how different straps change my tone.

[Mincer]

I have several Levy's padded leather straps (I am one of their artists), and I agree, the tone is amazing.

im a big fan of a good strap. each of my guitars has one, i try and fit the strap to the guitar. my favorites are some old levys padded leather ones ive had for almost 20 years. the tone is amazing!

That’s amazing. I have two nice ones, the rest are black nylon. Lol

You must sound amazing.

Kris had to lengthen his straps to get his loose, sludgy tone for grunge.

I've always been a fan of the Levy's leather straps.

How much does thread count in fabric straps affect tone?

[Blille]

I find that since I started using Couch straps my tone is more relaxed and leathery.

[jeremy]

nice! i should try and find one of those. i played a friends guitar with a wooden strap last night at the gig and i was surprised at how comfortable it was. i wasnt surprised at how warm and woody the tone was though, thats to be expected

I use a leather DR strap. It’s soft, smooth texture creates a sonic symbiosis with my DR Pure Blues strings that creates a buttery, fluid tone.

I must say it's annoying to always have this stupid thread on the front page of the vault which is supposedly an 'all-time best technical resource and read-only' subforum, while this thread is decidedly neither. Maybe someone could move it?

So glad you're not a mod. You just need to relax and discover the tonal world of straps. They make you feel so different that your tone improves in a myriad of ways.

Fat Straps = Fat Tone
