A question to all who have an electric guitar!!!

my electric guitars amp sounds fuzzy when i play more than 1 string... like for example if i play a g cord i cant really hear the cord because it is sooo fuzzy sounding...... any help would be appreciated

Turn down the gain, get a better guitar, get a better amp... There's a ton of possibilities.

my guitar is a jagmaster made by fender squier. my amp is a 15 watt. (im a begginner) the amp is a peavey vypyr. so it is a good $230 amp i think. my guitar is good too

Well, the cord from the guitar to the amp might have a short, mine's done that before.

Don't worry, I have a small amp too, and I've been playing for 5 years. But as long as it's loud and it works (and my neighbor doesn't call the cops lol)

ya that could be possible. i just dont know. i tried looking online and couldnt find anything

 

[flamer]

that just means it's not a big deal.

I know it has been said, but turn the gain/distortion down, check your tuning (being out of tune will produce dissonance when playing chords, giving it a distorted sound) and what was said of the instrument cord can cause sound issues too. Lastly, and I'm hoping this wouldn't be the problem, but the actual amp could be the problem. But play around with the other variables before you worry about a new amp.... hope that helps
