Sid McGinnis

He uses an older version of Pro Junior which was modified to his needs.

"It was refinished when I bought and it's been my main go-to guitar ever since then...I don't own anything that's pristine," says Sid McGinnis, at 0:45 in this rig rundown video, by Premier Guitar.

"This is actually a real '52 Goldtop. It was a Goldtop, now it's pea soup green...it's fantastic, it's light," says Sid McGinnis, at 3:40 in this video.

Sid has both channels set to the CLEAN setting. He has the TREBLE BOOST trim pot turned up a bit, to keep his 50s strat bright and clean on the bridge/middle pickup position which he uses for noise reduction. He uses the volume control on his strat to either get a REALLY clean sound, or cranked for some drive. He goes to his Boss DS-1/Pro (analog man PRO mod) for even more distortion. His DS1/pro is set for minimum gain so it's still not very distorted. The SIDTONE tweed deluxe clone he made does not have a lot of headroom, so it does not need much gain from pedals. But the King of Tone pedals works great for it.
