Hi all
I play a Gibson SG standard with stock pups through a Mark IV widebody combo (standard celetion speaker, 2 6L6, 2 Sovtek tubes (forgot Sovtek number)).
I want to get a real nice Mastodon-like dirty tone (Blood Mountain). Mostly I don't get enough gritty/dirty with my mark IV, it's like metal, but there's something missing. I know the sound on cd's is altered, recorded and what not. And I also know they play on Marshall JCM 800's with flying V's....
I was wondering if any of you guys could give some advice on how to get this sort of sound.
- Should I replace pups? Some said Seymour Duncan Custom Customs or pealy Gates or Dirty Fingers or Alnico II Pro
- Should I replace tubes? with some EL34's?
- What settings should I use...
- Should I buy pedal (fuzz-like)?
thank a lot for all the help!
