Is the tone knob overrated?

[Los-D]

Friends don’t let friends play PAF bridge pickups without a tone knob.

It’s satire to the original subject line lol

Having a brain is not overrated just like having a tone knob is not overrated.

Should probably point out that there is no where in the article that Diamond says the tone knob is overrated. Only that she doesn't use them and it was first to go.

The idea that tone knobs are overrated only exists in the click-baity title by Guitar World.

For shame.

I just got your joke . Too good lol

I can understand not finding them that useful for metal stuff.

But for anything else, hell yeah a tone knob is super useful. Turn your amp to teeth rattling treble, roll back guitar tone knob. Adjust darker/brighter as needed.

Volume knob is a 'tone' control.

Such a big difference in the world of playing clean and playing dirty...

For the players that dime the overdrive to "11" --- I can understand why the tone knob is never used... It really depends on lot on the player ! I myself could NOT live without the tone control.. But I play clean most of the time...
