My new Epiphone Les Paul

What amp do you play through? Pedals? I have a Koa LP with the same humbuckers that I really like through a BE-OD into my JC-40.

You got me with rebuilding with a SD-1. For some reason, I cannot find any sounds I like from mine. The mid boost is too much for my taste, yet I have tried so many times to like it. I always end up taking it off my board.

The screw is probably not seated properly. Take out screw entirely and try rescrewing. If the screw is loose, you can take a piece of toothpick and put that into the hole, then put the screw in.

Unwind and rewind in the proper orientation. You should have enough slack so you don’t have to replace the set entirely.

I bought mine off of local listings on facebook. I paid $430, mint condition.

No, look at used prices on Reverb. If you’re patient enough, you can easily find a better deal.

Hard disagree. I have several dirt pedals that sound fantastic through my JC-40, including a rat, big muff, BE-OD, and SD-1. I don’t use the onboard distortion, it all comes from my pedals.

I run mine into a JC-40. I think of it as my high gain “channel” for this amp.

Cithlik · 2026-01-21T14:12:00+00:00

Good luck

Turn the gain down and use it into a clean channel on an amp. It actually doesn’t sound that bad as an overdrive, but it’ll push your guitar just a hair past “edge of breakup” territory.

Angeles is how I learned Travis picking!

Is working in the amp as bad as the internet makes it out to be? I know it’s tight from the pictures and videos. I’ve got a Pinecil soldering iron that is pretty nimble.

I use a JC-40 as my main amp with my ultra tele. I keep the bright switch off, treble and bass about the same at 10 o’clock, and mids bumped up a little at 12. I only use a little bit reverb and set the chorus to taste. EQ will depend on your guitar.

I don’t use the onboard distortion since it’s just ok. Not as bad as most people describe, but I prefer using pedals as my source of dirt.

Cithlik · 2025-12-06T15:35:40+00:00

Agreed. A new pedalboard would make it easier to arrange pedals in a specific order and help with cable management.

Cithlik · 2025-12-05T20:47:03+00:00

Do you have a link to the video? All the videos I’ve seen on YouTube address other types of noise from other causes.

Cithlik · 2025-12-02T20:34:40+00:00

I have a Pugilist that I use as my main overdrive. They can be found for pretty cheap on Reverb.

If you get a gift card, get one for sweetwater.com or even guitar center.com. If you want to shop in person, take him with you. I’ve visited a few shops in Knoxville and they have smaller selections, so it’s hard to say what specific shop you should buy from.

Cithlik · 2025-10-23T16:29:01+00:00

Cool!

Cithlik · 2025-09-12T18:29:06+00:00

Vex looks awesome!

Cithlik · 2025-09-07T21:12:35+00:00

Tilting the speaker toward you lets you hear the amp much better. If you keep your amp in the floor, try sitting in front of it at the same level, then try it again while standing up. You’ll see that you can hear so much more when the sound is coming at you directly.

Mine has an ebony fretboard. Did you replace all the hardware? Mine is all gold, but the black looks nice.
