Yeah, I was gonna mention it sounded too "P" and too little "J" to me, exactly. What kind of amp does the guy use?

I posted a thread asking about if anything had changed about EMG's a few years ago because I got a few EMG's that sounded way off. Turns out, they changed a component inside the preamp in the late 2010's. I hate to be the guy that says "older is better", but pre 2018 EMG's definitely sound more...

I wouldn't buy one. I can't afford it. But the 4K+ pricetag doesn't seem THAT outrageous to me for an amp that's USA-made, PRS-branded, and Dumble-inspired. I mean, yeah, obviously it's expensive. But it's kind of the archetypical expensive amp. I don't find the pricetag surprising. I just...

Vipers have a thicker body than SG's, though. I think '59's would fit.

What about regular old '59's? I loved them when I had them. I like them better than the WLH's, TBH, even though I still like the Whole Lottas.

JB/490R. :) It's a Les Paul Tribute.

So I ordered a couple push/pull (or rather, push/push, really) 500K pots. One, I used in the bridge position with a JB. In one position, it sees a 300K-ish load. In the other, it sees 500K. It's cool to have both sounds available, subtle as the difference may be. However, I've got another spare...

So I did it. The difference is subtle, and it does reflect more on the high mids than on the actual highs, but I can work with it. I like the results. I did use a 1M resistor rather than 500K because that's what I have at hand. In the end, the pot on the down position was reading 320-ish K, and...

Yeah, my Modern Lite looks like that too.

Does the back of the body/neck have grain filler? Both my Tribute and my Modern Lite have the satin Nitro finish, similar to those, I suppose. But the Lite has no grainfill, and the Tribute does. They do have a different feel and look. I like both. Just curious about the BFG's.

Thank you.

Thank you! Does the ground go to the casing on the DPDT?

I'm the guy who uses the volume wide open all the time, really. Just some backing off from time to time, but it's rare. I do hear a difference, though, from changing values. I don't think it's subtle. Especially not based on the graphics freefrog shared. There is a 4dB difference in one from...

Or if you decide to experiment, the experiment didn't work out, and you want to return back exactly where you were. :D I understand some people who like to do their adjustments by ear or by feel. I do it too for the most part. But it's always better better to measure. I don't see how it can...

So... if I wanted to go through with my push pull ideas, could somene please point me to what terminals the resistor should be added? And which should be jumpered? I assume those two terminals should connect to the outer and inner lug of the pot, right? And to to gound? What goes to ground...
