    Seymour sig?

    Indeed, both of them.

    Wiring discussion

    Master volume, master tone, normal 5-way with vol/tone push-pull Triple-shot wiring on the humbucker. I have noiseless singles, so 500k works for me all around. I can always roll back the tone if it's too bright, but you can't roll it back in if it's not there to start with.

    What guitar are you playing today?

    The white one. EDIT: I guess Imgur links don't work anymore. It is a white Brian May guitar.

    UAD plugins - can't get them to sound even close to decent

    Does the pedal have an IR or speaker emulation built-in that the plug-in doesn't have? Perhaps you could just EQ the plug-in or add a cabinet emulation to get it back to that sound?

    UAD plugins - can't get them to sound even close to decent

    What about it sounds 'wrong'? What were you running the Dream '65 into? Are you running the output of your Luna / '65 into the same amp/speakers?

    What sort of shoegazer are you?

    Back in the day, I actually played in a band making those kind of sounds and music like that (though we did some other stuff too), but I never actually heard the term "shoegaze" until about 15-20 years after that movement was largely over. It seems to have resurged in certain circles in the...

    Few Words

    Sounds epic. Shades of Kansas meets Jethro Tull, but still your own thing really. The Orange sounds great.

    Wiring Diagram for HSS, 1 volume 1 tone with 5 way super switch and dual 250k/500k pots

    You shouldn't need a super switch or dual-ganged pots. You're making it unnecessarily complicated and you are going to have tone artifacts with the bridge and middle on and both 500k and 250k pots mixed at the same time. There are plenty of diagrams out there for HSS that have a simple...

    Gibson SG faded pot values

    450k is right at the edge of 500k @10% tolerance. Don't know what the current Gibson specs should be. I have a PC board from my LP Studio, but I'd have to find it to measure. I don't think the volumes were 250k though. Could be 300k, but I thought things were all 500k by now, but it could...

    Factory pickup heights

    Didn't know Seymour Duncan had recommended default pickup heights, but they revealed a couple in this article. Would like to see more recommendations, just as a starting place...

    Any pickup mod idea before selling a Jumbo MFD equipped G&L ASAT special?

    Well, that's the first JagSATuar I've ever seen!

    Is all of this true?

    mighty mite? Just guessing.

    Ever Know Why

    I was already here before so I didn't see the update. It doesn't pop to the top of the forum room stack when you edit the first post. Song came out pretty good. Sounds like Kansas a bit (except the vocals).
