Tell your guitar, style of play, and settings for your amp. Mention a pedal too.

    My main is a PRS Custom 24-08 SE. Also have an Epiphone ES-335 Figured (Inspired By Gibson line), a Deluxe Strat Plus, and a Samick KJ-560 (the pointy headstock) upgraded with EMGs. I’m a pretty generic beginnermediate blues/rock dad type of player. I like to play Rocksmith 2014, and use a Radial Bigshot ABY to play through my own rig, as that has really helped with things like muting and selective string picking (as well as dialing in tones) versus just using the game audio.

    My amp is an Orange Crush 35rt, but I also use a Fender Mustang Micro for late practice. I generally play through the dirty channel with the gain low and volume knob on my guitar rolled back. The EQ is set to emphasize mids then treble, bass is low but present.

    My pedalboard is posted over in !guitarpedals@lemmy.world (share yours too!).

    FYI there’s a !guitaramps@lemmy.world community, too.

      @baronvonj @JoumanaKayrouz Nice gear! How do you like your Epi 335? How long have you had it? I’ve always wanted a Gibson 335 but it won’t be in my budget for the foreseeable future (damn mortgage interest rates) so I’m considering an Epi one. Thanks

        I’ve had it about 18 months. Feels great, sounds great. I think I need to adjust the pickup heights though, as the volume between the two is a bit further apart than I’d like.

        … I have 18? My wife might be right. 😂 In my defense, I’ve had the Vox Wah since high school ('93 ish) and the three Danelectros since mid-college (like '98 or '99). The Pitch Fork, Soul Food, RC-5, Tremolo, Micro Flanger, Phase 95, Carcosa, and most of the cost of the El Capistan were all gifts for birthday, father’s day, and christmas over the last 2-3 years. Playing Rocksmith through my rig has been motivational to get the variety of pedals to try and get comparable tones. I suppose getting a DI and Amplitube or a DAW would have been another route, but I like being able to just reach out and tweak the knobs.

        I would sign up for lessons but we’re putting our son in School of Rock (drums) so it’s Professor YouTube for me.
