Nothing scientific here. Didn’t record with the intention of sharing and it shows ? . Both are going into a dual rectifier. Curious what you guys hear besides the low E being out of tune on the Wolfie.

If I didn't know better I would think you were eluding to the fact that the G&L has a distinct Jerry Cantrell tone going on.........Even without the riffs I hear it in the tone regardless of the fact you are playing a Dual Recto....
I liked it better than the Wolfgang, the tones seemed more solid that way they sound and ring out.

sounds great! Is that the new rampage? How do you like it? I almost got a tribute a few years ago but was worried about the Kahler.

I wasn’t intentionally doing that but I see what you mean. I expected the Rampage to sound like any other superstrat but it really doesn’t - has its own vibe going. Pretty muscular and full bodied. I find the Peavey to be a little more scooped with more lows and highs but lacking the mid push the G&L has.If I didn't know better I would think you were eluding to the fact that the G&L has a distinct Jerry Cantrell tone going on.........Even without the riffs I hear it in the tone regardless of the fact you are playing a Dual Recto....

Hey man yea it’s the new one. I’m digging it. Only had it a few weeks but so far I can’t put it down. Stock pickup is a little underpowered for my taste so that’s the only change I’ve made - threw in a kramer eruption pickup

G&L seems to sound a bit more authoritative and resonant/in your face. Also seems to have a low mid thing going on.
Wolfgang sounds exactly how I remember mine sounding - balanced top to bottom and nothing really out of balance sonically. That’s both a good and bad thing as it can sound bland to some ears or apologetic. I’ll say not all Wolfgang’s sound like that - I had one that sounded like this and another that sounded DARK and uninspiring.

I think you nailed it on your Wolfie take. Another thing that has to be mentioned is the neck - prob the most “worn in catchers mitt” feeling guitar I’ve played. I barely have to try to do anything which is a fun feeling. I could see how it would be too cramped for some poeple though.

I loved the fits like a glove feeling of my Wolfgang’s both in size and the neck. I actually liked my Wolfgang special more than my standard - so much in fact I wore the frets off of it and then sold it to a collector. I’ve tried finding another that sounded and played as good as that one even though it was a low end special with no luck.

I prefer the Peavey hands down. Way more aggressive and way more clarity. Just the first few big open chords and I already knew.
The G&L is much less focused, has a less clear low midrange and doesn’t have anywhere near the clarity. But that’s my thing. I prefer the overall clarity and string separation over the thicker sounds.

Peavey has more clarity and warmth. Pickups are big part of that

Funny story about that. The eruption that’s in the rampage is the same design. I liked the peaveys so much I reached out to Jim DeCola and asked what I could buy in the current market and he told me he designed the current eruption pickup to the same spec as the Peaveys.

G&L sounds great to my ear.
