Nice Fender there,can you get Ritchie Blackmore's or Malmsteen tone with Butah?
Butah specializes in a weak drive output unlike the high levels preferred by Blackmore & Malmsteen.
Still on tones what are the factors involves to get signature artists tones.Is it the guitar,the woods,efx,amps,fingers?Which one of these contributes the most and the least?Thx.
to emulate one's idols, one has to keep close watch on the equipment & it involves everything. sometimes there can be substitutes but the real thing will nail it most of the time. 'most' because the other considerations would be individual techniques. this, you simply can't own but emulate, it's the factor which cannot be acquired for sure.
But for the budget player,can he get 90% satisfied by the tones he get from simple efx....example...Metal Zone or DS 1 then the tremendous amount of dough to spent on professional equipments?
this is the fine line to walk. with any equipment one invests in, it should be 100% satisfaction. the brand name there has a psychological contribution to satisfaction, which is inevitably linked to price-satisfaction. it shouldn't be measured on this ground per se. satisfaction here should be anything & everything that works regardless of the price.
maybe this is the reason why i still hold on to my $270 Smash guitar when i know the $2K Fender Strat would out-class the former in so many aspects- but not how i perceived it to be. also, my $70 TS7 gives me more inspiration than the $250 TS808 :-)
