    Where/when did "modern" guitar tone begin?

    To this day I start all my amps on the 5150 6-6-6 setting lol. It's my version of starting at noon lol

    Most unique sounding humbuckers?

    L500-XLs have a thing. Wagner Ironman is it's own thing. Bare Knuckle Warpig is similar, but also unique in it's own way. Bareknuckle Ragnaroks are different in that very high output and thick... yet clear and the split/parallel tones are suprisingly great. Pickup reminds me of a good...

    PRS 85/15 replacement pickups & alnico 4 magnet swap results?

    I have not stuck A4 in those pickups, but I have them in Motor City black belts (8.2 ish K PAFs) and they sound great. I also have a high output Wagner Ironman with A4 swapped in that sounds good too. I have grown to like A4 quite a bit. To my ears it opens the pickups up a bit. Hard to...

    les paul + brobucker + a3?

    I kinda want to try a brobucker some day now. I have never tried one, but I have a good amount of experience with the 10K Godwood from Wagner. For me that is not dark or muffled at all, if anything feels very bright and cutting compared to my usual high output bridge pickups, so I want to see...

    Low and medium output pickups for metal

    I liked the 59 with an A2, Pearly was cool. Motor City Black Belts (didn't like the 2nd degree tho)

    les paul + brobucker + a3?

    I have used a Wagner Godwood, which is a 10K PaF on roids type pickup, with A2 and I thought it was great. I also use his 22K Ironman with A2 and it equally sounds great. I don't think A2 always equates to dark and muddy in good quality higher wind pickups.

    Your Favorite Chorus Pedal

    I like the detune on a Whammy pedal for chorus. Keep wanting to try a waza dimension chorus, or maybe the smaller detune pedal so I can have that sound and do annoying whammy things lol.

    Gibson's Biggest Problem Isn't The Price

    Kinda why I like Ola. He sticks to his wheel house. Doesn't really try to be anything other than what he is. Does it chug or not? It's that simple lol. I also just appreciate his goofyness. Feels like I'm watching someone real.

    Gibson P90 mounting plate alternatives?

    Your insight is one of the reasons I come back here. Good way of putting it.

    Gibson's Biggest Problem Isn't The Price

    I used to watch him a lot. Still can appreciate some of what he says here and there... but... more and more he just comes off as a meme to me. Most of guitar Youtube for me has gotten really stale. Ola still feels authentic. Most just come off as a sales guy for Guitar Center.

    Gibson P90 mounting plate alternatives?

    This has me wondering if the p-90 plates inhibit the sound of Gibson's regular P-90s?

    Expensive Pickups that should song great but don't

    I don't like Fluence very much. Would rather have an EMG 81 personally. I didn't much like the Motor City 2nd Degree Black Belt that people raved about. Much preffered the first one. That's taste though.

    Your fav pick ups for an ES-335 style guitar ?

    I've liked my Motor City Black Belts. I believe a4 and around 8.2 on the neck, 8.4 on the bridge. Only PAF style pickups I've kept in a guitar not counting various neck pickups paired with more modern ones. They do a thing.
