NTCK

I started playing the guitar when I was seventeen
Dreamed of becoming a star… But then life happened and now I am in my late mid 30’s
I am a father and Now I have got time again
To pursue my passion for playing music

And Maybe I am not that cool kid with the hottest riff.
who can play everything, and knows it all, But that should never hold anybody back
And this is the place where I am going to take you along on my musical journey.

    I love Taylor guitars. Actually some laminate guitars are the best sounding. A lot of Martins are laminate as well and they're very popular too. I never base my decision on the materials used in a guitar as long as they're a quality built guitar that's known to hold up well over the years. I always base my decision on feel and tone. My Taylor sounds better every year it seems. I have three Taylors now and none needed a setup or any tweaking whatsoever...perfect action, spot on intonation and they stay in tune very well.

    I have this amp and play it with my PRS SE Standard 24-08. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I just can't get a nice tone. I would like to have a nice (80's-ish) rock sound for playing lead, thats why I even bought a might red distort pedal (mad prof). But can't make it sound good. I'm a self-taught player (4years), with some help of youtube legends. Could someone please help me, because it really demotivates me to play more guitar... :(

    Gosh it’s a no brainer. Still rocking with the push 2 and yes I probably need to upgrade but I wouldn’t go any further than the controller mode. Without vst support - you c could basically buy a MacBook Air or almost a pro aswell as a controller. Better value and must better cpu. I could just imagine the battery is good but will degrade in time so it’ll end up being a controller long term. The lack of an xlr is crazy aswell as secondary headphones. I could even get a native instruments mk3 plus a push 3 and still be miles ahead

    Not Good at all. Purchased it and tried about 1 week. Absolutely buggy bluetooth. Just does not work. When you switch betwenn the sounds or try to run through the backstage it just hang up until switched on/off. Last drop for me was guitar disconnection caused by bluetooth. Sent back to the Seller. Just computer toy. Purchased boss then. Satisfied. Not such flexible bluetooth but works. Can not advise GTX50 just due to the bluetooth issues. Sound is good. Ideas inside of the software are good too. But it simply does not work well for me. And it looks like fender can not or just does not like to fix bluetooth issues.

    @@NotThatCoolKid I tried LT50 too. But there is no Bluetooth. Sound was about the same quality not big difference. My GTX50 was not faulty. It was not fault but definetely buggy software. I discovered that it is not good especially play to it from the phone via bluetooth. Then problem come faster. If you just switch presets it is better. But in any case problem come in the end. And only reload of the unit (on/off) helps. Software itself has good ideas. I liked that. But I need to switch and use it. Do not like to dance around the unit to make it run well. So I end up with Katana. Luckely had 30 days return.

    I've had one of these for a couple of years and it's great fun for mucking around at home , so many great clean sounds in it. Distortion isn't great, overdrive is OK. Very versatile and adjustable, has saved me fortune in not buying delay/chorus/reverb effects pedals (so far...) Works great with a looper. The app is brilliant. Would recommend for beginners/intermediate.

    Nice little With or Without You jam - I'm a big U2 fan, so that was very nice at the end 😊 Push 3 is amazing - I'm using standalone as I don't use many 3rd party plugins. I do think sometimes it can get a little cumbersome, but overall, its just so creative to jam on it and get away from the computer screen. Then its so great to have everything ready and recorded in session view ready to arrange on computer. Probably my favourite piece of gear right now!

    This video is about getting closer to The Edge’s sound. Discounting the gear, including the picks is crazy considering what a HUGE part of his sound is actually from his gear, most notably of course, is his use of delay. If the Edge used different amps, guitars, no effects, and the usual picks in the usual way, he wouldn’t sound the same. Great video. Thanks for sharing. I bought the picks a year ago myself and love them. They don’t make be a better player, obviously, but they do contribute to the overall sound I’m creating in just the way I hoped they would.

    Thanks for the video! I have the same amp and the looper. What I find odd is the sound quality of the loop. When I play, it sounds "full" but when I loop it, it sounds dull. Have you encountered similar issue? I've tried to look for the loop quality but didn't find any settings.
