I picked up a ME-50 (img.audiofanzine.com) a few years ago, and every once in a while I pull it out and mess with it.
I need to get it out again because that Les Paul clone is a whole new world of tones.
That's a good pedal. 'Snot bad at all.
And, yeah, a Les Paul (even a decent clone) is a wonderful-sounding instrument.
Now, you need to get another one and use it as a mod platform! Use it to try different hardware, swap out pickups, etc... (That's what a lot of people do with 'em. I did no such thing with mine.)
I've got a few pedals I put together. The lead guitar on this is run through a Brian May treble booster I built.
You can hear how warm the pickups are after I set it up. Still...what are some good pickups I might check out?
You can't go wrong with anything from Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio. I'm not much of a modder, but I do keep a bit of an eye on the scene.
