it reminds me alot of my old guitar sound.. i was using a Squire as my very first guitar and no matter what i did amp wise it had this horribly squeeky sound ( sort of like in your recording) I blaime it on gear because as soon as i got a new guitar it got a whole lot better i blaime the bad sound ( not the playing the playing was nice and clean which is the way it should be even if its simple and slow ) on recording stuff and guitar or amp maybe.. but id like other opinions.. i know that new gear seemed to solve my tone problem ( i still hate my tone ) but its better

Posted by: besip Apr 2 2008, 03:13 AM

so anyway if i'm put away my bad playing.. you thing i'm able to have better tone for sure with new gear??
like i'm set i'm was almost ready to buy spider III 75w....becouse somebody i'm belive MICKEY tell me everything shoot be better like MG Marshall{talking now anout the tone}
so like i'm write befote now i'm just wanna buy no great but decent AMP..becouse hope santa claus let me buy quitar around 1000$ firts...

so like i'm write before now i'm dont wanna just something better like Mg

Posted by: besip Apr 2 2008, 03:16 AM

I would suggest your best bet is to take your guitar into some music stores and try out some different amps in the price range you want to spend. You already know what your current setup sounds like so you can tell which amp specifically improves your sound.

While you're there, try out some other guitars as well - if you take yours with you, you can A-B them side-by-side.

I wouldn't rush into anything, and I sure wouldn't buy without trying first. It's too much money.

Good luck in your quest for better tone.

Good I'D man But I'm not sure i'm be can provide some sound over there i'm will be have buck fever and not be able to play nothing 1 day mine friend visit me and he wanna know how i'm do
i'm guaranteeing you the bad playing what i'm provide here was amazing playing if i'm remember that day..my leg was shaking like never before

Posted by: besip Apr 2 2008, 04:08 AM

and actualy i'm stiil big beginer and i'm not be well with chosing something..actualy the main sound of the bad MG is ok but the tone is bad for sure i'm be try something before i'm buy it and if i'm can have some help{advise} from here i'm be glad..

actualy here is lot of profesional around and like i'm write before they are gonna tell me there not will be soo mutch diferent on tone result betwen Spider or cheap{same price range}Tube or hybrid amp i'm will be smarter

but like i'm write before everything probbaly be better like MG
i'm was thinking also about Marshall avt..the new one cost 499$ so maybe i'm i'm be find use one maybe??

but the main point of topis question still is is my horrible playing can have better tone result with diferent amp ot no becouse thats just me

thank you for your Reply man

thats be aslo helpfuel and i'm can stand this i'm be know that and i'm can just work harder

Posted by: Spreedmaster Apr 3 2008, 10:48 AM

Are you using the overdrive chanel on the MG? I have a MG15DFX and the overdrive channel sounds like muddy garbage with nodecent highs for solo playing. Pick up even a cheap distortion stompbox and you'll see a world of differece. I bought a behringer um300 which was 26 euro andeven though it aint the greatest pedal i the world if you mess with the eq you can get some pretty mean sounds out of the MG, saved me from forkin out for a expensive amp before I get the experience to pick the one thats just right.

And if your willing to, pick up a boss stombox instead like a DS-1 or a Metalzone, which cost a bit more, even if you do buy a new amp, chances are you'll still use them!

I think a Spider or a VOX modeling amp with a 12 ince speaker will help you to find lots of fun sounds to use.

With sounds you like, playing will be a lot more fun too.

It won't make you a better player immediately but maybe make practicing funnier. If you buy a great sounding tube amp, even spend everything you've got on a Mesa Boogie you're still a beginner and through the Mesa you'll still sound beginner.

So I'd suggest a little better amp for starters (or a POD for practicing with headphones if you don't need to practice with a band).
I don't think you need to go for a tube amp just yet.

I think you're handling the playing quite well. String damping is good, I think the picking is alternate the way it should be. But your bends are way off. Don't hurry, bend to the point you wanna reach, stay for a second or two. Don't rush it and end up going too short or too far.

In short, I suggest to get a modeling amp with a 12 inch speaker - then practice your bends ;-)

Spreedmaster--ohh the Overdrive is totaly bad over there but i'm play over digitech DF7.


Thanks MikeM i'm realy glad for respond...i'm know on that impovisation the Bend are Horrible and not every pick are Great..usualy i'm play every day in diferent level{if i'm talk about improv }I'm know the better Amp don't made me better player.Actualy if i'm put away my not profesional playing there is aslo lot of squeaky
sounds and what i'm wanna know{mine main question} do you thing if i'm be record exacly same stuff with Diferent AMP do i'm can avoid those squeaky sound and the record be sound better??? or The main problem (talking just abouth the squeaky sound} so the problem is my playing an any Amp not help me???

hope you know what i'm mean lets imagine same record on VoX spider or Tube AMP...do you gonna here the same scarry squeaky sound??? or not

any straight answer help!!!!!

