I'm comparing a Gibson 335 to an Epiphone DOT. I'm not sure how old the Gibson is... it's at least 20 years old. The Epiphone is only a couple years old, and it has the stock pickups in it. I'm playing through a Roland Cube 30.
My natural finish Epiphone Dot (stock pickups) through my Marshall DSL 100 on the classic channel with just a touch of drive. I'm using my 2x12 cab with Celestion Vintage 30s
Me jammin' on my Marshall DSL 100. I'm using an old Roland GP-8 for effects. The speaker cabinet is a Lopoline 2x12 with Celestion Vintage 30s. I'm playing my Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty with Gibson 57 Classic pickups.
Me noodling through my Peavey Valve King 212 with Eminence Man-O-War speakers. I was unhappy with the harsh, brash sound of the amp until I put a Boss GE-7 EQ in the effects loop and cut 1.6K almost completely. It really smoothed out the tone quite a bit and is a lot closer to the Marshall sound I like. I am playing my Epiphone Les Paul Studio with Gibson Burstbucker PRO pickups.
Demonstration of my Epiphone '56 re-issue gold top Les Paul. I replaced the stock P90 pickups with Seymour Duncan STK-P1 P90s. The advantage being that the new pickups are hum-cancelling.
Me performing Heavy Metal by Sammy Hagar in my living room... Epiphone Les Paul. Marshall DSL 100 with 2x12 Celestion Vintage 30 cabinet. I know my solo is complete shite... but there was no way I was gonna be able to sing that again for another take... LOL!!
