    Why my bridge single coil sounds harsh and lots of treble?

    I tried to lower the pickups but I lose attack. I also lowered the Mids, presence and treble but I lose Brightness on the middle and neck pickup. I know that works but I don’t wanna be adjusting the settings every minute. Is this normal??

    Are you guys still using tube amps? Are katana amps overrated?

    I own a peavey vypyr vip 3 amp and love the distortion on the 6505 but the other amps I don’t like them. The cleans are not good, can’t access the noise gate ( set by default ) and limited functions adjusting the effects. Also to much low end coming out from the amp with the bass knob set at 0...

    So my Fender lonestar is not suit for hard rock and metal?

    I took my lonestar MIM to a tech because the bridge pickup is noisy when palm muting ( like a hum, some static) but when the single coil is active on the bridge it gets a little quite but don't like the tone. Also on the g string when fretting higher notes it makes this tremolo effect noise. So...
