Sometimes the littlest thing can throw off your sound. I was plugged in yesterday with my core custom 22. Somehow the entire time I was practicing, I felt like my tone just didn't sound right. It was just sort of harsh, and piercing on the top end. I felt like it was a bit scooped and I didn't have as much mids as I like to keep the warmth that I am accustomed to. I almost was like "is this what people keep saying about these Dragon 2 pickups"? Knowing good and well I've been playing through the same series of pups since around 2000 or 2001. Made a whole bunch of adjustments to my guitar tone knobs volume knobs even went over to the amp and adjusted a few things. After getting frustrated and about ready to give up for the day, I looked over and realized that the bright Button had somehow gotten depressed. I never play with the bright button on because it gives me a little too much cut when I have my presence turned up to about 5. I released that button, and voila! That sweet Paul Reed Smith through Fender tubes sound that I am accustomed to was back in action. Sometimes you got to start with the really simple THEN and work your way to more complex.
