I think it’s mythology…….Les Pauls into big muffs roar!!

dude I use fuzz with humbuckers all the time for my stuff
fuzz with p90s sounds wicked
and SGs are awesome

SG with P-90s would be so awesome

I actually prefer the way my big muff sounds with my Epiphone G-400 more than how it sounds with any of my other guitars. That guitar seems to really bring out something special within that pedal. I think it’s the tonal qualities of the Mahogany body matching the tonal qualities of the big muff better than say, an alder body like a fender. So if you’re getting a gibson, i can only imagine it sounding better than my epiphone

I also use a Gibson SG, but a Special with twin humbuckers. Great sound in EHX pedals, just as I also get a great, but different, sound using a Fender US Stratocaster Standard Plus from ’92. However, my everyday workhorse with which I develop most of my sounds is the guitar pictured below, and designed by Trevor Wilkinson who also helped design the US Standard Plus Strat.
:rawk:

Sounds like the best of both worlds! The Vintage Les Paul Lemon Drop has the added feature of inverted polarity when both PUs are working which also gives a hybrid-type sound scape on the guitar, no doubt the reason why I use it so much.

yes, i have two les pauls both with humbuckers, i get awesome sound on my big muff & english muffn. i had an lp with p90s and it sounded a little better than the humbuckers on my micro synth and octave multiplexer, i think because it was single coil (like most fenders) the tracking was more seamless than humbuckers, aka, not so glitchy (but still kinda glitchy). i suppose it depends on the kinds of effects you use — octave dividers, or fuzz/distortion?

by the way, has anyone else run an octave multiplexer or micro synth through a big muff or english muffin? it sounds AWESOME! the synth thru the big muff zaps crunchy robot sounds and the multiplexer thru eng muffn tears my head off and throws it against the wall, then the stack, then back again. totally boggles my mind!
