[skydog46]

The tone and playing are just wonderful!!!! Great job man!!

[Renhjarta]

sounds very good! What kind of pickups in your R8?

@Renhjarta

Hey -

everything on the guitar is stock. It's amazing, after 2 years, just one guitar, a cable, and an amp is all I need. I don't know how much I wasted on pedals, other guitars, etc. If you have an R8 you like, and a Germino amp, that's all you need. Period.

[skydog46]

Nice!!! Love the rhythm and lead together!!!!

[phattyblocks]

the amp, the guitar & player all sound good here. i always take the guards off les pauls. to me, they look & play better without them. great stuff.

[iloreyix]

Yea It is a dream guitar really - I like the look of the pickguard, I can't "get under" the strings as well, or something like that. I like the feel with it off. Have you tried that?

[guitarnlax36]

no i like the look of the pickguard and idk every les paul i have played has it on so im keeping it on, except for like the standards and slash models ect. i love them man they are so nice

[guitarnlax36]

i have that same guitar its a 2005 58 reissue i love them they are great guitars. I kept the pickguard on it though

Beautiful Tone! I've been checking out Germino and this is very cool. KT66's? Greenbacks? Please let me know...

[iloreyix]

Thanks - 6l6 TAD, KT66's weren't good when I bought the amp. I am using two english greenback reissues. You should go play one if you can, but you will need to turn it up to at least 5 with a les paul, or 8 with a strat. You could go with 20 watt greenbacks, much quieter.

[impala327]

Thanks man. Interesting that you can get that tone w/o KTs. Even tho' they are subs for 6L6s...Would you attribute the tone to the speakers or preamp tubes?

[iloreyix]

Honestly, I think the amp and guitar are the largest ingredients. I'm running TAD 12ax7 as pre, and I have played the amp through different cabs with the same "footprint" of tone if you will.

Les Paul reissue, and the Germino. I think tubes would color the tone a little, but the main ingredients are there.

[plechatam]

more than likely it's a combination

-the player

-the guitar

-the amp

-the speakers

-the room

-the mic

[michaelav08]

I like that. Sounds good.

[iloreyix]

Thanks - honestly, the amp and guitar just do it. I have spent my whole life messing with pedals and amps with my strat. Just a les paul and a germino - presto - tone.

Less is more.

[allthingscheese]

My favorite amps are Germinos!!! Nice Clip!

[iloreyix]

I wanted to put up an example of what this amp can do - in this genre. No effects, just a gibson les paul and the Germino.

Hope you all enjoy - I will try to get a strat clip up there shortly -
