Gibson 335 pickup options

Re: Gibson 335 pickup options

Only in his later years did he use the distortion and reverb you're talking about - most of his career he used just a Tele and Fender amp, that is what he is known for - for example he made Wah-Wah effects from the Tele before the Wah-Wah pedal was invented - I used to use a volume/tone pedal for a while mid 60's before the Wah-Wah came out. Roy used a variety of sounds coaxed from his Tele and I'm surprised that you can't hear that listening to any of his recordings - would you like me to find you some links?


All of the Roy I've ever heard has had a ridiculous amount of distortion and reverb, and annoying pinch harmonics. I didn't know he had any recordings with a sane amount of effects.

But back on topic, even as an audience member, to me guitarists that constantly adjust their pots are a distraction. There's a tremendous amount of subtleties possible with the fretting hand, and that's where I like to see them focus.
