Guitar - Les Paul with Jimmy Page Wiring into Peavey Classic 30 (c30) amp using THD Hotplate

Some noodling on my Les Paul with Jimmy Page Wiring into Peavey Classic 30 (c30) amp using THD Hotplate and passive Treble Bleed circuit that does not use a capacitor. The amp volume was wide open, but volume to the speaker was only at room level thanks to the THD Hotplate. I just love this amp. with the amp volume cranked it has a really nice spongey feel to it as you dig in to the strings...the amp pushes back. Most of the distortion you hear is coming from the output tubes. I just use a small amount of drive on the 2nd channel of the amp, crank the volume and adjust the output via the THD Hotplate and it really gets the valves cooking. My treble bleed mod is one that does not require any modification to the electronics inside the guitar at all. Keeps all the treble when rolling back the guitars volume pots. So if you are interested to know how this is done just send me an email at the address shown at the end of the video and I will let you know.

By the way, for those who are interested, I have an album out that contains this style of playing including some "live" stuff too. You can take a listen at http://www.mushroom-farm.com

Nice stuff, I really enjoyed the listen.

I have an upgraded Epi Les Paul with all new wiring, CTS pots, a quality switch, and some Zhangbuckers, and I really like it.

Your rig sounds fantastic sir. :)

@AtomicRoost Go to Seymour Duncan's web site. Then Support --> Wiring diagrams --> Humbucker Diagrams -->Jimmy Page style wiring! :)

Sounds very much like a Gibson.

CLOSE to the mark, VERY close

[JonGUK]

@AtomicRoost Yes, firstly I bought the "kit" from torresengineering in US and then I had it all installed by Dan Mcpherson (Southend, UK) and he did and excellent job. I could have done the installation myself, but there is some very very trickly soldering involved even in just the installation so I didn't want to take a chance.

Thanks for your comments on my playing by the way, much appreciated.

@AtomicRoost google Jimmy page wiring, the second on down has it (I can't post links apparently). Although I suggest you switch the to lugs that aren't ground on each volume pot (in that specific guy's diagram). Otherwise it doesn't go fully off. Delete the spaces.
