Hi guys,
Before anyone asks, I did try to search around before I posted this as I didn't want to duplicate other posts if the information was already in here
I gig with a pair of Fender American Strats. One has Lindy Fralin pickups in it, and the other has Kinman noiseless single coil pickups in it.
The former is a more traditional sounding single coil strat sound, while the latter is more bright and jingley sounding (is that actually a word?).
I have need of a few different sounds as I go through covers in my band. I have some really good sounding cleans that work for me, and one Recto patch that covers the really high gain stuff nicely.
Where I seem to have problems is in the catagories of:
- Slightly pushed light breakup
- Mid pushed with more breakup
- Classic rock Marshallesque AC DC tone
I have found that the stock patches don't give me what I want/need in these areas and would like some suggestions for some commercial rigs I might give a try for these purposes.
I have noticed that the classic rock tone specifically seems to be the domain of humbuckers. I suppose I could just break down and buy a new guitar, but I thought I would try this first.
Any suggestions?
