Topic: Theoretical V. Sound

Hey, I'm kind of new to electrics. I've been playing my acoustic for a couple of years,  and thought I'd try to play a little AAR on my electric, but can't seem to figure it out. I mean I can play the chords and stuff, but it doesn't sound remotely like what I want it to. I think I need an effects pedal, but am not sure. Please help!

Re: Theoretical V. Sound

Who are AAR? What kind of a sound are you after? Distorted sounds can vary alot depending on the amplifier. Most amps can give a decent fuzzy grunt but if you are after a particular metal style then you may want a virtual amplifier like the Pod2 or Vamp2, these have a whole heap of presets and you can tweak amp settings to your hearts content. If you still hanker after a special amp sound they'll give you alot of clues about what kind of amp you need.

Re: Theoretical V. Sound

Do you have your electric guitar already. Do you have a decent amp, and if so you can always go to the music store and try some floor boards, who have a lot of possibilities, from distortion, space sounds, bubbles, and it can be possible you'll find your answer there. But as cytania tells (in fact the same) do it. You won't regret.
