In the 80’s hot active pups were in vogue. But with modern pedalboards & amps I’ve found most players, myself included prefer lower to medium. Lindy Frailens are my pups of choice.
Gretsch has insane clarity on the neck pickup when strumming at 20:11. Can you get that on your guitars with Gibson-style humbuckers by tweaking settings on your Vox amp?
Hey bud, yeah that's one of the things I love about the Gretsch! You can definitely get closer by changing the settings on the amp, or perhaps by using different pedals or effects, of course (especially an EQ pedal), however, that's not the point of this video. The point of the video is to understand what's coming out of the guitar and how that will effect what will be going into your amp. This is one reason I bring a number of guitars when I play gigs. Different guitars for different sounds.
@@MillerCustomGuitars Oh, I understand. It makes sense to use identical settings for the sake of comparison. I'm only asking because I'm wondering if I should get one of these since I haven't been able to get very close to that tone with my guitar. I don't currently own an EQ pedal so it's difficult for me to test how well that would work.
@@boshi9 I guess that it all depends on what you’re looking for. If you want that sparkly clarity type of sound… I mean, yeah, sure you can EQ for it… Kind of. But if you really want it and get a guitar with filtertron’s in it, or swap out the pick ups you have for filtertrons. Seriously man, after getting my Gretsch, I don’t know how I lived without it before that.
beautiful guitars! and definately a nice quality video 👌
Thanks bud. Always trying to improve my video quality!
