Based on feedback from members, we have decided to not go ahead with those changes. However, it has also highlighted that we need some community input into what is working and what is not working for members here. Primarily focused on the Emporiums, we'd like input on your thoughts about TGP and how things work in the Emporiums for you and how you'd improve them. The discussion thread on the is here!

    Nice tone, Anders, a little too compressed for my taste but as you've got something really cranked I suppose it had to be! Either that or you chose to have a lot of pre-amp gain and kept the Master down low? Dunno, but I'm listening to it on my little PowerBook speakers which doesn't help!!

    What's the stuff?

    All the best, Pete.

    On this clip i use the Bridge pickup only, I'ts a Seymor Duncan Jerry Donhue Tele Bridge PU.
    The neck (not used on this clip) is a AMAZING Beezelbucker, it's got a p90'ish and a stratish coil AND the two coils can be on their ownm in series or paralell. A clip with that PU may be posted soon ;) .

    "meaner" is good. Great tone and playing. Keep up the good work. Tell me more about the amp. Do they have a website?
