I want a 80s thrash metal sound and I have an Orange Crush 60C Amp and a Jackson King V JS32. What pedal(s) should I get.
So, I have a jazzmaster, but I’ve always wanted an SG just based on aesthetic and the p90’s, but my friend and I are starting a shoegaze band in the summer. As it’s my 18th birthday in June, my parents have offered to put the final bit of money towards an sg I’ve been saving for, however I don’t know how well SG’s work for shoegaze, and if they do, would i be best getting a junior special or standard. I get most of the sound comes from my already huge pedalboard, but I know every shoegaze adjacent band uses Jazz/Jag/Mustang. I’m also planning on buying a Roland Jc-40 so any comments on that are welcome.
For reference we’ve done some jamming and played a lot of mbv ozean swirlies and also some sonic youth style stuff.
I currently have a Gen 3 Boss Katana 100 which works fine for what I mostly play (shoegaze, grunge, and sludge metal) but I mostly just leave it on the clean setting and use pedals so I was wondering of any of these similarities priced amps would sound better as a pedal platform?
Recently purchased another V4. One has the Master Volume mod and the other is stock. The stock one sounds better. One is early 70’s Silver face and the other is late 70’s. The early 70’s has no mods and rips!

Hello! I'm completely new to wiring and electrical stuff. I'm thinking of buying two vintage 16 ohm speakers for my 2x12 Cab. My current speakers are V30s and are wired in parallel. However the vintage speakers only have two lugs whereas my current V30s have 4 lugs. What are some ways I could wire the vintage speakers? Im aiming for parallel wiring with no difficult soldering needed. The terminal on my input jack has one negative wire and one positive. Would I be able to get a three way splitter for each wire to give the positive and negative wires two ends and then give each speaker a positive and negative connection?

I want to start lessons this year for the electric guitar. I haven’t bought a thing yet but have been doing research and looking at recommendations online. I’ve decided on the Pacifica 612v (Indigo or Teal) and have made lists of everything I might need. Based on your experience, if you had to buy everything from scratch, what would your ideal shopping list be (within a reasonable budget)? I’m in the UK.
This is what I’m thinking so far:
Guitar - Yamaha Pacifica 612v. I prefer the indigo but the teal is currently on offer for £699 and the indigo has just gone back up to over £800. I wasn’t planning on buying just yet but the offer may mean that changes.
Amp - I’ll be practicing at home so I thought the Mustang Mini Micro Plus would be a good choice. Previously on at £109 but has jumped up to £115.
Gig bag - Really want the Gator GT Electric GRY transit serial but it’s £97 and not sure if I can justify the price. Now everything else (at cheaper price) I’ve seen looks shit in comparison.
Picks - I’ll probably start with the Dunlop Variety at about £7.56 and will try out others on my list at some point.
Headphones - no idea. I’ve been looking at open back ones but I don’t want anyone to hear me so need to start looking again.
Strings - Will likely start with Ernie Ball but I’ve got a list of others I’ll try. D’Addario, Elixir etc.
Winder, string cutter, strap, stand, cleaning items, jack etc. - I’ve had a general look at these but nothing standing out here. Anything I’m forgetting? I have no previous experience at all so not looking at pedals etc. just basics to get started.
Does anyone have the MMM plus and have any issues seeing the display i f it’s plugged into the bottom of the guitar? I’ve seen someone has invented a clip for it which attaches to the guitar strap but it’s on Etsy and the seller doesn’t deliver to the UK. Is it awkward using the tuner from that angle?
What does your list look like?
Any advice or suggestions welcome.
Thanks
I have a Fender GTX that I love and I'm looking for a second amp.
I can not decided between the Blackstar & Vox. I want something that doesn't require an app, has a way to adjust the power, and is different than the Fender.
Thanks!
Inherited this and would really appreciate any information on it good or bad.

I've been wanting a classical guitar for a little while now and I've made the decision to buy one but I don't have a big budget. So if someone could help me find one for a low price but still good quality that would be amazing
