Guitar Player's Thread

Saw buckethead last night (and "that1guy" who I recommend youtubing his live shows for an unbelievable one man jam machine.) But I also recommend that YOU DO NOT MISS your chance to see Buckethead if he comes around. A truly epic show with so many hilarious and epic things to tell. I got a halloween mask from him as he handed out some halloween toys to the audience in the front row, and he was just hilarious and awesome the whole night. Ohhh Buckethead :worship:
 
Whats up bodom forum, i dont need to tell you whats up, because you know what ive vbeeen up to on a friday night at college

I know some people find it old, repetitive, and offensive, but i have the right as a human being to post on forums whenever i want to and in any state of body and mind.

To make this post guitar-related i ask this question...

What kind of sound do you think makes for a better metal tone?

1. Tight, compressed, boxy (mesaboogie, engl, ect.)
2> Slightly saggy but still tight (5150, lee jackson, JSX, ECT)
3. Saggy but still high gain (Marshall)

oknight

To be honest, I like all of those.

I think when the Lee Jackson is tight (alla Sinergy) that's probably the best.
But I really love all of those.

Just do not go saggy like some Laneys. They can produce some horrible tones. Some good too though :p.
Marshall saggy is win.

So all in all, this message is completely useless.
What about some tone examples?

Oh yea, and cool vid. Tone sounds kickass too.

nice vid. and #1 works best for me.
 
5150, mesa and stuff, is metal for me


Marshall i cant stomach, even if my life depended on it.


This all being said, ive heard mesa's that are saggier than a 5150, and a 5150 thats about as tight as you can get it
