not me but isn't Led Zep more assosciated with humbuckers?

nice set up, cool to see manual pedals instead of a multi FX unit, even though they are amazing (multi FX units).

yeah i put all my eggs in one basket at the moment with a guitar, hoping to get a second electric guitar relatively soon

Page mainly used a Les Paul but he did use a Tele on I think the first album. I will try out the SSS until my HSH strat arrives.

I’m a bit old skool and prefer manual pedals so I can see and change the settings.

SSS is a config Iv'e really overlooked, the 4 and bridge position are really cool on a strat.

yeah pedals rule. i would get a HX stomp just so I could have a wildcard pedal but even then

Routing flexibility and presets are incredible compared to a pedalboard.


Really convenient for home recording too, and the amount of tweakbility and flexibility, jesus, it could satisfy even the most autistic audiophile.



What is the argument for using pedals, excluding things like sentimentality or just liking physical feel of tapping things with foot etc?
Back off, Warchild.

For me (and thus the thread title), it’s been sweep picking. There’s just something about it that I can’t get quite right. I can do a chit impression, but I know I’m frauding
It took me a long time to get pretty good at alternating thumb picking so that I could play Appalachian Folk music on the guitar.

what headphones do you like to use when tracking guitar/bass?

need something that lets in no outside sound (closed ear). Beyerdynamics any good?

I use a few different transducers.

Usually Senn HD650's for initial tracking and then check the mix through active monitors. I have some Senn 589 Cs (closed) but I mostly use those when practising has to be quiet.

nice one, cheers dude. aren't the 650s open? I thought those wouldn't be good for tracking but I guess that they would actually sound more amp like and 'open'

I'd highly recommend the AKG240 series....they have several models.
Sweetwater & Amazon have them

I've been tracking with my AKG240DFs for 20+ years and I've done lots of original recordings. (50+ at this time)
Plus, flat frequency response too IIRC.
Unlike many here, I never mix on phones....only for tracking and soloing tracks to clean up/delete any artifacts.

I mix on Tascam S1010m's first at low volume.
If I think the mix is close on those I'll monitor on my KRK Rockit 8's at moderate volume.

But, that's just me so to each their own process.

Carry on.

Yep, the 650's are open. I prefer them over my closed backs for critical listening and I record direct so I don't need isolation.

I suspect like most things it comes down to personal preference. But, it's important to pay attention to frequency response and "colour" of your transducers. The 650's are pretty flat and my monitors are "reference" and calibrated.

ahh yeah I getcha. I just like the idea of having some closed backs because I use amp aims at the moment, yeah Sennheisers seem like a great option. Tbh I'm not planning on using amp aims for that long because of the latency. I'll pick up some entry level Audio Technicas I think for now and save up for the Senns

I think having options is key!

I'm no pro and only my family and friends hear my recordings. But, I like cool audio gear and it's a fun hobby.

I'll check out rough mixes on stereo systems throughout the house as well.

Imo, you should start looking at/saving for some open backs, closed backs, and studio monitors.

I sometimes track with sims as well (NAM). If your computer can keep up, a smaller buffer (512/1024) reduces the latency a lot.

Better yet, always capture a dry DI, so you can re-amp

yeah nice one, I think variety and a few sources is good too. a lot of people check their mixes on their car stereo (the idea that if it sounds good there, it'll sound good anywhere)

i think you need all types of headphones too like you say

Sup Brahs I'm back.

I'm a 98% acoustic player, I have one of my guitars up for sale and want to upgrade. I'm pretty set on a Guild or Gibson, my question is [b/]should I spend some time with a Martin or Taylor first?[/b] I can afford one of those and they're pretty common, I've never really owned a higher end acoustic unless you count a couple of Ovations. Looking at around $500 for a Martin and around $1,600 for a decent Guild or lower end Gibson.
