Title: Stratocaster through Overtone Post by: mattstratocaster on June 27, 2009, 06:51:55 PM Hey Guys,
Im going to be building an OTS soon and was wonder what are the best mods for playing a Strat through it. I have seen a few posts with strat mods but i have no clue what they do. If anybody has any good mods that will really bring out a strat, please post them here, also please explain what they do so i can decide what i might want to try. Oh, im already planning to add 2, 50uf 350v capacitors to the main filter stage to improve clean headroom as a saw on another post but other than that, im unsure.

I tend to use the guitars volume & tone controls much more these days to shade my tones- I use the 'Eric Johnson' tone pot wiring on the Strat's lead pup to roll off a little high end; and much the same with the LP at times - essentially set the amp up for a good balance between clean and lead tones, then use the guitars controls to personal taste is my advice.
