It's all part of the vibe. ;)

Let's hear a clip then. :yes: Seriously, I used a DS1 as an overdrive into a crunch sound, great results. Even works with the gain at '0'. Fat lead sounds. Schon and a bunch of other legends used it this way. As a distortion pedal...maybe not so much. FWIW I think the Suhr Riot sounds much...

Try emailing the guys at Suhr, they can guide you towards the sounds you're after. Birds Eye is a bit of a gamble, but the quartersawn has a nice sound to it. Maybe ask them about ash as a body wood for more sparkle?

This is true. I just did a gig last weekend with a Riot into a Deluxe Reverb! It was pretty shocking how good it sounded. :rock:

Original 3+ has more gain, a bit more upper mid bite and the EQ section has a slight mid scoop (around 1K or so). SE is smoother all around. I have both versions, and I love 'em.

Hey that's pretty cool! Chub, off topic kinda, what's your take on the Adrian Smith Jackson? I played one at NAMM, had a nice old Charvel vibe...?

The OD in the 402 is a little quirky. I like it going into a dirty amp. Depending on where your guitar volume is set, it behaves differently... Going from 8 to 10 are almost completely different sounds. It's great for guys that ride their volumes (like me). I don't use it into a clean amp, you...

'Sustainless?' LOL My experience was SS affects the attack more than the decay of a note. Some like it, some don't, that's what is cool about having options. :yes:

Have you tried those speakers in a different cabinet? Just sayin'

The C45 is my favorite of the three. Just a bit more sparkle & chime

Yeah Dave, that's the joy of it...we're all different and like different things. Life would suck if everybody sounded the same. ;) My appreciation for EMGs may be ending, but I'm discovering cool sounds with other stuff I would have overlooked in the past. Thanks for the Fat Switch and...

The Suhr Modern in my avatar has the Adlrich pups too. They rock the 5 way that's for sure. So many sounds it's nutz. Dave (& everybody else) don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the mods, I just think my ears are changing & it's good to get feedback. I'm just liking clearer pickups...

Yeah man, I've never tried the BK stuff, I heard a recent clip with the Mules I thought sounded great. And of course I was there at the Steve Stevens show, the tone was stupid good. :yes:

Actually I guess I'm referring to the Duncan LP, my other two have the Suhr SSH+, and sound pretty darn good! The other guitars in question have EMGs, I'm not digging those with the mods, maybe I need to tweek some more. I think I'm getting tired of that sound, that could be part of it. :scared:

It's very subtle but nice to have.

Good to know I'm not on crack! ;) Thanks guys. I'm thinkin' my Les Pauls are a little too high output. Easy fix though :) BTW I'm using C45 like 99% of the time. Nice top end

Just curious, what kinds of guitars/pickups are you guys using into your Friedman Marshalls/Marshas? High output or more vintage style? I'm personally finding lower powered guitars sound better thru my SLP modded Marshall (HBE-BE-C45). My gain is usually set at around noon. My Suhr Classic with...

I think he runs all that wet/delay stuff on purpose. That housewife fan base would get all up in a tizzy if they could actually hear all that speedy guitar playing! :yes:

For a Jackson or Charvel I'd recommend contacting GMW http://www.gmwguitars.com/
