Great video, glad I found it. I can hear that the 500XL pleasingly sounds more focused, and less bosomy, whereas the SD may need to have the low midrange attenuated at the amp.

Great demos man thanks for sharing, it was cool hearing the difference between the SDJB and the BLX500. I recently picked up a super lead myself, not modded, it is definitely a fun amp. I also own a jcm 800 which I find if I boost with an SD1, I can get that green day tone

Watched this again and holy shit dude, i think you have have an amp modded similary to the SE Lead Mod that Billie used on Insomniac. Tone is spot on

Overall the L500XL matches better with the Green Day sound. The Sh-4 has too much low-end, which Billie didn't really use.

the youtube seems to have added some weird wobbly compression crap to the audio, making it sound like a low quaity mp3....but the tone otherwise, holy smokes you've got it. i just ordered me a wilde l500xl to switch a dull sounding humbucker out of something. can't wait to get it and mangle some soldering!

Great Job dude!!! Mad Props for making this video man. I can't tell which one I like better.....I think the Duncan is prolly better by just a lil bit. The L-500XL sounds a little more washed out if that makes sense. But again my man, Great Job!!! And this is of course Nick From Philadelphia!! Look up Green Day Asbury Park NJ I hate You - I'm the goofy dude on stage. Keep up the great work!!!

I think the L500XL sounds better for anything pre-Dookie. They both sound great. I have an SH-4 in my guitar and I’m thinking about buying an L500XL. Great video!

Perhaps but I think a lot of it is the different amps. 1039 being a Gallien-Krueger 250RL having those Iron Maiden tones is interesting, and understandable for the time period. Kerplunk sounds like it might be a JCM 900, which IMO does not sound as good as a JCM 800 or a Plexi. 900 thin and fuzzy. Especially at lower volumes.

I love the L-500XL. You're right, Billie's "Blue" is a 1981-82 Fernandes RST-80. That's what my guitar in the video is.

Thanks! The amp settings were: Presence:4 Bass: 6 Mid: 4.5 Treble: 6 Gain: 3.5 (for Basket Case) and 6 for everything else. Remember though that my amp had a gain stage added so your settings with most likely vary.

That's because the lx500 is the real deal, atleast up until Woodstock. That is around the time he switched. He thought that the sh-4 behaved better live .

I hear alot more low end and clarity on the duncan's for better or for worse depending on your style. The L500s have alot more Treble/Mids and cut. If I was going to play mostly lead guitar in a band where cutting through a mix is a key factor than the Lawrence seems superior. If I'm going to play mostly rhtyhm guitar with fat power chords and lots of palm muting/chugging than the Duncan's seem better suited. The JB also has a clearer fuller sound overall as well. So if your after clarity and chasing a perfect distortion tone without any extra unnecessary noise than the JBs would be better. If your more of a punk rock guitarist who loves a noiser more aggressive tone the L500 would be my choice. The Lawrence has more of a punk rock LoFi vibe to my ears. In my case the lawrence cuts better to my ears and is more the sound I'm looking for. I would also imagine if you do alot of Palm muting the JB is probably best. If you don't palm mute much and strum power chords more in a old school punk kind of way the Lawrence sounds better for that to my ears.
