Is my Px5d broken or sum or is it that the Px4d is so much better I'm so confused, I've tried to tease Muris with my stupid questions about how he gets his guitar sounds so good, and have so much distortion, I can't get nothing out of mine, and now this guy comes and plays with awesome sounding tones, nothing like what comes out of my shiy little box... My fellow Px5d owner's, tell me what is wrong, is it broken???? Man, I noticed that all I've been doing in the forums lately is to bitch about something Well, still, help me Cheers You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If you play on somebody elses equipment you will still not sound like that person, simply because you are not this person, you way of picking is different, your vibrato is different, your phrasing is different, everything is different.

I don't say the gear is not important because it is, but the main things that produce the sound are hands, and those micro-movements of one player can never be the same as others.

Might be broken tho,who knows. But test it more,each tone needs more extra tweaking if you use different guitar etc. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Im not so sure !! Seen other flicks of him, he's making clinics for Marshall along these other gear reviews. don't know how he recorded the tone either, maybe miked up through an expensive PA with large speakers that adds a bit of cone fullness to the sound. As oppsed to direct into a PC or the sound you'd get in headphones. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

But I don't think it's broken tho.... What kind of cable do you use to connect it to straight to your soundcard???? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'll be reading this thread like crazy lol Yeah, same here, but I can't get that thick sound, when f.e. he pulls a mega massive shred from his sleave, like in the rocking tune advanced lesson he makes that huge run which sounds super cool, but I don't have enough gain to play it that heavy or to get that "BIG" sound or whatever.....

I find the only way to make my sound "big" is to copy and past the take in another track in my daw, and pan them left and right. I actually usually go for 4 tracks for any one guitar part, 2 left, 2 right. Did you try this in your DAW ? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
