Rate! I would appreciate some feedback as well.

Remember me? My setup has gone a very long way, gonna post a picture of the old one so you could see.

...

I do remember you, and that looks so much better with dual monitors and the tv mounted on the wall. Much cleaner!

...

Thanks! It really does look a lot cleaner and better. Now I just need to replace my keyboard and mouse, and I am gonna take a break from buying PC shit.

Is fucking everyone going to make a new thread as soon as I post in an old one!?

These threads are fucking cancer.

At under 100 most optiplex's and precisions will be roughly the same spec.

I'm talking about a table/desk, not another computer.

yeah, just making a new one now..........

Blatant lie, your thinkpad is not pink

Well you did say desktop. If you mean DESK then say desk. Get something from Ikea or build your own.

I got confused, sorry.

now THATS a battlestation

Guess I'll do it again.

Nice guitar guitarfag

What would you recommend for a total beginner who has good income (e.g. doesn't need to buy the shitty beginner budget models)? I would be more interested in playing Eric Clapton style cleaner shit than Black Sabbath kinda heavy metal

Also are modeling amps good? I don't want to piss off my roommates with a loud tube amp to get that distortion sound

buy a fender telecaster, modelling amps are not as nice as tube amps for a lot of reasons.

>modelling amps are not as nice as tube amps for a lot of reasons.
Such as?

Turn the monitors on and take a pic.

well, i got the axe-fx 2 and it kicks ass. check it out if u don't know about it. plus it can be ur audio interface and u can record through it.

If he's a prisoner he's a pretty happy one. He doesn't have the constitution for the streets, too happy.

If you like Clapton style and Clapton's tone, get a Fender Stratocaster and look into lace sensor pickups later. There are a good number of inexpensive guitars that sound great. The Gretsch is a G5120, Korean, and about $600. Brands like Fender and Gibson get away with murder banking on their name and the quality control sometimes goes by the wayside.

I don't do amp modeling at all but have tinkered with it in the past. It's fun to play with but I'd never want to use it to make music I'd want anyone to hear. People have their own opinions and it really will boil down to a simple digital vs. analogue debate. Just got to decide how much of a purist you are.

sound quality, I don't know your level but they sound sweeter at any volume, you want to be going into a store and trying them to be honest,
else it's just some guy telling you what's what.

happyto answer any specific questions though.

I had heard modeling amps were nice because they specifically replicate the sound of many popular tube amps through software leading to a result that sounds more or less the same but can be piped all through headphones or at any volume too

Not like solid state amps which were the non-tubes that came before

>you want to be going into a store and trying them to be honest
What's has the most effect on the overall sound? The guitar or the amp? It seems like two different variables, I don't know how I could match two good ones up knowing fuck all as a total beginner

okay dokay

>too happy
fair dooz, it is a nice room

just go for the axe-fx 2 if u got the money.

Well shit, I have money but not $1200 amps money. Something $400-$1000 is something I could do

Still waiting

>What would you recommend for a total beginner who has good income (e.g. doesn't need to buy the shitty beginner budget models)?
Check craigslist and find a used guitar of a decent brand.

This might sound totally wrong and bad advice but some Chinese knockoff brands sound great and are half the price (like SVK compared to Gibson, $300 for a set neck and all). Just look up online if it's any good or not beforehand

Yamaha is good midrage shit too.

You scumbag!
You just couldn't resist could you!
The thinkpad isn't to be painted.
I do have a yellow one called wheely big thinkpad
Now here's an user who knows their shit!

hmm i see.. yeah the axe-fx 2 is like the top u can get :P
another more viable option, which will get u similar results as the axe-fx, is the kemper. but still it's kinda pricy too.
so i guess u're gonna have to go with a used tube amp or smth

They can be nice in that way. The best example of a digital application in guitar would be something like Zappa Plays Zappa, where Frank Zappa's son Dweezil does use a lot of modeling to emulate his father's sound. I just prefer to work with what I've got and prefer being a bit inventive with it to get sounds I like.

If you want to emulate a particular sound though, it's something to consider and I wouldn't advise buying anything expensive and musical without trying it.

If you go too cheap on either you'll be disappointed as a beginner but I'd say starting off, put a bit more priority on the guitar and how it feels. It's likely going to be with you longer than the amp.

if you need the versatility by all means go for it, but for sound go with a real one, try some fender or marshall and really listen, i think you would really love using the setup, but there are good reasons for both ways.
It's also a good way to make friends with knowledgeable shop guys in your area etc.

guitar is most, but both important, particularly if your using fx and distortion which kind of takes over from the guitar sound completely, just keep trying whatever new stuff you can whenever you can, that's half the fun.

I love the screen array.

I have come to notice that quite a few of these assholes on Cred Forums only use linux, here is a BST thread for only windows users because we are the coolest. I love you guys. But fuckeroni you linux users.

first time /bst/ :^)

Another thing to consider is that with guitar, there is nothing new under the sun. Inventiveness comes to be a guitarist's strongest attribute and it also can help a beginner become better to struggle to find what works the old fashioned way. Having an array of amp models and sounds at your beckon call not only deters you from progressing in that way, it also keeps you from learning more about tone and what might come to be your personal sound someday.

