which seymour humbucker will get me this tone?

[SlowGroove]

The guitar sounds like Flock of Seaguls or U2. I think the amp is key.

AMEN


. . . deff a major factor, much more than the pu's !

And it does sound AC30'ish !

so do my alnico 2 pros have a similar sound to the burst buckers?

i feel bad talking about gibson pickups in the seymour forum since i am a die hard seymour pickup fan. haha.

I'd say, IF you have an AC30TB, you are save, and can deff get that tone - no problem !

Searching other videos of 'Forever' yeilded that the guy is always using a Les Paul (a 1976 Standard to be exact) for this song...digging further I'd found this page...
http://nathanwright.org/2008/09/23/g...daniel-carson/

..he's very fond of AC 30's (Daniel will typically run stereo into 2 British Vox AC30TB’s (Top Boost))....from what I can gather he uses Gibson Burstbuckers.

In discussions related to him people talk about brightening up thier LP, which I'm no expert at...just found these in a discusions related to him.

(this list is BY NO MEANS indicative of things Daniel has done..just might help you get that tone).

Lower the pickups and raise the adjustment screws.
Install a treble bleed cap.
Install the RS kit or 50's wiring mod.
Real 500K pots.
Aluminum stop bar.
Steel studs and different strings.

This guy has the Edge tone completely nailed. I wonder how much of his drive is coming from the AC30, and how much of it is from some combination of pedals.
