GET VERSATILE! DO MORE WITH YOUR STRAT

GIVE THE SINGLEBUCKER SOUND A GO

ot single-coil pickups but want to imitate fat ’bucker tone? First, add tons of overdrive to your sound via a decent mid-rich pedal – two pedals, preferably. Don’t be tempted to turn the treble down on your amp or pedals: around six to eight, no lower. Keep the guitar’s volume up full, but knock the bridge pickup tone control down to about half or lower. Sounds much more like a humbucker, right? Vintage-style Strats don’t have a tone pot wire to the bridge pickup,
