Oh no it was definitely worded poorly, I was typing it getting ready for work. And I can sense the sarcasm ;-)

Not everybody wants to hear the same thing when it comes to the sound coming out of their speakers.

2) Your analog/digital pedal mash-ups- Something I see a lot of is the flaunting of analog or analog signal path pedals. I for one am a huge fan of these types of pedals and quality builds. For slight background on me, I was a straight signal path kinda guitar player with no pedals for a long time and always wanted a great tone from my amp and still do. I’ve always been huge on my amps and Guitar pickups so adding pedals I needed ones that conserved my tone... so for me I won’t put digital pedals on my board. I play with hand wound pickups into anpoint to point I guitar head. I have pedals with PCB and obv you need to but none of them are digital, I don’t want my analog signal path being effected. I understand for a lot of you noise makers that this isn’t really an issue for you but my question isn’t really for you guys. My question is for the people spending a ton of money on their gear, who have spent thousands of dollars on your Guitar Amps pushing digital pedals into them. Why? Why would you put so much into your direct signal and distort it with digital effects? Again this isn’t me calling you out, it’s me simply asking your reasoning behind this. Also to add onto this, besides digital pedals I see a lot of “lesser quality brands” on pedalboards with really amazing pedals on them. Besides the function of what it’s doing, can you not hear the lesser quality of the product, say EHX for example... ok go!

3) Pickups- I see some of you swap your pickups out. One thing I don’t understand is the Duncan and Dimazario crowd. You’re spending a ton of money on pickups yet you’re not even getting handwounds. What you’re buying isn’t much better than the stock pickups that came in your Guitar. Yes Duncan did do scatterwound at some point but the majority of the production now are machine wound. Are you just comfortable going with what you know and not venturing out? There are so many great scatterwound pickup makers, you’ve already gone deep into the boutique pedal world, why not go deep into the pickup world and make a bigger difference on your Guitar tone? And yes I am saying scatter wound is better than machine would and I don’t think that’s arguable haha.

You're just, you know, not nearly as gear-savvy as you think you are, and that's kind of obvious from your posts about gear.

This just means your amp isn't expensive enough.

I'd actually tend to agree with this in a way. Not on the money side but perhaps the quality side. A good amp won't change character that much when using a digital process versus an analog.

Or your amp isn’t sentive enough to be affected by it. I play a Matchless and it’s as sensitive as half the personalities on this thread. It changes drastically by anything I move around on my board. I consider this to be a good thing. It loves pedals but I can hear noticeable differences in the things I move around or pickups in my Guitar.

No, and this thread was a great example of how we aren’t all looking for that. Some of us are looking for Siq Toanz, others just want to see how much noise they can make, and some just want to play their guitar and really don’t care. I’m not bashing what anyone wants to do with their guitar, stick it up your ass and strum it with your toes if you want. I’m interested in a guitar players theory behind their sounds. Some people here don’t have any and that was very apparent, and that’s fine because getting sucked into how and why your Guitar makes the sounds it does and how it’s affected by even the smallest things is obsessive and probably not good for my health. This isn’t the place for that so I’ll just come here to help everyone jerk off to ezhi&aka pedals and stick my finger in the butthole of Industrialectric. I’m a part of that too I guess...
