I dont have much information on pickups and i am lost with what to buy for a j-rock / metal genre. (Pedals and Multi effect processors that would be useful on these genres would be helpful too)...

zenith breach
#

And what do you already have in the sense of amp / pedals / etc ?

half garnet
errant quartz
#

That sounds perfect already

#

What's missing?

zenith breach
#

I don't see a problem either ...maybe a hardware/pedal compressor ...but I bet the Katana has that as well

#

@half garnet why not use what you have ... Must be a lot of presets for those styles to be found online

half garnet
#

That is well with those aswell

#

Also maybe less hum's could be better

#

Something H-H

zenith breach
#

Guitar / pickups don't matter that much in general when it comes to tone ..the magic is in the amp and speaker

half garnet
#

But pickups do matter man

#

😭

half garnet
#

It's almost 7 months

#

And i still havent played with these digital stuff

#

I tried and failed and left it

zenith breach
#

And for output

#

Tone ...not so much

errant quartz
#

Any shape catch your eye?

half garnet
#

But

#

People always have complains

#

About guitars

#

Making me get a lot more confused

For Jrock I'd go for more of a tele actually

half garnet
errant quartz
#

I don't really know what's usual for Jrock

half garnet
#

So i got tired

#

Of trying to understand the shit

zenith breach
#

Maybe something like the Schecter PT since it is HH

half garnet
#

After trying for 8 hours

#

😭

#

When they are distorted

zenith breach
#

Yes ...that's why I said a modern tele with HH like the Schecter PT

I think your way of understanding is quite reverse

#

It's harder to make 0 a 1

#

Humans grow up copying and learning from eachother

zenith breach
#

And you have all that information at your fingertips at all times

half garnet
#

...

#

Dude

zenith breach
#

Took me 2 minutes to find that video

half garnet
#

I did everything correct

#

And checked over and over again

#

I bought 2-3 cables

zenith breach
#

Teach a man how to fish kinda situation

half garnet
#

Tried again

#

And still didnt work

#

The app didnt like...

#

Connect with the amp ?

#

Somehow

zenith breach
#

Oh you could not even use tone studio?

half garnet
#

No

#

Nothing worked

#

I am talking about 8 hours

zenith breach
#

Weird ... You can still control the amp though

half garnet
#

I have reversed and tried everything

#

Step by step

#

Again and again

#

And when i wanted to specifically have someone help me

#

People didnt

#

So i left it as it was

#

And used my pedal and amp settings alone

half garnet
#

And nah

#

Tele's look less appealing than sg and lespaul

#

And those esp shapes or whatever they are called

half garnet
errant quartz
#

Pretty hard to recommend anything specific, do you have any shops around?

zenith breach
errant quartz
#

My suggestion still stands because I think it's nice but there's a lot of choice

half garnet
#

With a city traffic

half garnet
#

So is mine

#

Dont get me wrong by the way

#

Tele's are beautiful aswell

#

No guitar is ugly

zenith breach
#

True ... LTD viper is a palatable SG like guitar

half garnet
#

I saw that name a few time's

zenith breach
half garnet
#

I'll check it too maybe

zenith breach
#

But if you want to play metal too ... An eclipse would work

#

Eclipse deluxe with Fishmans

@zenith breach What do you think about epiphone's ? I have checked it myself aswell and i either saw people complain or be amazed about it and never could understand which dude is telling the truth ( I think those who complain are the people who just bought it from online and it came bad from the factory )

errant quartz
#

If the complaints are "the strings are buzzing" or "the action is too high" then you can ignore those

half garnet
#

And it was sharp at the ends

errant quartz
#

Yeah that would be disappointing

half garnet
#

I think he just got unlucky

#

Or had it from a bad factory

half garnet
#

And i did not notice any sharpness or any dryness or whatever

zenith breach
#

But then again... You could have gotten a better guitar for the same money probably

half garnet
#

There is a lot of good guitars

zenith breach
#

Ibanez Axion Label S671ALB-BCM Blue Chameleon look at this

#

I think a regular supersrat style guitar will just work better in the sense of versatility

zenith breach

#

That name is LOOONG

zenith breach
#

It's Ibanez ... They do that

#

Looks insane though

#

Axion label is their higher end studf

#

And I suggest looking at something with Fishmans since they have different voicings, which gives you way more tonal options

That's why i bought it 🗣️

#

for some reason my ibanez as73g sounded really good when playing rock

#

even though its a semi hollow

#

its good asf

zenith breach
radiant lotus
#

the pickups are heavenly

radiant lotus
#

might be personal preference

celest peak
#

hollowbodys can be difficult but not at all impossible

#

semi hollows are fine

half garnet
#

I think they are producing even better stuff rn

gentle wolf
#

hss strat or hh with coilsplit, although theres no perfect middle as jrock occasionally uses jazzmasters, teles or jaguars.

analog basin
#

maybe a tele fits better

#

just in my opinion
