Some quickee sound bytes comparing a box-stock GA-5, then modding that same GA-5 with only the trinity mods. Vol set at noon.

Quite diff'rent tones - the stock amp has that raw, raunchy, louder energy whereas the modded amp is more laid back, mellowed and lower volume. Lifting the NFB adds back a good measure of that rock 'n' roll tone (as I've done with my modded GA-5).

Same Strat as before, mic'd with a Zoom H2 in stereo at about 12" off the Sig 8 speaker cone. The first rock licks are picked using the Keystone bridge pickup, the second ragtime tune is fingerpicked using the neck L200 noiseless pickup.