Something to consider, YMMV.

no more comfy thread?

Rate?
Proud man child.

case is a bit large for the desk but overall looks good

I'm actually building a new PC in October and will be using a Fractal Design R5, so I'll have to post an update when the downsize/upgrade is complete

cheers,
lot of style going on here, nice curved desk and the rest.

I like it alright. I'm a whore for white, but it's a little too gaudy for my tastes now. I'm getting the white windowed R5 though, simple and clean.

I really want to hate this, but it's actually alright.

Why m8?

I'll talk to you in 2 years when it falls apart

why not build a compact matx machine

I'll have enough money to get a better chair by then.

Hello Everynyan!!!
What should I buy next?

One expensive room in a house doesn't make you rich. What do you drive?

5/10 Does the job.

7/10 Clean. Cooler speakers would be nice.

8/10 Appart from those huge ass monitors Its fine. I mean even if you listen to music in bed this is still way above what you need for your room.

6/10 Needs a cleanup also lacks space.

4/10 I'm not realy bothered by your robot things but you have an ugly desk, mismatched monitors and tons of crap lying around.

6.5/10 Cool setup but needs a bit of cleaning

7/10 This is a fine bst but put that computer on the floor and stop wasting that workspace Also need new speakers.

I'm using all-white internals and couldn't find another motherboard other than Asus' Sabertooth and it's a full-sized board.

They were free and they look good and sound better than any other free speaker

OOPS! Hello Everynyan!!!

Yah I know, saving for a pair of 305 or some Rokits

U the guy with 3 displays and a pair of KRK monitors?
>What should I buy next?
Headphones?

>6/10 Needs a cleanup also lacks space.
I agree on the cleanup, I need to buy some longer cables before it gets done properly though.

But what do you mean by lacks space? It's well over 50" across with easily 35" of depth. I'm a fairly skinny guy at 145lbs, and it feels very spacious to me.

I used to have rockits, loved em, krk 5 mk2 i think.

how much would all those monitors cost and how did you mount them?

>U the guy with 3 displays and a pair of KRK monitors?
Yes I forgot to put a picture in my first post
I do already have AKG K7XX Headphones. I need a stand tho.

Its just that alot of things on the desk are cramped also I dont like computer towers on desk. Its basically a meme about heating but the difference is so negligible that its not worth it.

about £25 each on average, self mounted.
took a while, had to wait for ebay etc.

Basement dweller setup at home.. Being around normies is strange guys

I received pic related today, you can buy one dirt cheap from the chinks, it just take´s some time

Mad jelly of your lazerwave (soundwave) toy.

Working with what I got.

Fuck, my iphone 7 needs to get here so i can post, my Z3 is fucking pants on head garbage

Hi Joseph

It's 2x4 from a skip and a bit of ply for the base, furniture casters for wheels..... not there yet but you get the picture. Pretty easy to do if yo have a drill and hand saw.

what monitors did u use and are they any good?

>meme chair
>case badges
>meme headphones
Other than that it looks good, I like the TV up top.

kek this is when I still had 10. I put a legit Win 7 Ultimate on it but only thing is, its in Finnish lol, but language packs change most of that.

Samsung SyncMaster 2243BW
pretty good for testing a 12 o/p rig.
22 inch, 1080, easily found for a reasonable price (few years ago).
depends what you need really.

no doubt shit bye modern gamer standards, but I don't use them for that.

I know. I have no lofty expectations of being the next big thing. I just want to play around for funsies.

The headphones are actually pretty fucking good, I use them every day for almost a year and they look brand spanking new! Quality is superb.

Thanks! The TV looks good up there, I just don't have a use for it currently. Any ideas? There is no power cable even connected.

Your setup is steadily improving nice

Thanks man! Have you seen my other posts throughout the months and shit? It has evolved a lot. I am still looking for more to do, to make the channel better.

What keyboard and mouse are those? They look pretty good honestly.

Are you the dude that lives in a small town?

If it's the one I think it is, then I remember the first one with the router on desk and bunk bed. I was the user that recommended mounting tv above monitor and adding another monitor

what you doing next?

Just outside of a small town but yes. Family's got about 100 acres

Yes! That is me and I remember you, haha.

Honestly I don't know man, but I want to replace the keyboard and mouse with something better and non rice.
I also need to figure out a cooling solution or something to lower the temps in my room slightly. And I am even considering a mini fridge. Feel free to recommend something.

Did the last image that you posted in a thread have a truck or something in the back? Like the ones with containers.

>free to recommend something
dunno man, go with the flow. looking good thus far.

more plants :)

Were you the guy that recommended me plants last time?

I do a lot of that, yeah probably.

Kentia palm?

Yes haha thats me. Current view out my window

...

Hmm, you got the pictures of my setup and drew with red on where I should place them and shit.

