fender amplifiers for sale
Help setting up my guitar?
I am a beginner, I recently purchased an black Ibanez GRG 170 DX, a Korg GA-40 Guitar/Bass tuner, and a Fender Frontman 10G amplifier. Were my selections good for a beginner, I only purchased them because they were on sale from their retail price. The Ibanez retails for $350.00, I purchased mine for $231.00?
Well I don’t understand the meter display on the tuner, I need to get a solid green light? Even when it gets to the solid green light the guitar still sounds out of tune. And it sounds even worse when I play it using the amplifier, there are four controls on the amplifier; gain, volume, treble, I just want it sound normal as I learn to play, when I play it sounds distorted?
The most helpful answer will be chosen.
Thank You
I did buy this guitar online yes, I purchased everything online.
Hi, the rig you got is just fine for someone learning to play.
As for how to use the tuner (and how to tune a guitar generally), its hard to explain but easy to show. So, find a guitar player and have them show you. If you bought it in a store, go back to the store and have someone there show you how to use the tuner. If not, find someone who plays – maybe at your school, or church, or a friend?
Another idea for tuning is to buy a dvd lessons, which will show you how to tune and also give you the tones you need, so you don’t have to use the tuner.
As for the distortion coming from the amp, again its hard to say for certain without seeing the amp itself. Some amps have a distortion channel – usually a switch or a push-button to turn it on and off. Otherwise, if you have the gain high and the volume low, it will distort. Turn the gain down and the volume up a little and it should be okay.
Sorry this isn’t a more definitive answer! Some things are hard to do over the internet. Have fun playing!
