tomrulez Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Looks about as close to a Manson as my cock, but thanks for trying. The thought was there. I guess it's a vaguely similar shape for people on a very small budget. Try not to be so abrupt in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious911 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I don't want one since i'm building a m1d1 replica but if you are intrested, here's the link : http://www.amazon.com/Dean-Solid-Body-Electric-Guitar/dp/B0002E1OVS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1384888845&sr=8-4&keywords=guitar+tuning+pegs+les+paul I think you'd be better off going with a Cheap Squier tele for a super budget build. IMO if you are going to replicate the guitar, at least do it right, if not, do a custom guitar for you! Tele's look okay I guess though... we've all seen worse attempts at a mattocaster!

FabriPav Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 ^ oh christ Imo the best cheap shot is a Yamaha 120SJ. Aren't those hard-ish to find though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 To be honest, modding a cheap guitar into a 'replica' or whatever is more time and hassle than building a custom from scratch, and probably as expensive as well. If you lack the tools/time/talent, it's not hard to find someone who will do the work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I do love/hate some of the replicas though. Some of them are outstandingly gash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lack the tools/time/talent, it's not hard to find someone who will do the work for you. Yes and no I guess... It all depends on the resources you have at hand, and what you are trying to get out of it in the end. I originally started research to mod a telecaster to me kind of mattocaster, and the research quickly led me to being in the middle of a from scratch build. To just want to drop a MIDI pad and sustainer into a black guitar, and be kind of mattocaster, I think the telecaster is a good route, but I agree that if you are going to do it, might as well do it right and put the money towards a better end product. Start with a cheap guitar, and in the end, you will still have a cheap guitar with some fancy electronics and paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomparrot Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 After my amp was picking up radio signals today I've have an edgy a creative idea for my set up. Reminiscent of Jonny Greenwood's use of a VHS player/radio during The National Anthem I've been thinking of a way to implement a cassette player on my pedal board to use for ambient sounds. My current signal chain is: Guitar > Whammy IV > Tuner > Big Muff > Mooer Blue Faze > DB Design Oscillator > DOD Flanger > Memory Toy > Amp I was thinking of using one of these: http://www.gak.co.uk/en/art-coolswitch/777?gclid=CNnwzbeKmLsCFdOWtAoddHwAng what do you guys think?

randomparrot Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 you have tapes of ambient sounds? I was planning on using regular audio cassettes but using pedals to create ambient sounds with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I have no idea what the tapes are bringing to this. Are you going to record sounds from pedals on to the tape, and then put that through pedals again? You might prefer that Danelectro tape looper pedal thingie - if they still make them I'm intrigued by the idea of incorporating a tape machine into a pedal board but I really can't think of a good reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 A 4-track cassette recorder would be better than an old walkman. An old reel-to-reel could also be interesting as easier to make tape loops with those sorts of devices than cassette. Still plenty of fun ways to fuck with cassettes though. Would be a shame to run it into an amp though, would mask some of the flaws of cassettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 yerp. I have a couple of old four tracks around. I do actually use them sometimes but wouldn't use it live! Just can't imagine... I guess I'm nowhere near hip/pretentious enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomparrot Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I was thinking of using some audio books or spoken word recordings. I found when I played around with effects on the news bulletin radio signal that my guitar picked up It created interesting sounds that barely resembled what was originally coming through. The combination of whammy, fuzz and delay worked particularly well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 ahhhh, cool. I actually did that with a sleep/hypnosis type tape once. The doctor had given my mate the tape to try and help him sleep. We played it through my pedals into the computer, it was pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 not a head amp or a normal amp is it though. It's a VH4 AMP HEAD Well no, by the sound of things he can't find a head amp or a normal amp that's like a VH4 which isn't a head amp or normal amp.

cheddatom Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well no, by the sound of things he can't find a head amp or a normal amp that's like a VH4 which isn't a head amp or normal amp. exactly, the VH4 is an amp head anyway so it's never going to sound like a head amp or a normal amp, it'll always sound like an amp head. I don't see the problem anyway, if you want the VH4 sound why not just get an amp head? I really don't see the advantage of using a normal amp over an amp head, and when it comes to head amps... COME ON! They just don't match up. Especially not if you're trying to plug it into a cab speaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
