PTB System on Legacy
Posted: Sat Oct 01, 2016 9:16 am
Hi there.
I'm on a relaxed hunt for a legacy. I played a blueburst tribute legacy and I found the PTB system a bit un-natural.
With a regular strat I find I set the tone control how I want it using the neck pickup and then access the other classic sounds using the pickup selector. I pretty much never have to touch the tone control once I've 'set' it.
Not so with the legacy I played. I found I was having to adjust the tone controls (and they have a huge range) when I used the pickup selector.
For gigging, I want the easiest setup to use so I can focus on playing rather than twiddlling knobs. How have others found the PTB setup and ho do you set your legacy up to get all the classic tones just using the pickup selecter?
Is it just me or is the PTB system too much of a good thing on a legacy? If you haven't mastered it have you re-wired it back to a standard strat tone circuit, or EJ variant?
