Topic: HERE I AM! I FOUND THE RIGHT SETTING WITH MY HK DUAL EL 84!

ThANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRECIOUS ADVICES ET OVERALL THE SPECIFIC LOWERING OF TREBBLES WHICH ENABLED ME TO FIND A REAL BLUESY TONE

IN FACT NO NEED TO ]HAVE HIGH GAIN WITH A STRONG TONED GOLDTOP,YOU MUST BE HUMBLE AND LET THE GUITAR EXPRESS ITS SOUL AND PURITY

LIKEWISE THE TONE POT BRINGS ALL HIS SUBTILITY (EXCUSE MY ENGLISH I'M FRENCH!) AND I KEPT IT BETWEEN 4 AND 6
ON CLEAR AND DIRTY CHANNELS ,ALWAYS THE SAME

ON DIRTY I KEPT THE GAIN ROUGHLY BETWEEN 9 AND 10 O'CLOCK? AND WHEN USING THE TS9  TONE AT THE LOWEST AND DRIVE ON 9
I REALIZED THAT ON MY GUITAR THE NECK BURSTBUCKER IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER ONE WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE CONTRARY ON JOE'S GOLDTOP (burtbuckers are not the same) MINE ARE ONE AND TWO
AND OVERALL,A FRIEND OF MINE GAVE ME THE ULTIMATE TOUCH:
"GET RID OF YOUR DISTURBING ME 50 WHICH CORRUPT YOUR GOLDTOP NATURAL TONE
I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY SO MANY FELLOWS ONLY USE PEDALS AND NO RACKS(RACKS ARE RATS!)

I HOPE THE PRESENT ADVICES COULD HELP OTHERS AS I BENEFITED FROM YOU

GIVE ME YOUR FEELINGS,I 'LL BE SATISFIED

"Thanks for all your precious advices et overall the specific lowering of trebbles which enabled me to find a real bluesy tone

In fact no need to have high gain with a strong toned goldtop,you must be humble and let the guitar express its soul and purity

Likewise the tone pot brings all his subtility (excuse my english i'm french!) and i kept it between 4 and 6
on clear and dirty channels ,always the same

On dirty i kept the gain roughly between 9 and 10 o'clock? And when using the ts9  tone at the lowest and drive on 9
i realized that on my guitar the neck burstbucker is better than the other one what seems to be the contrary on joe's goldtop (burtbuckers are not the same) mine are one and two
And overall,a friend of mine gave me the ultimate touch:
"get rid of your disturbing me 50 which corrupt your goldtop natural tone
I now understand why so many fellows only use pedals and no racks(racks are rats!)

I hope the present advices could help others as i benefited from you

Give me your feelings,i 'll be satisfied
