Rev_Arthur_Belling, if you are around…

Sorry, I was preparing some dinner over the last hour and didn’t get to answer some of your comments/questions in the previous thread.

Regarding some of MakeItStop’s comments about noisy single coils. He is right, they can be noise generators. If you missed it, I mentioned I had the local guitar guru put in a Seymour Duncan double stack. It looks just like a single coil in a tele or strat, but it is two coils deep so one cancels out the hum of the other…just like a Humbucker. My main Tradition ‘58-like Tele is as quiet as a guitar with humbuckers. It gives it a deep growling sound and very different from a normal Tele. Check into double-stacks.

About the Vox amps. My Vavletronic is a 100 watt class A-B type amp. I don’t know if you have studied the differences, but the Vox AC30 is a class A amp. A 30 watt class A is about as strong and loud as a 100 watt AB. That is a simplified answer, but something else for you to check into.

OA, thanks for the answer. My Tele has a horrible hum, which is usually drowned out by all the other instruments lol. I’ll look into the Vox’s more. I’ve heard positive and negative about the Line 6’s. I like some of the tones, but want to consider all options. Love the warmth of the tubes. Especially liked them on my bass. Soooo warm!
