I agree. I had my strings on for a long time and put on some new one and crikey, what a difference. Over time the sound really goes off although it isn't noticeable over day by day. Very interesting.

]]> Comment on Common Amplifier Myths Guitarists Should Know About by Bill http://www.guitarfact.com/common-amplifier-myths-all-guitarists-should-know-about/comment-page-1#comment-12489 Bill Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:51:38 +0000 http://www.guitarfact.com/?p=56#comment-12489 nice article, definitely true about you don't need a loud amp for a gig, you can always just mic a little one. I know many guitarists that play sold out 20,000 seat stadiums with a 65 watt amp connected to the PA. However, tube and solid state amps at 100 watts put out 100 watts of sound period at max volume. Tubes DO NOT produce MORE sound than solid state amps, and equal wattage will mean equal max sound. This is a common misconception due on the fact that they "break up" much clearer at higher levels, and sound much better. It has to do with the way the wave drops off (guitar coming through an amp, like any sound is a repeating wave with a shape and frequency). nice article, definitely true about you don’t need a loud amp for a gig, you can always just mic a little one.

Though it looked like this piece for a guitar would last long to keep. I like this idea too but I wonder if having a gemstone pick won’t affect the sound of the guitar as you play it.

I like the faded Gibson finishes too because they look so retro, but the silver has to be the rarest fin. My SG reissue bass is the silverburst.

I particularly liked the slotted head stock. It's a pitty they didn't continue that distinctive feature. As a kid I dreamed about owning an EB-3 as they were designated at the time.

]]> Comment on Choosing Between Time-Based Distortion Pedals by Kyle, on a quest to learn to play guitar online http://www.guitarfact.com/choosing-between-time-based-distortion-pedals/comment-page-1#comment-55 Kyle, on a quest to learn to play guitar online Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:10:48 +0000 http://www.guitarfact.com/?p=53#comment-55 Hey! I just wanted to say thanks for the informative post. I bought a BOSS GT-5 quite a while back, and to be honest with you: I ended up resorting to simple distortion pedals like the ones above. I love using pedals for effects (and especially writing with effects as inspiration), but for some reason the classics just work better with my style. Anyway, thanks again. Take it easy, Kyle Hey!
