Yeah, i guess you can see them like that too, that makes sense!

Not a huge Metallica fan, so from a bit of an objective standpoint - It's cool how they're going "back to their roots" somewhat and with a better production than the last album it seems, but there's something about a multi-millionaire rockstar, who probably has every comfort in life and has...

I've been putting those little packs of silica gel you get in Dunlop strings in my guitar case in the hope of keeping my strings and hardware fresher longer seeing as the idea is they pick up all the moisture that could cause rust. Think there's anything in this theory, or does anyone else do this?

Guitar looks cool and is obviously good quality, but I've said it before - Lynch is really going off the boil for me. I LOVED his playing on the LM albums and loads of the Dokken stuff but nowadays I'm sure he's got a bit sloppier maybe? Can't quite put my finger on it, but his recent tone...

Weird that he would have dummy Marshall heads onstage, he's almost always had his heads in the tech area and just cabs on stage, so it's strange he would do this! I like how he's gone back to the Jubilees though for that classic live GN'R sound (Not that his tone is ever substandard really)!

Sounds good like we thought it would, but it's not exactly the Brown Sound. Need to hear an A/B with a 6L6 version. It's a shame Ed never did anything with Marshall and clone his original Plexi, maybe with a switch ala KK's "The Beast" mode.

No matter what the gear, as soon as I hear chorus on distortion it just reminds me of a cheap multi-fx pedal on "Stadium rock" preset. Let's hear it raw, son!

Yeah, I know haha, I actually really like them tbh! There's always some other great pickups out there though of course :lol: :LOL:

Got the SSH+ and SSV in the bridge and neck and I really like them, but we know what we're like with our GAS problems, so if I was looking for some new ones, what do you think I should go for? Something medium gain with a lot of clarity for the bridge and something nice and plummy and round...

Yeah, but it was a Marshall for Hideaway and that album though, famously, so I just wonder what changed between then and Cream?

Maybe I wasn't making myself clear enough - compare the throaty brown sound of Hideaway with Bluesbreakers, to the almost "straight into the desk" sound on this track from the Layla album post Cream. This is what I was getting at, maybe they started recoding his guitar differently...

Really nailing those Ozzy tones with that Fractal... and playing of course!

Clapton's playing and songwriting is obviously deservedly praised. His set at Knebworth '90, and the rest of the gig with other bands on it my parents recorded, is what got me into guitar when I was 8 (His Soldano years there too). Buuuut... his tone on Cream studio records and the Derek...

I.... didn't understand any of that! I'll take your word for it ;) That Major of yours beats most amps around imo.

Wow, never knew that. That just with the Major or other types of Plexis too?

I should also add that it's just that sound you demo'd, I'm sure you can get loads more tones from your rig, I'm not trying to be mean or anything!

If you're putting up a clip there might not always be people, like myself, who like it. Imo you've spent thousands and not really ended up with something that great, but of course others might disagree. (No-one has actually commented on the sound you get itself though if you notice). Here's my...

Excellent tone and playing, that particular Major really is a special amp! How does it sound with a nice OD pedal in front of it out of interest?

The whole "going right up to the crowd and playing in their face for ages" thing? Not so much for me; makes me REALLY uncomfortable when guitarists do that! Very authentic guitar sound though! :thumbsup:

What is it you like about their tones on the classic albums for example? Just trying to understand it as I don't hear it! That Wickerman clip was ok, maybe it sounds a lot beefier live?
