Super distortion - super D or super 2 for the neck
« on: August 26, 2017, 05:14:46 PM »
I have an Epiphone Les Paul standard - I think the pickups are ok but a little generic sounding. I can get a good tone out of them but maybe a 70s classic rock tone.
Was thinking super distortions but maybe super 2 in the neck - maybe a super D would be a bit dark. I know that's a classic 79s combo - anyone tried both in an LP and can advise if the super 2 would be too bright in the neck or if this is the killer combo ?

Yes, the Super 2 sounds absolutely KILLER in the neck of an LP.

Super 2 is great in the neck. Put the Super Distortion in the bridge.

Thanks for the inputs. In the end I went for the classic Super distortion bridge, PAF pro neck
Is it with the trouble of wiring for inner / outer coil splits ( which gives the option of selecting both and the coils are in parallel) - are the coil split and parallel tones good to make it worth the extra effort?

Ok, I bit the bullet and prepared push pulls as follows. Hope they sound good split and coils in parallel!
