"I get incredible overdrive sounds from my 7.4K toasters."
This is interesting. Karl, are you saying that the overdrive on your 7.4's is as good as, or better than hi-gains? |

Thats a personal choice compairing them to high-gains.
I like the sound of vintage toasters through low watt amps the best.
Part of the magic with 7.4K toasters is having to turn up a lower watt tube amp along with the use of lower ferrous nickle strings.
THATS THE SOUND!!
I use nickle flats and nickle rounds.
It's the same sounds you hear on all the 60 recordings if you know the right guitar and amp configurations.
Plugged in a Marshall they will nail the early WHO. Thats classic toaster overdrive!!!
Also, listen to classic Steppenwolf. |

I think some new toaster users have had sour luck because they tried a guitar with the overwound toaster reissues from last decade (some like those overwound toasters!)
If you use steel strings along with a high wattage amp, you will fight them. |

Would the consensus then be that the CW sucks with distortion? I don't play thrash or anything like, but I like a nice bit of overdrive.
If this is the case then my decsion is made... |

I see Tony...
Then the die is cast! Thanks guys - I'll let you know when my 24-fret high gainer arrives!
Oooh, she'll be black and shiny alright. Like a black mirror. "how much blacker could it be?" I'll ask myself. and the answer will be "none. None more black". |

Howdy,
The Hi-Gains on my new 360 are good for playing "Amos Moses" (Jerry Reed). With the toggle switch all the way down, Chickin' Pickin' can certainly be done on a 360!
I say this because for years I had 330's and found them to be more open and somewhat more hmm..Jazzy if you will, compared to the 360. Anyway, give me Hi-Gains for a Rickenbacker 6-string.

I really liked the sound of my 1997 325v63(Hot Toasters?)with distortion.Very diffent than my 330 with Hi-Gains.It had a kinda P-90 G-R-R-R-L that surprised me. |