Fucking beautiful man, I would love to live in an area like this. Do you take advantage of the scenery and go on hikes and fish in rivers and do shit like that?

in case anyone wants to do this: many companies throw out their old monitors when they upgrade their shit for really cheap. usually like 20 monitors for $100 on craigslist or ebay or w/e.

long time player here.
the axe fx is pure trash. biggest waste of money there is.

if you want a real amp, get a fender combo.
deluxe reverb, twin reverb, any of these. they have the best clean and if you have a good clean then distortion or overdrive is no problem.
if you want many effects for cheap get the boss gt-100.
if you want it silent, also get the gt-100 and connect it to your stereo, headphones, w/e.

it's amplifier simulations are far superior to the axe-fx.

kempers are only good if you have at least 3 expensive amps.

>drew with red on where I should place them and shit
fuck no, I would never do that to you. I think that's a bit condescending.

True, it kinda is. But hey you do think it's a good idea to get plants?

There's some great salmon and steelhead fishing in the river nearby. I haven't gone fishing nearly as much as I would like lately hoping to go catch some steelhead next week. Love to get into the outdoors as much as I can though

Changed my mouse with DeathAdder Chroma and my mousepad with Steelseries QcK mini. Rest is same.

Thanks senpai. Looks rad and a pretty nice price too.

>guitar-to-midi
I fuck around with MIDI a lot, does that actually work well??

Fuck! I am so jelly, I love nature and having woods and all of that. Maybe I should leave Miami in a few years and go over to a place like the one that you live in.

What else do you do, and where do you live?

sure do, what do you think?

Woah, absolutely amazing user. I actually feel like making my own little terrarium, inside of a light bulb or something.

I used it one time only on mine. it tracked very very well. i dont remember if it only tracks one note at a time or multiple ones.

boss has been making the best multifx pedals for many years and the gt100 is pretty popular even for professionals (f.e. johnny marr)

you wont regret the purchase, it's imo the best way to use amp simulations, because if you should ever play on stage you can press a button with your feet and change amplifiers, effects, speakers, everything all at once. with a rack device like the axe fx or a kemper you will need to move there and turn knobs on a 2 inch screen.. its annoying.

the best thing is that even if you decide to get an amp at some point or some single effect pedals, you can still use that amplifiers sound instead of the simulations.

if you bought single effect pedals instead, to get the same features you'd pay many thousand $.

...

Yeah, that definitely seems like the most fun to play around with, lots of variety in one package

How does it compare with Line6 POD HD500?

>terrarium, inside of a light bulb
holy fucking shit, and that's my next project right there, thx user.
peace out.

sorry for potatophone
it gets the job done for me

line6 has been the main competitor for a while.

the boss multieffects have many original boss pedals inside them, like the famous boss compressors/delays/many more, which the others don't have. they also have tubescreamer or big muff simulations and many more. i dont know if line6 has these licenses too and how well their effects are but there are some reasons why i would pick the gt100 over a line6 device.

>2 screens
yeah it's really worth it
>bigger
>better knob and button layout
>better (amp) simulations
>lower price
>software

you can connect both of these to your computer via usb and change the presets with your big computer screen if you prefer to do that.

my guitar teacher had a smaller line6 and it didn't last long. not saying it happens to all but boss multifx pedals are close to indestructible.

not shilling btw

remove that >bigger.

Going to be living in a dorm next semester. My current BST is shit and I was really wanting to start making a quality area. Thing is with a dorm, I (don't think) I'll be able to bring my own desk, and I won't have too much room. Anyone here have some dorm-room BST inspo or recommendations? Help me choose some things to buy.

yes I know BST = battle station thread, and that I used it improperly

Just bring a laptop and some normie accesories and at least TRY to have a social live. You'll have another 70+ years to be an aspie recluse hermit you should at least make an attempt to escape while it's socially acceptable to be uninhibited and reckless.

Fuck, I'm only 26 and I regret not being more adventurous at college. You shouldn't be in your room unless you're fucking or sleeping.

I have a laptop and a desktop, but I at least want to make the place look nice with posters and shit.

I'm not an aspie, getting out and having fun isn't something I'm concerned about missing out on

...

Just focus on your studies and if you have any left over time focus on getting laid. Do not spend any time thinking about furniture or computers

Why the fuck do people buy tiny ultrawide monitors?

They're so small it's like you just snapped the top third off a regular 24" 1080p monitor.

34" 3440x1440 or stick to 16:9

Because its better than dual monitors.

Rogue Valley in Oregon. If Portland didn't exist, we'd be a red state we love Trump here

Same in Pennsylvania, but replace Portland with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

He still incited a massive, record migration of voters to switch parties to the right, and pulled a lot of them out of the woodwork too.

Cool. I've always loved Oregon. I've biked the whole coast and a bit inland through the gorge and Portland. Thinking about moving to Seattle or Portland to advance my career but also trying to convince my parents to retire out there (not inside Portland), they'd love it.

It's a beautiful state tons of old people come here to retire some billionaire lives across the highway from me
I think that's how it is in all the states hes not leading in, just a few large metropolitan areas full off dindus and sjws offsetting the rest of the state

Yeah I have the towering shelf portion. It's like it's attached by hinges so if you bump it the whole thing will rock a bit but not enough for me to really worry about. All of it used to be my great grandfather's I think which used to be my dad's when he was a kid. I just love how it's all designed to fit perfectly next to each other.
