I think he does. It's called the Brobucker.

Yup, "Angus in a Box" seems to be the consensus on it.

[SlowGroove]

HUH ? . . . i thought he has his own Gibbo sig unit ?

Gibson made him one, along with his sig SG. He's always used stock Gibson pups to the best of my knowledge.

yup. Ttops and PAF's as far as i know.

[Christopher Caruana]

He has been known to expiriment a little, note the bridge pickup....

that looks a dimarzio X2N

[Christopher Caruana]

Considering the era, you're probably right.

was the picture from late '70s/early '80s ?

I think the closest to a Angus 'signature' in the SD line would be the '59 neck in both neck and bridge. Probably closest thing to at t-top. I've got a 59 set in an SG and lately I find myself thinking the bridge is too hot, can you believe that? And that's straight into the amp. I sincerely think I'm going to get another 59n and replace it.

I would think they'd be close to the same output man...one's just EQ'd for the bridge spot.

Did you try lowering the pickup first?

+1, lower it and raise the poles a little if you haven't already; the difference in the 59s' winds won't amount to that much output

Why would you want to sound like Angus Young in the first place?

[Diocletian]

Because you wouldn't?


Just noticed your username too. Like Page and Angus have such different tones eh?

No I wouldnt want to sound like him; its about the most bland chunky crunch tone ever recorded with. Sorry, never got the alternating and direct currents obsession lol. Others get it, but I cant.... my loss I suppose, but I think I"ll be ok.

Yeah actually they do sound different to me. Angus has a much more chunky edgy tone whereas in comparison Page is generally a bit brighter and smoother. I dont think they sound at all similar other than the type of pickups they use...

ya angus does have an edge to his tone that page never had

[SlowGroove]

Love BOTH Angus & Page's tone !
Both, have a great Rock n' Roll tone, that is for sure !

has angus actually ever used the signature model gibson made for him on stage? ive always seen him with his vintage SG's.

[ponch]

Benjy_26 had mentioned to me back in the day that he was rockin the BBQ from rio grande if I'm not mistaken

[The_Sentry]

How much would anyone be willing to be Angus doesn't even use the sig pups that Gibson is selling right now?
