next song
use a sequencer ( daw) and pick and select a tempo for the track..
if you want the song to speed up slow down or fluctuate you can program tempo changes if need be
always do your vocals and gits etc AFTER you have selected a tempo
and recorded a basic click or drum track
if you are passing takes to a studio keep them reverb free and as clean as possible
there are load of free daws to be downloaded..do a bit of googling
