The controversial gear thread

Anyone here get vaccinated growing up? Trying to find out why I like digital sound processing.

I saw a deal where they used coat hangers as speaker cables and then like a $300 "muh toanz!" Type cable and did blind tests with these audiophile types and some majority percentage chose the coat hanger as the best toanz. That shit is hilarious. Wish I could find it again.

Fuck the pieces are coming together.

I had a Jaguar once. It felt like I was rocking out on an ironing board.
I have a new Telecaster now. My brother-in-law asked me what sort of pickups it had and my answer was "ones that make a guitar sound come out the amp". It sounds great. I have no idea what other pickups do or why I would replace the ones that work.
The digital/analog debate is for people who only go see bands in bars that play guitar solos and nothing else, while sports plays on 15 screens around the room.
I've been playing guitar for 25 years, know nothing about guitars, and have sold more albums than you.

I will say replacing the pickups in my Tele was a 10/10 move and I now have so much more sonic versatility.

Jazzmaster s come with terrible pickups that always need to be swapped out (most modern Fender guitars do but Jazzmasters are exceptionally worse)

whatever man

Why do people put ketchup on their $20 steaks? FUUUUUUUUUCKKKK!!

Why do people eat steak that shit is gross

It's almost as if pedals, amps and guitars are tools to create sound, and people have different ideas of what sounds they want to create...

Maybe focus less on minute details of sound production, and more on producing sounds you like?

I think everyone comes from different backgrounds of playing guitar, and maybe my questions don’t apply to you. Some of you said you go digital and again I’m not bashing that. Some of you may focus on different aspects of the Guitar, mine is my tone first and pedals after. I’ve had tons of pedals that have affectedit in a negative way so yeah not all my opinions you’ll agree with. I was simply asking what your thoughts were, yes it’s my opinion that Jazzmasters bridges suck, it’s my opinion Duncan pickups are sterile, that’s not why I’m asking you, I’m asking your theory behind what you do and why you do it, not what’s better or worse, yeah add your opinion on what’s better or worse but as community of “gear nerds” I’d think you’d talk about why or why you don’t do certain things on your rigs, but hey maybe I’m wrong maybe asking why you put a pedal before another one is too personal or why you don’t care if your dry signal is effected by digital, maybe some of you don’t hear that or maybe it’s that you don’t care enough to hear it and I’m not bashing that either...

I mean honestly the real answer is "guitars are stupid buy a synth."

The real real answer is don't buy anything and just listen to music on your mind.

Vegetarianism was invented by reptilians to hog all the meat.

Yo what it's the blood of something weaker than you. Nothing more human than that.

[D.o.S.]

Signal bleed is a bypass issue, not an analogue/digital issue.

Steak is gross because it bleeds. It must be digital.

Real talk this is a bunch of empty buzzword salad and that's why we're giving you a hard time.
