Posts of my band - guitar sound advice wanted

[Maggot]

Here's a link to my band's page. It's pop-rock stuff. I'm playing the lead guitar parts on a MIM Standard Strat with Fat 50s pickups through a Peavey Delta Blues (most of it) and a Deluxe Reverb Reissue (some solos). Me and the other guitar player (Tele) both play rhythm. All my stuff is played with the bridge pickup only. I was thinking of replacing it with a cool rail or a low output humbucker so the rhythm tone would have a little more body live. Any other guitar tone suggestions? As you can see I like a little more treble and a little less gain than your average Joe.

Cool indie rock! Lots of attitude in the vocals.. sorry, I like Reese's vocals more Reminds me a little of Concrete Blonde and Velvet Underground. Your guitar playing is right in the pocket.

Hey - Thanks for listening everyone. Xerxes, I used an Guyatone mini-OD2 (a little orange tube screamer type thing with no tone knob) on most of it. On the solo for "The Second Wife" I also used an AKAI intelliphase (great pedal, you can find them on Ebay for aboput $35). On the panned solos for Marianne, and on the riff for "The Second Wife" I used a Fulltone Fulldrive. All Fender Fat 50s bridge pickup. We did record it in a relatively small cheap studio.

Definitely not the female vocals. Both sound more 80s to me.

I dig your tone....not much I would suggest changing about it. Catchy songwriting too.

This is the kind of music that I think would sound cool in a small bar, where everyone knows everyone, having a brew or two, and just having fun. Nothing too serious, but still basic good rockin'.
