Guitar Effects Rigs
What are the most important factors regarding solid electric guitar tone?
There are so many factors that go into producing a gutiar tone that I’m not sure where to start improving my rig. I play an Epiphone SG remake with factory pickups, and use a GNX 3000 for effects. I have no amp at the moment, but maybe I’ll pick one up if someone can lead me in the right direction. I’d really like to emulate a good death metal tone like the one used by Dethklok. Any advice?
Well if you want HARDCORE METAL like DETHKLOK then I’m going to suggest you one look at the equipment there guitarist have. Probably a Marshall or Line 6 amp. ALso i suggest you replace the humbuckers on your guitar with either a EMG 85 /85 combo or a EMG 81/ 85 combo(if you play lead and rhythm) since they have a fatter tone to them.

what are the components of a guitar rig?
i’m 14 years,and i know a lot about amps,pedals,guitars but i don’t find any information of guitar rigs,i know you can use some effects processors,but what are the power conditioners,and other gear musicians use,and how can you connect multiple amps
Hello, Braulio! Power conditioners are used to ensure that the AC currrent coming from the wall is stable before being sent to power up sensitive electronics (see http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=310 for an example). It eliminates power spikes and other voltage fluctuations that could damage components or cause functional errors. Another useful device is a power attenuator (see http://www.tubejuiceattenuators.com/ and http://www.americanmusical.com/Item–i-THD-HP8-LIST?SRC=D0407FG0HAMS0000&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=feed& for examples), which allows an amplifier to be turned up to where the tone becomes saturated and smooth from overdriving the power tubes, but the overall volume is held in check (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_conditioner and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_attenuator_(guitar) for more details). Finally, connecting multiple amplifiers can be done in several different ways; two common methods are running split cables from the guitar or effects units, or connecting the “Preamp Out” from one amplifier to the “Power Amp In” on the other. There is much to be learned about guitars and amplifiers, so just keep asking questions and doing as much research as you can! Best regards, Dana
