Decided to get a rather inexpensive, but not too bad delay pedal-

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/79c227eb.jpg

23 for that. Most of the reviews/demos of it have shown it to be pretty good at what it does and for that price I can't really complain. But it will be nice to have a proper delay effect to add to my chain.

That pedal is awesome for the price. I bought it as a stop gap until I could decide what higher end one I wanted, but still havent bothered to upgrade a year later.

Nice. Encouraging to hear about it from someone who's tried the pedal! Looking forward to getting my mitts on it (should be Saturday) to see what it can do!

I was going back and forth between getting the Donner Yellow Fall or the Behringer VD400. I think either of them would have been good, but I trusted the metal casing on the Donner over the plastic casing on the VD400 so that's what I went with. I have heard that Behringer do a really good job cloning the sound and circuitry pretty closely from the pedals they are mimicing so I'd open to trying one out for a different effect, but I'm close to having a pretty complete roster of pedals for my chain now- compression, Wah, Fuzz, Overdrive, Reverb and Delay are now (or soon to be) on my board, along with the little BP90 mutli effect box.

Not sure what else to go for. Maybe a Flanger /Chorus pedal.

A Jackson USA King V with a Floyd Rose (not sure what year, probably around 2014-2016 as I bought it in 2016).
A cheap Jackson Dinky 7 string I bought a few years ago.

some acoustic made by Harley Benton. It sounds really good but the scale length is 22" so it feels cramped.

Also a strat that a friend put together for me. it sounds like a strat (kind of. I did the wiring and the neck pickup sounds fat and creamy like a JM rhythm circuit, middle sounds chunky and blocky, bridge has that Jaguar jangle/glittery sound), but has a Jazzmaster/Jaguar Tremolo system. It's cool cus in 2-pickup configs (position 2 and 4), it ignores the middle. 2 is Neck+Bridge, 4 is Neck+Bridge phase reverse (like on a Fender Mustang)
I love the guitar but I hate setting it up.

I've had a few Jazzmasters, Mustangs, and Jaguars in the past, but I regrettably sold them. Now it's kinda hard to find those left-handed without paying a ton of money, so I don't think I'll ever have one again.

Also pictured are my Polyend Tracker and Elektron Digitone, which is what I use for 90% of the music I make. Guitars are kinda just recorded into the Polyend as samples then get chopped up.

I haven't used the Delay for anything too crazy, yet, but I have found that, in combination with the Compressor (Compressor> Wah> Delay), it does help buff the response I get from the Wah pedal. Really helps it cut through the rest of the chain better than it can on it's own.

Here's a little Call of Ktulu riff that I jammed around on with it. Again, the delay isn't dialed up much but the tiny amount that is there helps that wah shriek stick around a little bit more in the mix-

I still have my Epiphone Explorer and a Peavey Millenium 5 (bass). I used to have a few other guitars but it's been years since I've played, let alone gigged.

I've sold my Rumble and TNT amps and just have my Behringer 60W stored.

This is a ripoff of another band's song (we never did this live, was just fun to play and fuck around with) but yep, that's me on bass.

That's awesome! Your bass sounds really good in this mix.

Thanks mate. I might have slightly eked up the bass on the old multitrack so you can actually hear it, hah. The boys didn't notice.

Going by that ^ and the fact that the HB logo on the acoustic headstock isn't flipped which it would be if the image was mirrored, it's safe to say that the green strat with the moustachio'd headstock is indeed a lefty.

I decided to finally start uploading shit to Youtube. Most of what I have recordings of at the minute are usually just rough cuts and demos though I will hopefully make more finished/polished stuff eventually.

Fully shitposting here, but that would sound so much better with fingers rather than a plectrum! :)

edit - ah fuck, wasn't meant to be dickish, just some songs sound better with your fingers. BTW mods, not a TOU violation, we are talking about playing a musical instrument.

Also, Orion would be such a great song to play and listen back with less distortion. Maybe a little +1 or +2 on the bass so you can hear yourself but it's still one of my favourite stamina tracks to play.
No, I'm not that one.
That is fingers!

I don't use picks because I can't get used to the feel of them.

Probably could use a little more bass in the mix but usually when I send more bass frequencies out of the bass itself, I notice the wah pedal tends to not punch through as much.

At some point I want to look into doing a bit of signal splitting so I can keep more low end and have a punchier Wah pedal.

Thinking something like

Bass directly into Line Selector:
+ Line A - Compressor > Wah> Delay> Fuzz
+ Line B - EQ pedal boosting Bass

A + B signals then get output simultaneously into the rest of the chain.

In theory that would let me tweak the Wah pedal so it's even crunchier and punchier whilst also letting me keep the overall thick sound with a clean low end keeping it's presence, unaffected by the other effects.

