Blackened Black Winter + Black Winter + Les Paul + Marshall Amps ( Non-Metal Clip)

[Jeffsmusic4919]

I finished upgrading my Les Paul, new hardware and pickups. I custom ordered a Black Winter Bridge with Blackened bobbins, thanks MJ. I Installed a Blackened Black Winter in the neck. This is a really great combination for me. The song clip is in the middle position mostly, the bridge position for an overdub.

Gr8 tune, sounds quite grungy to me, and I mean it as a positive compliment. The Black Winters are true flagship pickups, I am surprised everytime I plug them in how good they are and how much more they can do than just metal...

Is that neck pickup really a Black Winter too? looks more like a DiMarzio From here...

I have to agree - while I will play a Distortion clean wouldn't sound that good. Great clean tone.

That is a Blackened Black Winter. Some limited retailers have both neck and bridge. These aren't a normal production pickup.

The guitar was recorded with a marshall 6100LM on the A mode crunch channel on the left side. A mix of 25 watt green back and 75 watt speakers in slant cabs. The right is a JVM410HJS on crunch mode B. A mix of 25 watt green back and 75 watt in straight cabs.The bass is direct with a clean plugin and a JCM800 in Ampire. If you were to solo the channels, you will be surprised how much dirt is in there.

The reason I didn't choose the Distortion set or a Distortion/59 set, which I really like a lot in another guitar, is exactly the reason you mentioned, the cleans. this set is sort of a more modern version of a Distortio/59 set.

Grunge vibes with a little Goo Goo Dolls "Iris" in the minor bridge

Ahhh ... The magical 6100lm..... Practically tone sorcery in a black box!
sounds very nice. I don't know a clean tone from anything, but that sounds so good I might go learn how to!

The clean here is quite dirty sounding when listening solo. Don't get to wrapped up in amp choice, speakers are really important too. There are many good clean amps out there. Don't take advice from the internet as gospel truth, use it as a starting point. Find what you like as far as guitar, amp, pickups, speakers and make it sound like what YOU want to hear. Then adjust for a band setting if necessary.
