Hey doomers. I've recently got back to playing guitar, after many years of not doing so. I used to play mostly classic rock and stuff like Metallica. Now, since then I've gotten bit by the bug of doom. Sabbath, Candlemass, Electric Wizard, Sleep, the classics of the genre and more. And now, I want to make my own sound. My current guitar is an Ibanez Gio with a Floyd Rose bridge, and I can't really bother with setting it up anymore. I'm going to buy a new guitar with a fixed bridge, potentially another Ibanez or an LTD Tele as I like their feel. I can't really choose a tuning to stick with, however. I'm between D standard, C# standard or C standard, and their respective drop tunings. Which ones do you guys use? I'm thinking of using 10-54 strings, skinny top heavy bottom, but I might go 11-60.
Apart from that, I'm planning a budget pedalboard, as things are expensive in my part of the world. Current plan is: Joyo Splinter for a Rat sound, DOD Carcosa for that sweet fuzz, Joyo Oxford for that Orange sound, Caline Multimod for modulations, and Caline Ragnarok for Delay/Reverb. Any more recommendations or suggestions?
