    Jimmy Page no.1 '59 'burst

    Logic has always been that a high wind pickup is more mid heavy therefore an A5 would balance it with a mid scoop and an A2 would muddy it up

    Jimmy Page's song 'Prison Blues' from Outrider

    I usually don’t have a ton of specific info from sessions but a long time ago I was told this exact track was a Harry Kolby modded JTM45. I only know this cause I was looking into getting a harry kolby mod and it was mentioned.

    The holy grail Burst + Marshall tone: Kossoff isolated track

    A black flag circuit is a super bass with low filtering and it will have a fenderish Marshall growl. It is a different amp than a high filtered superlead circuit. Secondly maybe the second amp is a different amp altogether provided us with an altogether unique sound.

    The holy grail Burst + Marshall tone: Kossoff isolated track

    Do you have a super bass circuit? Pulsonic cones? How did you mic it? His amp is fat but not as distorted. There is that one pic of a double mic setup u67 and a d12

    1959 Burst VS 1959 Murphy Lab Les Paul

    Nice video demonstrating that vintage vs modern can (but not always do) sound nothing alike. The modern guitar is missing most if not all the qualities of a 50s LP. Played through a clean amp a vintage LP can still emote everything from sweetness to grit. The modern LP needs a lot of help. It’s...

    My Bassman hates my Fuzz Face!

    Also depends on how faithful your FF is to the original design. The original nkt275 ones had a gain of about 60 HFE for both transistors. These would be the equivalent to a low gain Sunface. They really only give that classic dirt therefore when combined with distortion from elsewhere, most...

    Also could be a fuzz pedal on the ground. Many fuzz circuits plus LP sound that way. Not my bag either

    Break angle on bursts

    Hey all Those of you fortunate to have bursts and don’t top wrap can you post a shot of your current setup break angle over the bridge to the tailpiece?

    Neck Angle Of 58, 59 and 60.

    And downward pressure on the bridge from a steeper neck angle can be offset by raising the tailpiece thus mimicking the downward pressure of a guitar with a shallower neck angle
