Switch Tip Fender
Why does my electric guitar sound like an acoustic, and what can I do about it?
Hi! I just bought my first electric guitar the other day. For some reason, it sounds like an acoustic guitar. The sound I'm looking for is alternative/punk rock, specifically for Green Day, Evanescence and Paramore's music. I've adjusted all of the guitar's and amp's settings except for the guitar's tuning knobs.
-I do not know ANY terms for the guitar. So if you could define terms as you go along that'd be great.
- Amp wattage is 10, it's a Squier. There's an Input plug for the guitar, volume, a "clean/OD" switch, treble, bass, volume and headphone plug-in.
- Guitar is a Fender. There's a volume knob, 2 tone knobs, some weird thing that moves and has a triangular tip and a plug for the amp
I was told to get a distortion pedal. Would this do the trick?
HAHA
"some weird thing that moves and has a triangular tip"
thats whats making it sound like an acoustic, on my guitar if i move it up its more bass-ish noise, down for a electric guitar noise, if u keep it in the middle itll sound like an acoustic
just play with it while strumming to see which side sounds like
