1963 Gibson SG Jr. P90 doing Metal
This is a sound clip posted by a member of a guitar forum. He described it as a working demo intended to show that P90’s sound cool for metal music. The band is called Istari and the working title of the clip is The Fear. Below is what he said about the clip.
“This was recorded with my somewhat-recently acquired 1963 Gibson SG Junior using it’s stock dog-ear P-90 pickup. I ran it through my PODxt and into Adobe Audition – very little processing was used – no compression, minimal EQ, and no more gain than I normally use with a humbucker-equipped guitar. I did gate some for noise, but not as much as I thought I’d have to.
I think it kind of goes to show that you don’t need Invaders, EMGs, or anything else with massive output to get a good, solid metal tone.”
