Is this tone possible to get with a Strat?

The strat has a QP in it so its in the range of a P90 with output. Maybe with some gain and a noise gate? Go ahead, laugh if you want to.

Heaviest tones I ever got out of a "single replacement" in a strat was the lil 59 bridge....I was getting Deftones tones circa around the fur for days as well as a pretty good sepultura type tone as well.....

eq pedal.

with enough gain you could get that "tone" out of almost anything...

There's an old pedal from..uh..(opens new tab and googles) Seymour Duncan!! that slaps pickup frequencies around a bit and makes a single sound like a humbuggie. Having said that, rolling off your tone and pushing a boost pedal into your amp may help. EQ will do it for sure.

What gets me close enough to a humbucker is a tone control on the bridge pickup set to about 7 and a mid heavy overdrive. Its not nearly "that" level of gain, though. The noise level associated with that much gain might make the QP unusable.

I can pump a lot of gain on the bridge pickup with a Suhr SSC without a lot of added noise, that's not cost effective but a stacked humbucker should be just as quiet.

I'd say to really just turn up the gain and treble in general. Not my cup of tea but whatever.

I got that kinda tone out of all my Strats. High powered humbucker in the bridge, and plenty of gain and some EQ shaping. Easy.

What's good to me might not be good to you. Stop trying so hard.

I got that tone with a good amount of gain, a noise gate, and an eq pedal. Worked like a charm.

Easy hoss...I'm just trying to help you.

A tone like that is all about gain and extreme EQ...and when you get that much EG and gain working the pickup and guitar become almost not important.

So then maybe you see my point...

Yeah. Darken it with your tone control, use a noise gate to curb the 60hz and run into a flagship head with enough gain to saturate.

First, a QP is the most humbucker-like single coil out there, so you're already ahead of the game in that regard.

Second, TGWIF is right about gain + EQ being the most important factor in a tone like that.

IN Andrews defence, i think the use of inverted commas for "tone" made Christian's post seem a little condescending. There is no right or wrong when it comes to sounds. Only personal preference.
