• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Same! That’s the way, or as they say in The Mandalorian “this is the way”.

people crap on the whole “voodoo” stuff and get super practical, but there is an element of real stuff and then a mental aspect. To me, it’s comparable to putting a great fuzz face copy in a generic enclosure, and putting something else that doesn’t sound as good, in a FF enclosure. The voodoo of the FF enclosure makes folks want THAT.

50’s works great for me, but I had to find new spots. But I think a lot of folks look at numbers on potentiometer knobs instead of using the numbers on your ears :)

It is more than mere numbers. The tone effects the volume and they interact. I prefer them not to.
