Members peehoo Posted September 15, 2009 Members Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm gassing for a SSS strat recently. The thing is that I really don't play stuff that is usually associated with strats. I can't find and clips of SSS high gain strat tone. Obviously I know it won't do the brootalz as well as some other guitars and I don't need it to. Just want to see how it sounds. But for some reason I can't find any clips of high gain strats. So any clips or comments/opinions are welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any clips or comments/opinions are welcome I have some videos of me playing through a recto with a strat doing rock with a decent amount of gain using a fralin sp43, but the videos aren't even worth watching because of the horrendous quality I'll show you clips of how it sounds when I start guitars on the EP I'm working on. The fralin sp43 handles it well. also www.myspace.com/dysrhythmiaband I believe uses an sss strat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr R Gecko Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 Strats do great with high gain. I love a Strat + Bogner XTC combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joeytpg Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 here you go. It's my John Mayer Strat through my Diezel Einstein. No boost, vintage pickups (no high output single coil {censored}) the real deal http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7080525 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pioneerprogress Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'm not sure if it qualifies for "high gain" (it's not 5150 or recto-ish) but there's tons of SSS strat in the clips in the myspace below, and there's plenty of gain in these songs v IMO it's not as nice sounding as P-90's for this sorta stuff, but I still like the strat better than my SG. I don't typically go for "smooth" types of distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Say Ocean Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 FWIW Strats sound {censored}ing AWESOME through Rectos IMO. single coils in general sound AWESOME through the recto.. so much character and life added to it. It's still the thick, thick recto sound but brighter and more clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chadd Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 FWIW Strats sound {censored}ing AWESOME through Rectos IMO. Both my MIM with Fender noiseless and MIJ with Duncan stacked buckers prove that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerEvil Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 I gotta say, I am borrowing my buddy's sss USA strat for a show, I used it at practice this weekend (tuned down a whole step, then dropped C) through my Soladano Avenger 100 and it was instant {censored}ing love! I never knew strats would sound that metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peehoo Posted September 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions! I like all the sounds posted. Like I said I'm not looking for stereotypical sound or whatever you wanna call it... Frankly I just never really played a strat with high gain. It's not that that would be the only thing I'd be doing with it, I'd just like to know if it's possible without getting everything into a noisy mush.

Members rrrajo Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 A lot of STP and AIC have/had Strats w/High Gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Exocaster Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'd just like to know if it's possible without getting everything into a noisy mush. More than possible. The clip I posted is on the very noisy side due to A) the cheap adapter powering the SD-1 and B) the noisy, ancient wiring in my house. My rigs are much quieter anywhere else. Strats are tight and clear under high gain, and more aggressive tone-wise than you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ron Burgandy Posted September 16, 2009 Members Share Posted September 16, 2009 I LOVE my US Strats with high gain So much so, that I've considered leaving the new one stock, instead of installing the bridge humbucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
