I predict this will be quite tame compared to the rest of this thread but here you go anyway:

Our scene opens on a person with a bass guitar, practicing some sick slap bass perched upon an IKEA office chair. The player is lost in the zone, all mental facilities put to work making every strike with the thumb is accurate and powerful, and every pop of the fingers sends the strings into the fretboard with a gorgeous thwack! The sound is heavenly, a deep, rich, cutting tone- full of appropriate levels of CLANK and SNAP. The short riff being performed to a concert of no-one reaches its magnificent height, a slammingly heavy riff sounding like a funky machine gun, the bassists hands become a blur, the strings vibrate with precision and power, a glorious cacophony of ma-

kkrrmp.

Oh crap, I broke my lowest string.

Dude I say this sincerely, acting as an apolitical person for this discussion-

What?

Dude I can't thank you enough this is incredible! Seriously this is really useful :)

TODAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY THAT AMGONNABFIGIENAV inchorenent singing

I'm a computing/music student thinking of getting into plugin design and similar stuff, I'm curious what plugin design is like and what it consists of. Is there any like quick tips or bits of information you could give me about the field?

Not a lefty myself, but it's always great to see stuff like this

If your going to get a guitar with built in effects, I would also look into getting a keyboard amp. Your guitar will have digital cabinets built in, which sound horrible when played through a guitar amp.

When using the built in cabinets, your guitar will process the sound of a guitar speaker onto the signal from the guitar. Guitars are designed to be listened through guitar speakers, so they sound weird without them. The inverse is also bad. if you process your guitar signal with a guitar speaker then send it into a guitar amplifier with a guitar speaker, you double dip with the sound of the speaker and you get the opposite but equally worse problem.

If you want to play amplified with all the effects you have, then you'll need a keyboard amp. The speaker in a keyboard amp is designed to not affect the sound, which will let you use the guitars speaker simulations without double dipping with effects.

You could also just turn the speaker sim off, which is far easier.

Sincerely, someone who couldn't figure out why their guitar sounded horrible for a week.

Damn that's some blades in the dark shit right there