Thanks

1 guy also tell me something..he was try 1 day Esp viper 50 and he says he was a tone problem with 2 high string

Posted by: MickeM Apr 4 2008, 08:37 AM

What kind of tone problem?

Posted by: MickeM Apr 4 2008, 08:45 AM

I'm not sure about the squeeky sound that you're refering to. With a tube amp it's possible you'd get other difficulties to match since they are more dynamic in tone.

About the amps you suggest I'm curious about the Fander Champ but I never heard it. The Vox valvetronic would be good I belive, it's got a 12 inch speaker and people seem to like it here.

Posted by: Sircraigery Apr 4 2008, 08:55 AM

I would suggest a stomp box, and going to get your guitar set-up by a professional guitar tech.

I suggest a stomp box because on most small amps the distortion channel channel sounds like hell (actually i think most solid state amps's distortion sounds bad...not to mention smaller/cheaper amps. And yes there are a couple better ones likes line6 and vox amps...yada yada).

I would recommend the guitar set up because the tech will adjust everything, intonation, action, pick-up height so it's optimal for whatever music you want to play. And it's much cheaper than you might think, I got my old one setup (even though I thought I knew what I was doing before) for $30 CDN....well worth it! It played and sounded much better.

Other than that....most of your tone is in your fingers. Slash would still sound like Slash playing through my equipment, with surprisingly little difference in tone...or not as much as you might think. Keep practicing man, for 6 months, your doing good. The tone will come. I played forever (like 4 years) before it happened to me....one day just I realized I had my own sound. Like I say, it takes a while, but when it happens...it happens quick.

same like me you all ready heard the squeaky on my B-min penta playing specialy when i'm try vibrate some note on High E or B string .i'm not sure if other people have same problem with the 2 higest string on Esp viper 50 but the guy tell me he aslo try play over some good Marshall but still those 2 string do not provide good Sound

Posted by: besip Apr 5 2008, 02:15 AM

i'm not thing Slash be sound good on my quitar with my Amp..if yes..the problem is solved

actualy i'm was allready do the adjustment on Samash couple month ago when i'm take all string of and restring the quitar..the 2 higest string then sound baaadd bad even if they made the adjustment the quitar don't sound great on them..maybe i'm have to try 1 more thing play louder like usualy somebody tell me somethime thats solve the problem then..now is night so i'm will try this at morning but i'm not waiting for something great becouse i'm still have Viper 50 and MG

actualy soon or later i'm wanna buy better quitar something Like Ibanez 2550Z or something with same price range{ Esp jackson}..but the Mg i'm wanna update quikly i'm can say almost now becouse isn't good

i'm know better gear don't made me better player but just hoping on same situaction or song the tone be better even just little..
Stomp box is probaly Good I'D but not for the MG

thanks for answer man

Posted by: bladzerok Apr 5 2008, 02:26 AM

well this is only my personnal opinion, BUT:
i dont think you should go for an expensive guitar for now... you know, ive been playing for about 5 years and i still play with a bronze BC rich warlock, wich is in the same price range of the viper 50, and my BC still do the job, i dont think ill upgrade it this year
i think you should get yourself a good distortion pedal and stick with your marshall mg

(thats what i did with my fender frontman 15r, i bough a boss ds 1 and a digitech grunge distortion to get better sounds, instead of buying a new amp right away )

by the way your playing is good, i wasnt near to your talent when i was playing for 6 month

Posted by: besip Apr 5 2008, 02:40 AM

thanks man actualy i'm heard lot of recomendations ..and dont worry i'm not gonna buy the quitar now ..but hope if i'm increase my playing to better level becouse i'm stuck with 3 finger power chords i'm will be like to buy the quitar aroun chrismas time..probaly ..i'm know i'm not in level to buy the quitar now but like i'm say..actualy lot of people is like you to not recomendet to buy new quitar yet..so i'm glad form 1 recomedations from Pavel..he say..you are on evolutin now so good quitar with good neck can help you

and about the quitar..the friend what tell me about his bad expirience with Viper 50 has aslo BC Rich quitar and he says he likes to play the BC rich 100% more like Viper 50..maybe i'm god just bad setup quitar maybe i'm just have bad Amp maybe i'm just play bad and nothig is wrong with the gear

thats why i'm post here the horible video and try to find it

oo and thanks for the compliment and for reply

Rene

and actualy i'm have Digitech DF 7

Posted by: besip Apr 5 2008, 06:49 PM

Maybe that's becuase the action is too low. If the strings come too close to the pickups there is always a risk of the string (when bent or on vibrato) the sound will die as soon as it's not right on top of the core.
Try raising the bridge height a bit.
