Title: Super distortion - super D or super 2 for the neck
Post by: Vinnie1971 on August 26, 2017, 03:54:59 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 ?

Hey man...I just put a Super D in my LP Standard....it's amazing! I'm running it through a Splawn Quickrod and I couldn't be happier with it. I paired it with the PAF 36th Anny and they work great together. The 36th gets quite a bit of low end so depending on the acoustic properties of your particular guitar that pickup or maybe the PAF Pro/Joe would be great.
I suppose that all depends on what type of tone you're going for...??

Its a great combo in a Les Paul. I don't find the Super D too dark, and the Super 2 is definitely the perfect neck to match it.