I'm still waiting on my Cliff Burton Tribute Power Wah Fuzz to arrive (Christmas haul!) and I've heard that they are generally a fair bit more treble/high mid based than the Dual Bass Wah so I might have an easier time getting that to punch through without having to cut the bass early on in my signal.

At some point I need to have a proper sit down and learn the Orion intrumental. I've got a few parts of it down, but never finished it.

Too lazy for pics at the moment. I got big into guitar in my teens. Still play, but not nearly as much. I've bought or have been gifted several over the years. Still love playing though. I have too many than I need, but most have sentimental value and I can't get rid of them.

-Peavey Limited Edition American Flag - my first. Got it because it looked cool in typical teenage fashion. Still a good guitar though.
-BC Rich KKV - Another teenage buy.
-Epiphone SG - Graduation gift from grandparents and got it because I always wanted an SG.
-An Epiphone acoustic I had to get for guitar class in high school. The nut is worn out and I never fixed it.
-Fender Avalon - Gift from a cousin who is big into guitars and was going to sell it for cheap.
-Gibson SG - Another gift from my cousin. A late 90s model. I love it and it's my favorite. Finally glad to have one.

I also got a Gene Autry Melody Ranch acoustic I inherited. It was my great grandmother's.

Thank you!!

For the most part it is what I was looking at. It was between the 314 in the OP (spruce top) and American Dream 24 (mahogany top). Ended up going for the 324 which is all mahogany yet still has a great dynamic range. Sounds incredible.

My dad gave me his original 1970s era Ovation acoustic as a birthday present a few years ago, I should play more.

I have an electric and bass but didn't buy either so I don't really know much about them.

The guitar is a Cruiser by Crafter and the bass is a Vantage. My amp is a Line 6 Spider Jam which I did buy.

But what's a good guitar for beginners to start off with? What about for playing punk rock? Shoegaze? I want to finally learn this year.
can't go wrong with a Tele or Jazzmaster.

Telecasters are surprisingly versatile, and Jazzmasters are pretty much "the shoegaze guitar" (tho tbh, any guitar can get a shoegaze sound, jazzmasters are really good for that glidey my bloody valentine sound)

my first guitar was a mexi fender strat. i almost exclusively play punk/pop punk on it lol. like BucketCat said, Telecaster also really good (Sum 41), Strat (Green Day/Blink), epi les paul (basically everyone else)

HSS Strat 100%. They are among the easiest electric guitars to play (something you shouldn't ever take for granted). They are very versatile, but for punk or anything harder you want a humbucker in the bridge (hence the HSS). A squier is fine, a Mexican stratocaster is the ABSOLUTE most you should spend if you are learning.

If you are serious about learning, spend the extra $50 or so to get it properly setup (makes a huuuge difference, and you will get frustrated much faster if it isnt comfortable to play. Probably the cheapest way to improve any guitar). I'd personally recommend using 10 gauge strings, but 9s are fine too.

Edit: Bonus tip, if wherever you get it setup will replace the nut for free, invest the $20 for a Graph Tech nut (make sure it's the right size of course). Everything else should be fine/nothing else is worth the $ required.

New Tubescreamer FINALLY arrived.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/762609cc.jpg

Did a little playtest with it. I think this might end up replacing the Bass Big Muff on my chain tbh. Responds a lot better to the Wah pedal and generally helps push through a more biting tone at the upper end without sounding quite as fizzly.

Some of the overdriven sound is the BP90 using an Ampeg SVT setting and some of it is the Tubescreamer. Cliff set up always had some moderate gain/distortion on it, which I'm assuming actually comes from his amplifier, then on some of his lead parts, like For Whom the Bell Toll, I think he kicks on the Tube Screamer to really boost the sound. Either that or it's the Tubescreamer that's almost always on and the Amplifier overdive that gets kicked on for select bits. Still gotta toy around with my set up and see which way around suits me.

Just waiting in that Morley Cliff Burton Tribute Power Wah Fuzz to finally arrive as that will probably replace the PBA-2 Dual Bass Wah.

Budget guitars aren't too shabby these days.

Epiphones are the much more affordable offshoot of Gibsons (which are crazy expensive), Squiers are good budget range Fenders, Ibanez Gios are also pretty decent.

Don't really need expensive gear when the budget options are very playable.

I've got a sunburst 40th anniversary edition Stratocaster. It's showing its age now and needs a bit of work. When I restrung it recently, I noticed where the low e tuning peg connects to the headstock is about to come off and won't let me wind the string properly.

On the flip side, I bought a cheap Squire Telecaster during the Christmas break. I'm happy with it so far.
