What do 'Stormy Mondays' sound like through overdrive ?
« on: July 17, 2006, 02:03:10 AM »
Hi fellow addicts,

I have just moved my calibrated set of SMs to my S.G. (on Tim's recommendation) - after using them (to good effect) in a Les Paul.

As I mostly play clean and have not currently got access to a rehersal room/blasting pad, please tell me what the SM's will sound like using distortion/overdrive.

If you have them in a thin bodied guitar like an S.G. - all the better, but all input appreciated.

Bear in mind that overdrive will be a 'novelty' use for an old fashioned clean player like me.

P.S. The Les Paul will now be getting Alnico IV 'Mules'.

Thanks in anticipation.

Derek.

Thanks Steve !

I'll check the player's room now and keep an eye open for your own demo in future.

Regards,

I'm getting a Stormy Monday as well to put into the neck position of my LP clone. When it's in, I'll definitely post some clips & a review!
