congrats on the c+!is it simul/rev/eq??...combo or head??the cleans and midgain settings on a c+ are incredible as well!!

Yup simul/rev/eq!

It's my favorite amp but im scared to take it out on the road!
Its a head which i run through a custom made porty city 4x12
Regardless, knowing what amp i have!
What pickups do you think work well for : Amazing lead, clarity, rolled off high end but with bite and tight bass
I have coldsweat's and love the lead tones on them so im thinking of going the c-bomb route as its a slighlty darker which will be good for the ebony.

BTW i changed the guitar i returned it for a gibson les paul studio white with ebony fretboard so the same woods and everything still apply.

sweet...hmmm...I have not played the Cold Sweat, but I do like the Bombs in my Custom-they are full, and they tamed the brightness-very agressive lead tone -I can hit pinch harmonics anywhere with the bombs-good modern tone

-Rebels,VHII, Mules,Milks,Bombs,and Boogie C+'s!!

The studio doesnt have a huge maple cap like the custom just the ebony fretboard so i think going ceramic wont be to bright i hope. Then again i have a ceramic in my other paul... hmm

whats cool about the Bomb , in my case, is that it darkened the tone somewhat, allowing  me to pull treble and use for additional gain without getting too trebly!!

Nice that sounds like the way to go!
