Fixing/Modding my new Epiphone LP with BKP's!

[jonthomas83]

Quality, cheers everyone for your input and welcome. I think I'm going to stick with the Cold Sweat calibrated set, I'm also going to get my local luthier to change all the pots and electronics, including handwiring.

From there, I'm going to get a Maxon OD808 and further down the line, when I can afford it, I'll be getting the maxon GE601 with the Rocktron hush!

Eric Hellstyle if you could guide me in the right direction for settings on the OD and E.Q. that you used for your rec I'd be very grateful.

Aside from that guys, you've all been very helpful and I feel content that I will have a quality rig once I've got all the upgrades we've talked about! Cheers! :)

usually tone 6, output 7-10, gain 0-2 for overdrives
EQ cutting some bass around 100hz and boosting the midrange (400hz-1.6khz)

FAO Twinfan, slight hijack alert!

I noticied you linked to axesrus for the replacement wiring kit.

Ive just got an '83 (i think) Burny Super Grade RLG 50. It still has the original wiring and pickups.

Im gonna install my Rebel Yells but wanted to upgrade the wiring at the same time.

What type of pots would i get to do this? Theres 250k or 500k long and short shaft versions for both Gibson and Import Les Pauls on the site and im all confused!



Cheers
