Right now My Eclipse Standard has Dimarzio Super D bridge & PAF 36neck , loving it. Previously EMGs, then PAF 36 bridge and neck. It killed with any of these, just my mood changes and so do the pickups.

That sounds fantastic.

I had those 2 amps for some years, and only those 2. My take on them: 5150 - pronounced low/mid grunt. meh cleans, but I played clean like 5% of the time. TVerb - even mids, maybe even a bit scooped sounding- sizzling upper mids and highs. Better clean channel. Depends on what you like; for me...

-Duncan Custom Custom. When I tried a Tone Zone, yea it added thunderous bass, but didn't fix the ice pick problem. -EMG 85

Jimmy Page- Stairway, live version (song remains the same)

I stole a used one- in like '87 for $350...sold it a couple of years ago for $350

The TAD 6L6 WGC-STR is magic in my 5150. These are the short bottle 6L6's. The winged -C- has a great chuga chuga sound, but the TAD (or whatever label of this short bottle 6L6 you want to run) has the juiciest mids.

Duncan Custom Custom. For me, the Tone Zone adds a huge bottom end, but doesn't address the hi mids & highs- didn't work for me. EMG 85 works too.

Duncan Custom or Duncan Screamin Demon

Ran one in the bridge a long time ago, I liked it. I remember some comments of older, seasoned musicians- to the effect of " Man, that Les Paul really sounds like a Les Paul!". I eventually swapped out, just for a change.

I tried a Tone Zone in my icepick; all it did was add a huge bottom end...didn't work for me. Duncan Custom Custom smooths it out. EMG 85 smooths it out. No experience with the rest of your candidates.

uhh , sorry I sorta overlooked that aspect...I have no idea....they were drop in for my Les Paul. They are the finest tuners I have ever used.

Gotoh Delta 510, with the 21:1 ratio.

"Listen with your Ears, not your Eyes"

One could do rock and hard rock all day long on a 5150/6505. Lead channel with the gain on about 3.5 ..... skip the channel switching, and use the guitar volume knob. Compared to my (ex) Tremoverb, the Tremoverb had a looser bottom end, and allot more pronounced "sizzle" could be dialed in; my...

I blew a GB up in a 4x12 with a 50 watt Marshall 2204 once. Yes, I was trying hard to be stupid. I replaced that blown speaker, and have pounded that cab for 10 years, with 5150s and dual rectos- no problems. Use common sense.

I feel your pain. I think most who've really tried to get some good tone - we know the variables. There's no magic, silver bullet. It's work! Like you said, "moving mics an stuff, 8 hours have passed". I read a M. Wagener post on GS, talking about the 1st Skid Row album....they spent 3 full...
