I Think I May Owe PRS SE Custom 22 Fans An Apology...

I've owned my PRS SE Custom 22 for a few months. I swapped different pups into it, but no matter what I did, I just couldn't get a tone that impressed me through my gear. No matter what pups were in the guitar, there's a syrup quality to the overdriven tone through all my pedals and amps. I wrote a thread detailing my dissatisfaction saying I'd be selling the guitar, but something happened.

 

I put the stock ceramic pups back in the SE C_22 and I plugged it through my new Suhr Riot pedal. Magic grind! All my guitars sound good through the Suhr Riot pedal, but the SE C_22 seems especially suited for this pedal. I may be keeping this SE after all.

 

I have a lot of nice gear, but I guess I was missing the right piece of gear for this guitar to really impress me until I got the Suhr Riot pedal. I'll bet those of you who like this guitar have gear that's voiced differently than most of my stuff.

I'm guessing you don't play Marshall?

 

I do own a Blackstar HT5H that's voiced like a Marshall. I like the amp, but don't use it much because it's not quite loud enough to keep up with a drummer without a PA. The SE C_22 does sound decent through the HT5H, but it really stands out through the Riot via my VAC Hayseed 15! :thu:
