This Les Paul Classic was only available from American Musical Supply (AMS) for a short time. Sam Ash Music had a similar one in black. It has gold hardware along with the honeyburst finish and is a fun guitar to play. The pickups are suitable for any style and clean up very nicely if you set your guitar volume around 2 or 3 and use a clean or slightly crunchy channel.  Good luck with the new ax!

are those the 496r and 500t pickups ur usin there

[KissFanSite]

Yes they are. I used a Maxon OD-808 overdrive pedal to push the 50W non-master Marshall a little harder. The THD Hot Plate adds to the thick tone by letting you crank the amplifier and get into output tube distortion without excessive volume. I know the tone is not accurate for this song but I loved the impact and the harmonics I was getting so I went with it for the video. I really like the 496r/500t pickups. They are like Gibson's version of the Dimarzio Super Distortion. Rock on.

Does the Attenuator mess with your tone much? I have a 50 watt mesa stiletto ace, and it is a tad loud.

I was pretty interseted in the hotplate atenuators so fill me in.

Thanks

The THD Hot Plate is awesome. It does exactly what it says it will do: it lets you crank your tube head without effecting your tone dramatically.

At very high attenuation levels (-12 db or more) you don't experience the pounding and thump of the cabinet that you would feel if it amp was actually pushing the speakers hard, but the Hot Plate has some tone shaping capabilities that lets you replace some of the high and low end that is lost by not pushing a lot of air with the speakers.

i love the sound of gibson

[buttsechs91]

nice, but it seems like a little bit of a midrange overload....

[ace69er]

@SixxstringV Correct. Octaves of G Gb E!!

[zyphernova750]

Close, but wrong.

[Dogfish360]

yeah your mids are way too prominent, ease back a little buddy... ac/dc= everything on 5, joe perry= everything round 7, mids on 10 sound like shit for classic rock... or anything for that matter.

[piewacket]

grate job!!!!!!!!!! sweet axe!!!!

[Paladin19652007]
