Check over at Grail Tone seems like I remember seeing some pretty easy mods to the lead channel to clean it up a bit and make it less muddy; but the simplest is to run EL34's in there and turn the bass off...
The low end is so flubby for me. I have the bass turned off and i feel like its still unusable. I use my Les Paul with Lollar imperial pickups and its just doesn't sound good to me.
I actually would like it to have more gain too.
I heard of a mod where you change the resister on the bass tone controll and that fixes everything (ie more gain and less low end). anyone every try this?
I had Lollar Imperials in my LP Custom and they were flubtastic. Couldn't get them out fast enough. By the way, got a set of Lollar Imperials for sale lol
An old bandmate had a lonestar. It was exactly as you describe, even with bass on zero it was flub city. An eq pedal before the amp could solve that non-invasively too though.
Is it the reeder mod where you make the volume pot the same value on CH 2 as it is on CH 1? But I'm not sure what tonal difference you can expect. I dig ch 1 on the lonestars but could never bond with ch 2. Maybe it needs the Schwartz?!
there are also some other mods that you can find on that board but I don't remember what they are right off hand. Seems like one was to swap the tone pots or something like that .
