Dynamics of Gibson SG MiracleMan Bridge / RebelYell Neck

Trying out with all FX in front of a dirty amp. It's the first time that I feel this works - gives a fat sound with the Echoes. The Cornford rocks my boat from head to toe, really nice amp. The BKP'ed SG fits it to a TEEE.

Nice tone man. Do you need the booster to squeeze the juice out of the MKII or has it enough gain to roar like this?

The Mk50 has more than enough gain, like this I run both gains at noon, so I can roll back for cleans and the EP1 adds juice and a little bit of something, don't know what it is, but it makes all sound better, with all my amps, weird thing, some upper mid bite and punch.

If I put both gains on the Mk50 at 1-2 o'clock it's Gary Moore 80s tone territorry.

I try to test a Cornford in Holland, but you don't see them a lot. At least not where I live. Ritchie Kotzen gets great tones out of his Cornford.
Funny what you mention about the booster. I have the same experience with my Toadworks Dual Boost, when I engage it it seems the guitar is straigth in the amp, although the signal goes through eight pedals. I think it is buffered and compensates the loss of signal throught the effects and cables. The booster provides more punch too.

Richie would sound great through a Gorilla, he is playing Marshall 20 Watters now it seems by the way  8)

Cornfords are close to impossible to try in shops, they are very thinly spread. I got lucky in that they had a MkII in Frankfurt Musik Schmidt last week so I could try a whole armada of boosters with it and went for the EP-1. I also have an RC-1 from Xotic and it's great, too.

There is a Mk50 on ebay at the moment at a good price: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Cornford-MK50-H-flightcased-footswitch-MK50H-/300466675604
