Alright, this is the Tone section, and I am its master.

That being established:


  1. What is "that tone" that you are all seeking?

  2. What equipment do you use/would you use to achieve it?

  3. Have you reached "that tone" yet?



For me:

  1. It's somewhere in between Slash, BB King and David Gilmour, and a mix of them all. Basically, a nice, pure, overdriven sound with plenty of sustain. Actually, some of Gilmour's tones are too processed for me. I like the sound of a guitar into an amp dialed up to 9.

  2. I'm probably going to have a nice low-wattage amp soon (depending on how long it takes LATS to make me one ;)). Then, maybe I'll put some SD Alnico Pro II's in, like Slash. Or maybe I'll just use the stock MIM pickups; I'd have to admit that there's some cachet in making the best of what you have, instead of pulling a New York Rangers (you'd have to be a hockey fan to understand that one).

  3. Nope.


... and that's all I have to say about that.
