some of you guys may remember my post a couple of weeks ago where I mentioned that after using my PGs in my main Les-Paul for a year I heard a live recording of the band and was concerned my tone was too thinand bright.
Well, I gotta say like a fool (and I've been playing for 25yrs!) I hadn't tried playing with the tone controls on my Marshall. I've always had them set at 12 o'clock, which really suits my other Paul. DOH!!!!!!
I've tamed the treble by knocking back the presence and boosting the bass and middle - Wow! We rehearsed last night and my pups did everythingI wanted from them, I couldn't fault my tone (playing is another matter!)
I love Cream tones, I love Kossoff and Billy Gibbons but I also love Warren Haynes , Audley Freed, Gary Moore and even higher gain guys too like John Sykes lead tone. My tone now covers this whole spectrum as I turn the volume control on the guitar and hence increase the gain. Thick, sweet, warm and singing.
If there are any guys out there with similar tastes, you gotta check the Pearlys out!
Hope I haven't bored you too much with this post - just wanted to share my findings.
