Geoff, your guitar is different. A Les Paul standard with four knobs: 2 volumes and 2 tones, one for each pick up (volumes in front, tones in rear; neck pickup top, bridge pickup bottom). Put the switch in the middle position and move the knobs, you will hear the difference.

And yes, you can apply the same theory.

A Tokai Love rock is a nice guitar! Yes, 2 volume, 2 tone.

I could not bring myself to do it and no one else could, but I was hoping for this answer:

The same answer would apply to this question.

Does anyone know how to make a Strat neck sound like a big "KA_CHINK!!!!!!"? :twisted:

Only good for one time, though. :(

One time only, you can adjust your Strat for a KA_CHINK as well as a KER_CHUNK with skill, so both sounds together?

You might want to practice on something a little more solid at first, and with easy-to-set knobs. You can't beat this (anymore). Also works on the Tokai Love Rock, and similar guitars with zero to four knobs, one for each function. :shock:

Eventually with patience you will be ready to go back to the original challenge how to set those more difficult Strat knobs.

All,

Thank you for the info. Now I know which does what, I can spend the rest of the night working out how to use them. I guess that will take a while.

Cheers

Geoff
