Fellow metalheads, i have a problem. i just recently moved and all i've been able to play through are a pair of cheap sony head phones. the nieghbors are strict on noise even though they make most of it and i'm flat broke. i have 8 cents to my name. so buying an amp is out of the picture (i had to leave my amp behind). It's only febraury so no one is hiring, so a job is out of the pic as well. and i cant mooch money of the folks that i'm living with, which are HARDCORE CHRISTIANS. i'm going to go crazy if i cant jam out of an amp soon. what should i do? the headphones are too tinny and they dont do my guitar any justice.

basicly you are screwed...

the only thing you can try is plugging your guitar into your hi-fi set and use distortion for amplification...

but wtf did you leave your amp behind?

__________________

i left it behind because my move had short notice, after all, my mom kicked me out. so i had to leave the cumbersome amp, and my warlock

i dont have a hi fi set. people in kansas are poor.

all i have for equiptment is my Ibanez RG 350 DX, my Boss ME - 30 pedal, and my cables and shit.

visit a big guitar store and play amps all day long.

if you're smart you can hide yourself in a guitar cabinet and sleep over, that way you can play longer, or even steal some stuff

go back and get your shit man.

__________________

i cant go back, remember? i have no cash. and i already have gone to the only music store in the area. there are barely any gitars there, and it's a high class joint so i cant turn it up. plus i cant stay all day, cuz the folks i'm staying with insist i find a job or live on the street.

You asked for help, but what can we do if you dont have any money and cant go back to fetch your stuff?

Maybe you expected us to give you the episode of the a-team where they soldered a 50-watt guitar amp out of a toothpick and old plumbing?

get one of those casset things with the cord that plugs into a portable cd player, you know, the kind people use in their cars. but instead of plugging it into a cd player, buy an adapter for like $1 at radio shack, and plug it into the output of your distortion pedal. then you can put the casset end into any cassest deck that will let the wire hang out, wether it be in your house or your car. walla! an amp!

that's a cool idea, you can use your car stereo as an amp, and jam it out at stop signs! impress the hot girl in the red convertible next to you! that's sweet

awesome thing to do when you're bored; one guy drives a car, and at each traffic stop, the guy in the passenger seat plays guitar and makes funny faces at the guy in the car next to him.

wow.. thats an awesome idea. i gotta try that someday.. well i have good news. i'm getting money and my ass is headed back to where my shit is. and then i'll be able to jam everyday. hell yeah!

Tell the people you are staying with that god told you that they either have to buy you a amp or die in their sleep.
Just after you tell them this stop a second and pretend to listen to a voice, them say "yea he said amp or die in your sleep". It worked for me!!
