Just curious what guitars people here are using for ambient or ambient-like music. After the tuba, I started playing metal on the bass and the guitar, and I'm wanting to get back to my guitars, so I'm curious what everyone else is using
I own:
Carvin DC-125C w/ a coil tap, so I can sorta pretend to get single coil strat-ish tones out of it. It only has a single pickup in the bridge.
A Schecter low/mid end 7 string with humbuckers at the bridge and neck. Model escapes me, but it plays decently.
ESP Ltd B-305 5-string with active electronics.
Of course I'll play whatever instrument I like; I'm just curious what the ambient guitarists here tend to use, or if there's a wide variety going on
Feel free to talk about overdrives, amps, effects, etc, too. Strymon and Neunaber stuff looks and sounds amazing in demos, and I'm starting to become a fan of the Zoom G5 as a multi effect. Right now my Octatrack is my main external effects unit, and looper, though the Monomachine has a sweet delay.
