Well guys I'm a happy chappy, gigged the LP Custom and Engl rig last night for the first time and it smoked.
I hadn't even had a band jam with this amp so they looked shocked when I wheeled it in last night .
We were playing a warm up gig before we play our other ten gigs we have booked, so it was quite informal and we didn't push it too much.
The amp sounded great in the soundcheck but I was told I was a bit low in the mix so I set my Hi and Lo Lead channels a bit higher as well as the master volume, added a bit more treble and it was perfect.
My clean sound was nice and sparkly, didn't use the crunch channel, Lo lead was set nice and fat and punchy with a bottom end boost and the Hi Lead channel was set for solos, plenty of bite and sustain and a bit of delay.
I was so happy with my sound, every tone I desire was there last night and that combined with the LP really made me play better. The BKP Cold Sweats sounded great, very quiet too which was a huge bonus but I am so impressed with these pickups ... FANTASTIC !!!!!
Gig went OK, a few clangers dropped but we soldierd on and the crowd seemed to enjoy it. Got a big gig next weekend so fingers crossed we'll be on form !

That's a rock n' roll pic! :P

Got any pics of your mates while you're wheelin' in that Engl stack? The looks on their faces must have been priceless.

Nice one Custom. There is nothing better than playing with a tone that you love is there?

imagine being told your amp's too quiet and having to turn it up! that must really suck.

There's not that many gigs in town these days, will probably try to get on at The Star in the new year. Playing The Three Tuns in Gateshead on the 6th January which is a good gig.

Great kit definitely gives you an edge. The pic looks totally rock & roll!

All of those songs get the TO \m/ sign of approval! Especially the Schenker!!!

I don't see another guitarist, tho. Do you do all the guitar duties yourself??
