Re: lower output p90
Modern Gibson P90's, to my ears, are pretty damn good. People have moaned about the brass plates etc...but don't realise the old ones were also brass, just plated.
Love P90's.
Love P90's.

Re: lower output p90
I read the post as 2 on the Amp volume, not 2 on the guitar volume.murky wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 11:38 am One thing I am pretty convinced on is pot taper. I recon the old CentraLab C2/10% taper is pretty important. At half way a 500k C2 will measure about 50k. They give you a lot of clean below 6ish. Lot of modern pots are 30%+/- taper - a lot of the "vintage correct" pots are 15-30% too - the typical complaint is it gets dirty too quick (i.e. like Rob said above).
Musings aside, does it do the volume and tone at half "acousticky" sound?
If it seems really high output compared to the Gibson P90's in the SG then I would probably change it. Should be easy enough to compare them.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

The alternative isn't that great though!

Re: lower output p90
That's what I do for years. Could never quite understand the treble bleed mod that everyone was going on about back in the previous decade.sizzlingbadger wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 9:27 am Turn the volume down on the guitar and treble up on the amp. That is how P90's should be.
I generally set all vol and tone to 5, then adjust the amp to suit. That way when I turn it up, it has MORE treble as well as drive!

THIS. Similar to the instructions provided with some of the original Fender amps I'm told?Capt. Black wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 1:55 pmThat's what I do for years.
