To sound perfect, yes it does need 2 delays. But you can come very very close (as I do) with one delay around 360ms.

Originally posted by anstratdubh1979Well understand that if one were to upgrade and use Seth Lover pickups in their Les Paul... HE invented humbuckers. HE made the first PAF's for Gibson. So if you were upgrading a Epiphone or a 1970-1990 or 2008 Les Paul to Seth Lover humbuckers... You'd be getting true 1958-1960 era humbuckers.

Lindy Fralin's, Burstbuckers... ALSO are recreations of the vintage stuff. So if you have a 1975... not necessarly considered a "Great" era of Les Paul and you were to upgrade with some that I have mentioned... you would truly being helping the guitar sound better.

Recreations are not real vintage stuff. And "sound better" is a matter of opinion. Just my opinions.

In the case of Seth Lover humbuckers, the ARE as good as the real stuff; he invented the feckers.



And in the case of many other 'replacement' pickups I mentioned (and others I could), they are better than some original. They are certainly far superior to stock Epiphone pickups.

Ugh.

Seems you've missed my initial point. But that's okay.

No one said that 'recreations' are the 'real stuff'. NO ONE.

What was said was that there are a great number of pickups that will make an stock Epiphone Les Paul, for instance, sound better, less shrill, less SHIT and more like the more desireble tones of say... 1958-1960 Les Paul.

What was also asked was that were in Edge's Les Paul's. I mentioned that after getting a good look at them... it appeared they were stock T-Tops. I also mentioned that I had heard that Dallas many of Edge's guitars have had the bridge pickup's rewound. I also pointed out that if Edge had done this to his 1975 it certainly didn't hurt it, as it sounded great. AND it wasn't like he defiled the guitar.

But... whatever.
