Hi everyone, between Extra light and light which one is good for rhythm and little picking? Also would you guys suggest medium for crisp & bold sound?

I like the medium because still bendable without the break factor. Some probably prefer the lighter gauges but those are too light for me. I tend to be rough on the strings.

The lighter the string, the brighter and chirpier the tone. I use medium for rhythm, and lighter gauge for lead, single note stuff.

Hi Bennison, I personally have finally settled on th EJ26-3d strings. They are a custom light .011-.052 and are a little easier onthe fingers while still giving you a full fat sound.

The best what? The best physical interface to use if you're making beats? That's kind of relative. I totally recommend hitting guitar center or Sam Ashe and playing around with what they have to see what feels right for you. Hell, you don't NEED one of these to make beats. I know Skrillex has said in interviews that he's comfortable with his mouse and plotting his drums that way. I don't know if he still does but there's that. Ultimately findingthe method that feels right for you and practicing unti you've got a feel for workflow.

Based on my familiarity with picks I've used compared to others they are perhaps slightly thicker than average, it's a rigid pick, however, the edges are beveled which to me engages the strings more smoothly. I was once talked into buying a similar brand, but the pick had flat edges. I felt like I was slapping the strings instead of pushing on them especially when trying to play a fast line (for jazz). This has become my pick of choice. I would buy them in larger quantities if available. I prefer red only because they are easier to spot if I drop one.

i would suggest the extra light, due to the fact you dont need so much stregth. But that is just my opinion. I use this for playing guitar. i use a medium stregth.

hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you. I personally own the coppers and i like them better. not to assume you are Indian, but if you are: indian music will def sound better on the pro coppers. The coppers have a wide sound stage (they still have plenty of bass that you can feel) vs. the golds. I personally don't like all my music blocked out by to much bass. I love the coppers and i would highly recommend them for overall music. But all you want is just bass then go gold. Also remember before you return either of them, i recommend a 50 hour burn in period (that really helps to bring out the music).

I use the dw3000 double bass pedal on it . works ok. make sure you have a good amp for this you want good sound don't have a weak amp. the bass pedal to be honest I am still struggling to dial it in for my feel.I also have played with the sensitivity and threshold to dial in the action for not having ghost hits the set I love and probably the weakest link is the hit hat pedal but playing with the settings can get it almost feeling real on the open and close. overall for the money and to take up drumming I love it.

sorry for the late reply. no drum beats here. you can always go for a zoom or a korg portable multi effects that come with drum patterns, but the effects are not as good as line6 IMHO.

Very personal thing..... Phosphor Bronze are not as bright sounding as the Bronze.... So i prefer less of bright chiming string(Phosphor Bronze). You may want to consider buying one of each... playing them over your next 2 string changes. If you do a lot of finger style playing, you may prefer the bronze. Hope this help!!

I personally find the RAT a lot less noisy in my chain and I like the nuances I get from the filter knob and hence the different kinds of distortion I get from it. But then again I guess it's a matter of personal preference and taste. I personally would pick the RAT over the Big Muff anytime but I'm sure there are others out there who think otherwise. Also, if you play on-stage live I really appreciate the clear light on this RAT especially when it's dark on stage. It's a lot easier to change the battery too if you are not connected to a power source. I realise these are not sonic features but as I stated above I am hesitant to say one sounds better than another because it really depends on your taste. I'd recommend you try out a few candidates at the store first to figure out the sound you wanna get and go from there.

Holy moly, I wish I had that problem..to choose between two companies with stellar offerings. The LS50 is exceptional, would I prefer a pair of Wilson Watt Puppies......in a heartbeat. But, as the monetary system collapses, you are probably far better off to get some acoustic instruments.

I have had the best luck with the Medium and Light Medium strings. I had a buzzing sound on my high strings and by mixing medium and light strings, was able to resolve my problem. For your situation, I would recommend the medium strings.

I'm happy with the acoustics, I use in a medium to small room, the high sounds are nice! My high is at level 10, too high going up. Maybe what you are looking for. Best wishes & enjoy!

Actually it has variation to play with different sound options, Regarding light it has LEDs, I am not sure in which context you are asking.

NOT just a display preference. The strobe is much more accurate. Standard modes are 0.5 cent accurate and strobe is .1 cent. From T.C. Electronics website: "Chromatic Champ Besides the Polyphonic tuner, PolyTune has a chromatic tuner that can hang with the best current tuning technology out there, with an amazing 0.5 cent accuracy. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Full Strobe Ahead The strobe tuner in PolyTune 2 is super accurate and super fast. Finetune your instruments with surgical precision at blinding speeds. Sounds good, right? We're talking +/- 0.1Cent tuning accuracy and in case you don't really know what that means - believe us there are atomic clocks that'd kill for that accuracy."

Hello, Alicia. Either one will be fine. It just depends on how light you want your highlight to be. The product is amazing and smooth and you only need to use a small amount. It will last you for a long time.

I think the medium tips would work. I use the large tips and they block out all outside sound. I only hear the music and in between songs I hear myself breathing.

If you like the warmer less "metallic' tones, you want to go with a med-heavy to heavy gauge (thicker) string. Of course, the type of guitar body (big, small, shallow, deep box) affects this too. I almost exclusively finger pick, which is why I go with mediums. You might look at a Bronze, rather than a Phosphor string as well. The D'Addarios are great strings.
