Turkey Day Jam - looking for tone thoughts

[dstroud]

So I got this “play like Yngwie” course - not to play like yngwie, but just to get some insights on his technique. In the course of all that, started checking out all my stacked single coils lol I love the HS3 but it’s such a low output, the noisefloor of my amp was bugging me when I got to gain I could actually play. So I ended up with the Dimarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2. Here’s a quick clip - thoughts?? I think it has more character than a normal humbucker but I dunno - on the fence. Think buckers sound cooler??

I think it sounds GREAT!
Your playing would make anything sound great.

For me, too much low mids and somewhat dull top end. Doesn’t really sound like a single.
Singles sound good on some amps, Hiwatts and Fenders sound better with single coils to me.
My favorite noiseless bridge single is the Fralin split blade.

It’s good to go for different tones. Especially for recording. I sound alot alike thru different stuff as well, but there are times when I make myself make it different. Let it be what it is instead of making it into something you already have kinda thinking.

Lately I have been spending a solid two weeks at a time with a different rig. Last two weeks was the Hiwatt, learned alot. Not at all what I thought it was. Amd I have had that amp more than 20 years. Before that blackface Princeton. Surprising amp! This two weeks is a 66 Deluxe Reverb. Already quite surprising. After that will be the Triple Rectifier….
