Guys,
I'm looking for suggestions.
I have recently delved into the rather comprehensive world of the modern Stratocaster and have purchased a 2015 American standard, equipped with 50s Fat Pickups.
I am having very little luck finding a suitable amp that will give me an edge of break-up to moderate overdrive tone without it sounding well..... Shite!
Before you all jump on me and tell me its not the Axe fx…… I realise that its the pickups that are at fault here, and NOT the Axe fx.
Does anybody have a guitar similar to this, and managed to coax any of these tones from it or am I reduced to forever playing clean Shadows-esque tunes from it?
Which do sound bloody brilliant if i'm honest !!! Its what the guitar was built for.
But before I change the pickups.....Is there a way to set one of the 250+ amps in the AF3 so that the bridge pick doesn't sound so shrill and thin as to be almost unusable? ~If not, then absolutely fine, I will know for sure that I need to swap out the pick up. I just wanted to eliminate that aspect first before doing so.
Thanks Guys.
