let's talk amps, distortion, and guitars bitches

[Aeschylus]

amp - i have a crappy $50-$100 Austin Bazaar amp thats really small, but it's a very good quality amp that Ian gave me.
i'm using a pedal though that my brother in law Daniel gave me. it's a Zoom 707 II. he claims it's ancient but it has so many amazing distortions on it it's not even funny.

the amazing moment when one of my distortions sounds nearly exactly like what Billie Joe Armstrong's sounds like in one of Green Day's first albums, 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. omgomgomg

guitar - i mainly use just my newer one. it's a step up from a Squier but it's just a Bullet Strat
it has the newer tuners that are smaller and dont suck ass. and it has standard pickups, but what i'm thinking about doing is getting a Tom Delonge pickguard, and it only has one hole in it to put a humbucker in, which i have two of, so i'm just gonna put that on the Bullet Strat.

Distortion, guitars, and amps. Could this be the talk about Heavy Metal?

ok
punk rock and alternative and indie rock and stuff dont use any of those things
besides heavy metal is totally not in my area, i dont like it
i like metal like Lostprophets and the Used, and harder stuff like Metallica, but not heavy metal, hell no

So no Maiden then? So you are into stuff like the Old Green Day and pre-2006 Linkin Park?

i'm into all Linkin Park, and all Green Day.
i like diversity in my music likings but i dont like pop, rap, hip-hop, country, bluegrass, heavy metal, or screamo
emo is fine, but that's strictly because that's somewhat of the genre of older My Chemical Romance and The Used.
i have an exception with the screaming in The Used but only in some songs, because other songs they go overboard on it. Linkin Park is fine all the way, because Chester has a great voice.
and no, no Maiden or Priest, they were not the gods i praised, i don't listen to heavy metal and have a mullet.
(Sum 41 reference much)

can this not be a music discussion :c
stay on topic mondays

I'm already familiar with some chords because I play the piano.

Also I have a musical talent, to boot.

Ibanez guitars looks super duper hot but all the ones I've used fall out of tuning very fast.
