Want to play the Pack on your E Standard guitar strung with 008 gauge strings? Get a new guitar, or get a Digitech Drop Pedal. Here’s a great tool for those monthly (or weekly) tune ups of your axeĬhanging strings made easy, there’s a bass version available as well!Īre you always running out of Guitar Picks? Make your own!įor Rocksmith we recommend avoiding USB headsets, or expensive “beats” type ones… You’d be surprised how often somebody mentions that they lost this piece of their RealTone Cable, either in a move, or their dog ate it… Either way it’s an universal piece of hardware for all platforms! It costs 10x what the DI box method does and is excessive for just Rocksmith needs, but when you progress from the bedroom to a real stage, you won’t need to replace this bit of gear.Īre you planning on being away from your Guitar or Bass for an extended period of time? Don’t lose that finger strength with this hand exercise device from D’Addario. Flick the ground lift switch if necessary and you can lower your ingame players guitar volume when you want to hear your playing from your amp, or raise it up when you don’t want to use your amp.įor those with a bit higher budget, and the desire for a longer term option, the Radial Big Shot AB/Y is the “industry standard” choice for splitting a guitar signal. You will need a Female XLR to Female 1/4 adapter to use the DI correctly, these are not a particularly common adapter, but even the extra $7 needed still brings the split to an amp solution in under $20Ĭonnect your guitar to the input jack of the DI, connect your amp to the PAROUT using a regular guitar cable then connect the XLR-1/4 adapter into the Balanced Out (XLR) jack and your real tone cable into the adapter. A similar way to do this is with a dedicated AB/Y pedal – But the “default” choice one of those is $100 – this DI is only $10 and is passive, but you can spend 20x as much on a DI Box that – for these purposes at least – does the exact same thing.
