huge but simple break through on finding that "middy" / "glassy" thing i've been hunting for 2 years.

ok i can't believe it was that simple !!  the secret to most "brown" sound and good classic rock tone were PAF style pickups.

i had a seymour duncan '59 in the neck and JB in the bridge.  i switched them and BAM !!  '59 in the bridge made all the difference !!

if any of you are hunting this mysterious and highly subjective tone.  drop a seymour duncan '59 or a dimarzio "evolution" (both PAF low output pickups).

the other thing i did was put KT77 power tubes in as i personally felt EL4's did not have enough low end.

nik has been super kind and patient to help figure this out.  he never gave up on me   bless his soul !!

maybe someone can help my tone chasing behind.

bought a chupa last year and have been diggin it, but feel i am still missing that true "dokken" middy/dumbly thing. 

listen at 1:17 of this youtube video.  hear what i am talking about ?

just missing that Tube Bite i hear on this clip live:


nik suggested the 504 OL. don't see any sound clips for this amp ??  any links you know of ??

the biggest thing i want is a major diffence from the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe i just bought.

what's the wattage choices on this amp ?

looking for sound clips on the 504 and OL

any links ?

Hey guys,

I just bought a 2011 fender hot rod deluxe 2x12 combo.
Still don't feel i am getting that gilmour Hiwatt "on an island" lead tone.

Some clips of the overtone specials (not HRM) models seem to come close.

I still have 3O days to return the amp. Might keep it for those country and blues songs and save up for a overtone special.

I also like to play van halen but that's a different story

What's the best overtone or ceriatone for me ?
