purptiger Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I have a 2015 American Standard Strat with Fat 50s pickups. I love the sound of this guitar. Lately it seems that the D and G strings have a compressed sound when I play single note leads. I have a preset with a plexi Marshall amp set with two speaker cabs. When I play chords I don’t hear the compressed tone. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Without seeing or hearing your actual preset.... I can only lend my general opinion on Strats. I have always found them to sound somewhat "compressed" compared to most other guitars. This is more pronounced on the 2/4 positions and/or if the pickups are set too high (or strings to low).
