I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and assume that you use a proper tuner and not the one built into Bias FX to intonate yours. Not that I would ever do such a thing, of course! How utterly preposterous....

Huh. I have my LP set up with 12 - 56, tuned to C. I don't think any of the saddles are bottomed out. Maybe I just suck at intonating.

That sounds pretty rad, I wanna try that! Got a wiring diagram for it?

Noise gate and reverb is always on. And a Mooer Yellow Comp, to compensate for treble loss in the effects chain.

I gotta try that! I got the 50W Stealth about half a year ago and the one thing that really irks me is how the gain goes from zero to infinity up til noon and then the rest of the knob range does absolutely fuck all.

What does the swapped tube do?

I'll let you know when my band's next album drops, it's all JB through a 5153.

This isn't about what's better, I just need some help from the hive mind. I swapped from GHS Low Boomers (11 - 52) to a set of Ernie Ball Magnum Slinky (12 - 56) on my Les Paul (tuned to C standard) to tighten things up. I swear the low E is as loose if not looser than it was with the old...

Les Paul Studio Gothic. Basically the 90s Les Paul Lite with a different paint job.

Because I would much prefer to play the Les Paul. 24.75" scale length is just a lot more comfortable for me to play. And like I said, they don't have to sound exactly the same. I like what the JB does in that particular guitar, so I want something similar in a different setup.

I could. But the construction of the two guitars is vastly different, both in terms of materials, neck attachment, hardware and scale length. So I don't think simply sticking the exact same pickup into the latter would yield similar results.

That makes sense, although I didn't really hear the spike when it was in E standard either.

I have a Tone Zone in another guitar and I love it. It was actually my first go-to, but it's already kind of dark and warm, not sure how it would act in a LP.

Couldn't you achieve the same effect with a slower attack setting? Or is the outcome very different?

Just outta curiosity: I have Floyded Jackson Dinky, tuned to C standard, with a JB in the bridge position. It sounds fantastic, chugs when needed and cuts through very well. None of the infamous "spike" that some people complain about, at least not in this guitar and this setup. What would be...
