[QUOTE="drunton, post: 926, member: 93"] OK, I love the blackface - very nice, perfect sound, but I am having trouble finding the perfect distortion sound. My rig: Fender Am Deluxe Strat (vintage Noiseless) -> Boss GT-8 -> RM4 -> Mesa 20/20 -> Carvin Legacy 2x12 (closed back config). The blackface is sweet for the cleans - no surprise there. I have an SL+ and a Recto. The recto sounds fine but not really suitable for my cover stuff. I am looking for a Def Leppard (High N Dry, Pyromania), Rush 2112 type of sound. Of, course, the guitar is still single coil, but those vintage noiseless are pretty hot. My SL+ was modified by it's previous owner (cap mod) and basically it seems that no matter what I do, I get the midrange honk of a Rockman. Don't get me wrong, I still have my original Distortion Generator and it has its place, but not for what I am doing here. Is it just the guitar, or maybe too many lows removed from the Cap Mod? Can you suggest the modules that might be what I am looking for? Thanks for any pointers. Dave [/QUOTE]
