Vintage guitar enthusiasts and collectors are always on the hunt for hidden gems, and I recently found one myself. While browsing for a new addition to my collection, I came across a 1964 Gibson ES-335 stop tail that has a nice surprise feature. Instead of the typical 2x pat number pickups, this model has a PAF pickup in the neck position and a pat number in the bridge. Kind of rare for a 1964 model. Next step was checking if this was factory made...  This discovery was even more exciting because the pots were dated to week 40 of 1964, and the wiring was completely original and un ..read more

He found that the vintage TS9 Tube Screamer compressed the transient response of the original signal, had a midrange character he didn't like, and subtracted a noticeable amount of bass response from the signal. So, he set out to create a new type of overdrive that would bring the richness and dynamics of a cranked amp at lower volumes. After ..read more
