i love digitalis

tbh for guitar effects i just use Helix native that s*** got every amp on earth

I use guitar rig 7 ans neural cory wong

Have you looked into tone3000.com

I don’t even own guitar pedals maybe someday

been looking to get into tone3000 heard crazy things about it

i had basically the pedal version of the Helix plugin and it's fun but tbh at this point i'm used to go direct into my interface lol ended up selling it

Hell yeah f*** hardware I think eventually I’ll need pedals because my duo uses guitar and I would like to play that s*** live

playing guitar is so fun man

Try NAM / TONE3000 if you need super realistic amp captures.

It's pretty limited in terms of effects, Gain stage effects and reverbs it excels at that, everything else u still need sum like the Helix. But imo NAM amps sound way better than Helix.

Hmu if you need the best sounding Impulse Responses for amp sims, including Helix

A 300-400 dollar Classic Vibe Squier with a good setup got everything any guitarrist could need.

thats what im sayin they make REALLY good budget guitars now. kinda insane value.

this is my main guitar i rock
Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster

beautiful

I got like 40 pedals and most of them i made myself. Theyre mostly a rip off honestly

damn u a wizard

rip off how so

i mean if i wanna play live, i wouldnt want there to be latency right. i assume pedals bypasses plugin latency

After i bought too many pedals i got interested in diy cause i wanted to save money and learn a skill. Another hyperfixation really haha. So many pedals retail for hundreds of dollars and are only worth like 10-20% of that in parts. You're mostly paying for labor, R&D etc i guess. Anyway i promised myself id never buy a pedal i couldnt otherwise make by myself. It's very easy to fall into that trap of "one more pedal will fix my problems", and the cost adds up quickly. Not unlike eurorack in that regard.

Some DSP pedals will have latency issues that aren't responsive enough for some ppl, eg I have an EQD Aqueduct vibrato that ive seen many ppl complain about the latency of. Because of the nature of their approach to digital vibrato, there must be a slight delay to buffer it or whatever. Personally it's not enough to bother me. I cant imagine any a***og dirt pedals would have this issue. And i would guess that most good multi-fx units are within acceptable range of latency, if they have any at all.

Reaching that point of the year where I accept that I will never achieve success or acknowledgment for my music

When January comes around you'll remember that you are that nigga

Just keep making your art, ain’t nothing like the feeling of creating something dope

I know.
Sadly I struggle mentally from time to time
