DE // Hallo Doktor, erstmal ein Kompliment für deine Arbeit und das viele Wissen, das du uns normalen "Zivilisten" vermittelst. Durch dich, habe ich mein Gitarrenspiel deutlich verbessern können, nun arbeite ich an meinem Sound. Hierzu habe ich eine kontroverse Frage - Es geht um Humbucker, exakt um die "Pole Pieces", dessen Höhe und Auswirkungen auf den Sound einer Les Paul. Was sind hier deine Empfehlungen, macht es einen Unterschied, wenn die "Pole Pieces" flach über dem Cover herausschauen, wenn der Humbucker tiefer ist aber die "Pole Pieces" ein stück erhöht sind und so weiter - Hierzu sehe ich mir viele Videos an, lese viel in Foren und Frage in meinen Musikerkreisen herum. Eine glasklares ja oder nein, konnte ich nicht finden! Einen Unterschied konnte ich durch das Ausprobieren feststellen, habe aber keine Referenz und damit keine ausgeprägte Gehörbildung, um DIE BESTE EINSTELLUNG zu definieren. Wie ist deine Meinung zu diesem Thema und hast du eine "Werkseinstellung" deiner Humbucken und/oder eine persönliche preferenz. Vielen Dank und Gruß aus Hessen, Wiesbaden RU // Здравствуйте, доктор, прежде всего хочу поблагодарить Вас за Вашу работу и те знания, которые Вы передаете нам, обычным "гражданским" людям. Благодаря Вам я смог значительно улучшить свою игру на гитаре, а сейчас работаю над звуком. У меня есть спорный вопрос - он касается хамбакеров, именно "полевиков", их высоты и влияния на звук Les Paul. Каковы ваши рекомендации, есть ли разница, если полюса торчат ровно над крышкой, если хамбакер ниже, но полюса немного приподняты и так далее - я посмотрел много видео, много читал на форумах и расспрашивал в своих кругах музыкантов. Я не смог найти однозначного ответа "да" или "нет"! Методом проб и ошибок я смог определить разницу, но у меня нет эталона, а значит, нет и отчетливого слуха, чтобы определить ЛУЧШУЮ НАСТРОЙКУ. Каково Ваше мнение по этому вопросу, и есть ли у Вас "заводская настройка" Ваших хамбакеров и/или личные предпочтения. Большое спасибо и привет из Гессена, Висбаден

Hello. Thank you. There is no unequivocal answer to this question, since there is no unequivocal answer to setting up the amplifier. There are only patterns, and everyone determines the level of influence and settings for himself based on preferences and tasks. Some people like a brighter attack and wider dynamics, others like a more compressed signal. I usually start adjusting the pickups with their overall height to balance them in volume. Further, if I need to increase the attack and brightness, I raise the coil screws, balancing each pair of strings. This is good for the neck position. Next, I move on to adjusting the bridge coil screws. Here I like more compression because the screws are tighter. This adjustment largely depends on the characteristics of the pickups and the degree of resonance of the wood. In each case, the adjustment is different. There is no clear rule for this.

Strat sounded the best gold top was the best Les Paul and the red one that has a big mid-range I don't know what I'm listening to, what pickups or what. I just identify each guitar. as far as Les Paul's go to the gold top had clearest top end. the red one had a lot of mid-range was thick in the mids. I don't know what the difference is between those two guitars, but when he plug the strat in it seemed to have the most presence

Nice! But did all the guitars have 50's wiring or was some 60's (modern wiring) because some old burst Gibson's are also with 60's wiring aka modern? 50's wiring sounds brighter also when volume and tone are at 10.

The BluGuitar Amp1 is a 'real amp'. After over 40 years of professional dedicated Marshall valve amp use, I've finally discovered something that gives me all the tone without all the backache. To quote one review regarding the technology... "The solid-state analogue front end runs into a power stage, the front of which is designed around a miniature military-style, Russian dual-triode valve and dummy load, to create the ’tube’ character. This very long-life valve ‘Nanotube’ is soldered to the circuit board, so there are no sockets to cause problems. After this comes a Class-D output stage that does the heavy lifting. The circuit design is a little bit special - it’s designed to replicate the current feedback and power-supply-sag characteristics of a traditional valve output stage, so that it reacts correctly to the loudspeaker load and power level."

Actually, that's what I thought at first too. Only on returning home did I find out in more detail what kind of box it was. And I was very surprised at what it can do. I'm a vintage guy and a tube amp has always been the rule for me. But what the AMP1 does is everything a big vintage tube head does. And it's not a digital device. I think soon I will make a review on this amplifier. What Thomas designed is as cool as his guitar playing.
