ScottR Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I like that....quite a bit really. The scoop on the back bugs me a little, doesn't quite flow with the horns just right.....but I like it. What does the custom tone pot get you?

Prostheta Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Looks like some kind of mids modification since there is a small transformer in there. Inductors are often used to muck with the mids. Love the airbrushed burst. Every time I see one I am reminded how much I would love to do one myself and then remind myself that I need to get out and buy some dyes :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menapia Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Cheers guys ! Ya spot on Prostheta 0-5 is just yer regular tone then 5-10 is a mid boost ,sounds pretty cool with the P90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
