Get the tone
Mick Jones and Joe Strummer were valve amp devotees and their big sound is the result of them being cranked and played loud. They played a Les Paul and a Telecaster respectively and this blend of humbuckers and single-coil pickups provides both weight and treble bite. Select a bridge pickup and raise your amp’s treble if your guitar is sporting a humbucker. Lower the treble and raise the bass if you have single coils.
