i would like to try those tubes you recommended, but i am broke right now, and i can't get a job (well i could, but i'm already stressed from college and high school; anything else, and i might lose it). But after h.s. i'm going to take a break, try to get a job, and start taking guitar lessons (self-taught up to this point). I need to work on my technique and learn more about theory (i already know the basics from h.s. band). maybe at that point i will have some money to spare, but for now, all my money is coming from whatever i'm selling.
but if i have the money, i will try and switch the tubes out. the noise from the back when the ISP is in the front sounds kind of staticy. i thought that was just the preamp tubes. but one thing i'm worried about when i get the g string is that the one i have now is at about 12 o'clock in the front, but 2 o'clock in the back. i'm hoping that it will be able to cover both w/o any drawbacks. i guess only time will tell.
Thanks, John.
Lessons are overrated
In the Electric Guitar forum on UG there's a technique thread that links to some vids with basically all you need to know about technique, and they're free
At least try and learn what you can from all the free sources before taking lessons. In fact, if I were to take lessons for anything, it would be Jazz, although I may end up learning that as I plan on majoring in music for my 4 year degree (so school COMES with lessons!
)
And if you can keep it at 12:00 with the G String, that would be ideal. The less gating you have to do the better. I wanna get that pedal too eventually, but I've got tonal things I want to change until then.
