• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

    DUMBLE or D Style amps

    Suede is real…not artificial With the cascading channels of a D style amp you need to have the clean channel turned up to get more saturation when switching over to the overdrive channel. Mid boost on, keep the preamp boost off for now. YMMV depending where the tone stack is set when...

    RS Pot Upgrade, Knobs don't fit???

    Can someone please shed some light on this? I upgraded all the pots on my R9 with RS superpots and CTS pots and two of them don't fit the knobs, they are too small to hold the knobs on the guitar. Anyone??? Two of them fit fine, two don't, so i'm confused.

    Which Finish is my 2000 R9? Help please!

    I'm trying to figure out what finish this is. It's a 2000 R9. I think it's too transparent for Cherry, but seems to bright for iced tea. Any help? What do you think? There is a lot of amber and yellow going into the red, and really only a tad of dark reddish. Is it naturally faded?

    My New Y2K R9...flame is killer. is this a darkback?

    Hey just picked this up for a steal! I'm wondering what I could flip it for, and if I would even want to?? I'd just buy another R9 with the money. This one has kinda crappy caps in it, just small ceramic ones. The 57s seem to have more output in the neck than the bridge. Thoughts??? Really...
