'Noel, when you say the Hi-Gains "grind" nicely, I assume you mean with distortion, right?'
Yes Mark, through a barely dirty amp, you can get a good biting, grinding natural distortion with the HiGains -I always kept mine set so I could back off my attack and be clean again. The lead/solo tone of the HiGains is nice too... very useful and with as much sting as you want. |

This is the info I was looking for!
Perhaps the 620MB will be the one.

"The neck pickup (and the middle one since I have a 370) has so many different achievable tones because of the fifth knob. It's a bit difficult to explain but when the knob is completly clockwise you get softer cleaner tones, and when you crank it completly counter-clockwise you get a louder, distorted (depending on the amp settings), warm tone."
Correct me if I'm wrong - The 5th knob is a redundant volume knob for the neck pickup. The only difference being that it won;t quite completely close off.
It would be interesting to do a blind experiment where in subjects compared tones of guitars adjusted with the 5th knob as opposed to the regular neck volume knob. I really wonder if there is any sonic difference or if any perceived tonality differences are a result of the placebo effect. |

John, I think your summary of the fith knob is not doing it justice. It is in fact a mystical, all powerful goddess of a control, that makes controlling the overall tone of different gtrs through the same rig, in a live situation, an absolute breeze.
I use mine all the time...it's a fantastic & very useful tool to have at your disposal at gigs. |
