anybody know what pickups the guy from stone temple pilots used or what pups what get a similar tone. specifically the core album (sex type thing, wicked garden, plush)

I have tried endlessly to try and figure this out.. but I can never find out the info for his pups. I think that he may be using stock pups and all the sound comes from the processors he runs through. I've used a JB and gotten away with a close replica of the tone from Sex Type Thing

dude... I've been looking, I've heard some good STP tones from a JB, but it really lies in low output pickups (try a 59)

Dean Deleo is a strange dude when it comes to guitars. He is really a Tele/single coil guy, and he uses Vox amps primarily. However, on tour is is regularly seen with a Gibson Les Paul.

I recorded a version of Plush, and of Interstate Love Song. I used my Dean Hardtail, which is a PRS type guitar, with the JB in the bridge. It captured the vibe pretty well. The amp was my Boss GT-6, and I used the 1959 Marshall patch, with the gain up pretty good, expecially on Plush, and the mids really boosted to fatten it up. Just a touch of chorus and delay on Plush also, to give it that slightly wierd sound.

Check em out by clicking on my soundclips down in my sig. Nevermind, here's the link.

chorus is a big part, yes dean's got great taste in guitars... most of tiny music was recorded using a p90 special les paul, as for amps he usually goes into vox head to marshall 4x12. He also occasionally uses a Guild Thunderbird from what I hear (a really cool guitar)

The problem with the STP sound is getting gain, chimeyness, and clarity.

I am lucky enough to have gotten to meet both Brenden O'Brain as well as Dean! Dean has a 56 LP Jr, which is stock several 60's Telecasters which are stock, and several 70's LP's which are...stock. As for amps he will use and does use everything under the sun in the studio, but live it's been the same rig since before STP...Vox AC-30 and then a VHT Power amp with a rack mount tube preamp, and a very small pedal board.

nice clips jeff.

yeah i think the key is getting a FULL sound if you know what i mean. and what slade said, gain and clarity.

hey Jeff is that you singing in those clips... it sounds good man!

I've seen videos of STP recording their first album.

I recall a cherryburst LP Standard with stock pickups for the Core Album. I think MOST of the tone is coming from his botique, custom made pre-amp, made by Demeter.

The guitar sound on this album is perhaps the MOST processed it's ever been...sounds like some chorus going on, very saturated. The album sounds fantastic though. Brendan OBrien is the man. The bass sounds huge on that album, and plays a big part in the overall sound.
The next album, Purple, he used a LP junior with P90s. Listen to Interstate, and that's SO P90ish.

The album after that, tiny Music, he used the LP junior and a telecaster. Listen to tumble in the rough, Lady Picture show...Tele all the way.

His main, main amp for a while has been a Demeter preamp, through some sort of poweramp, thru marshall 4x12s.

I remember him saying in an interview about their last album, that his tone is a combo of Vox and Demeter.

Naw....Plush is done by Hoss, and ILS is by dd12169...can't recall the actual numbers behind his initials, but David from Missouri. He's a regular on the forums.

I have a hard time carrying a tune in a bucket.

I have a hard time carrying a tune in a bucket.that's cool... I remember learning to play Knockin' back in grade 8 for the school talent night... just me and a chair with the song playing in the school's PA system.. lol

I still love playing that solo!

i just saw SNL with STP and he was playin a sunburst gibson les paul (not sure what one) with the stock pups it looks like. i saw marshall cabs behind him and i saw a rack on the far lest of the stage behind the bassist. i swear i saw one of those marshal JMP rack unit things. well anywho he also used a wah and i could tell he had some delay on there.

i could be wrong.

I think I have stp's quot;story tellerquot; mtv show on tape somewhere. I will watch it tonite and report what I see.

I'm guessing just the stock pickups. He has a lot of unique sounding ampilifiers that he uses for recording. He'd always layer guitar tracks, often with different guitars and amps on the same song. On Interstate Love Song he used a Tele and a Les Paul. For some of the jazzy tracks like And So I Know... he'll use a hollowbody Gibson with a single P-90 in the neck. P-90s, low output Telecaster and Les Paul pickups are the ticket.
