Hello everybody,

A new guy from france on this forum. Then, some few words to introduce myself. I play the guitar for about 15 years, my setup is :

_ Gibson melodymaker 1963 with Classic 57+ pickup
_ Gibson les paul 1956 VOS  8)
_ Gibson les paul Std 1995 with SD APH1 pickup
_ Fender blues junior with ECC83 preamp tube + Celestion greenback
_ Marshall GUV'NOR original  :shock:  + Bluesbreaker 1 pedals

My goal is to switch from APH1 to B. Knuckle pick up on my LP Std

Bonjour camarade,

good to see a real Gibson fan in the forum! I have an original Guv'nor too, they are very mean pedals :O)

So for your Standard - where do you wanna go with it? Can you give us some indication, guitarist names, bands, styles, songs, whatever you're after?

Do you look for more openness, or more fatness, more gain or more clarity, or less fizz or less boom?

Tell us more and we might be able to help you!

My aim in sound is the most difficult to reach : Gibbons. According to the different advise I had, I bought today a set of mule, lets try it tomorrow

What a coincidence! I just posted a Gibbons Clip - made with VHIIs

I hope you made the wrong choice, I was hesitating between mule and VHII
