How long a HB/SC pickup lasts before it starts making noise? What kinds of problem you would typically expect from an old pickup, and please specify time (eg, after about 3 years HBs become dull but remains usable, etc). many thanks

Hey everyone, I want the amp to not make any noise. No noise/hiss in clean, and the least noise/hiss in overdriven dirty channel. (by the way, is there any such thing as a noiseless distortion?) So, I don't care how bad/impure/undesirable the "tone" is. I'm not bothered if it's tube or solid...

Hi, I started learning not much long ago. I have an Ibanez GRGR121EX and an Orange Crush Pix 35 LDX. Not top quality instruments but good enough to get me started. After a while, as you start to learn to play, you plan to buy new guitar and amp (I know I should focus more on practicing and...
