Rob3TR Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hey I have a Gibson Les Paul studio which I play through a crate GT1200H head with a G41st speaker cab and I can get a fuckin comfy distortion out of it!But the cleans just not what I'm looking for...it's far too tinny.It's mainly for ska but also just your typical melodic clean pop punk part so any advice?

Wishbone G Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 single coils. Well. Thats what i would do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bailz Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 Can't beat a touch of chorus just to soften off the sound a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 single coils. Well. Thats what i would do.Agreed, although you can maybe ge a bit closer to the sound you are looking for with both pups on? Or maybe some compression.

The Byre Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Solid state amps like the GT1200H have a great deal of difficulty creating a clean sound with very small amounts of harmonic distortion that is created by tubes/valves. Try a Marshall JCM2000 combo or have a look on eBay for items like this:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Marshall-jcm-900-100w-full-stack_W0QQitemZ7340268361QQcategoryZ10171QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemand http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Marshall-JCM-2000-DSL-100-Watt-Valve-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ7341006032QQcategoryZ10171QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemIt is impossible to get a full-bodied sound out of a solid state amp!www.the-byre.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threeornothing Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 The DSL100 is my what I'm using...but its hopeless for clean sounds! P90 pickups with the volume rolled off does help though...try using the rythym pickup with the volume rolled off for your clean, then down to treble channel with volume cranked when you switch to distortion.Clean guitar sounds are for wimps anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamScrooge Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Sell your guitar and get a strat. You cant go wrong!Strat = instant brilliant clean tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuzzlebutt Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 very warm clean tone...Hey I have a Gibson Les Paul studio which I play through a crate GT1200H head with a G41st speaker cab and I can get a fuckin comfy distortion out of it!But the cleans just not what I'm looking for...it's far too tinny.It's mainly for ska but also just your typical melodic clean pop punk part so any advice?i've tried a few studios...very nice...i use a 2002 les paul, through a mesa F-50/ dsl-50/ fender hot rod deluxe through an A/B/C box...using the dsl for dirty, the mesa for either but certainly the fender for clean...take your studio to r&b (i think they are the only people to have a fender amp dealership in aberdeen) and try it- they usually have a deluxe in stock... i dont think you will find a better warmer clean tone, sure a strat or tele can give you a crisper tone but a les paul through a deluxe has to be one of the the warmest...then increase the gain to dirty it slightly and you have a killer blues tone to boot.

Scott! Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 He speaks the truth. the hot rod deluxe is the most singlehandedly kickass clean amp ever I have heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
