I use a Marshall 1960A 4x12 cab (with T-75 speakers). Using these strings, it's a nice balance due to the fact that this particular cab tends to run a bit bright and with these strings, it dulls the sound just enough, complementing the cab. I use them with a 7 string and I love em... They are worth the try...

I was having a problem with my new amp and the pick scraping attack sound I was getting. It was way too much grind to the point that the note couldn't be heard while playing fast tremolo picked palm mutes. I re-evaluated everything and tried different picks and different picking techniques. These strings are the perfect solution to lessen the grind. I could see how most metal guitarists would hate these strings, but I use tortex picks, hold the pick funny, and play very hard. My amp and pickups also have a ton of attack, it's the ENGL Savage 120 and EMG 81. So these are now my string of choice, the downside with these is that my clean sound suffers. The bright switch and EQ on my amp's clean channel can compensate enough to make it acceptable. These strings fool cool and I like the fact that they're nice to my frets. They are harder to bend and tremolo and they are a little expensive but to me it's the only option so I will continue to purchase them.

i bought these strings a few days ago and immediatly threw them onto my tele. they were lacking the brightness associated with a normal round wound string but added a fullness and ease of play to my guitar. when sliding the smoothe surface feels great and chromes dont squeak when you are moving around the neck. on any other guitar i would be careful with these strings if a bright sound is what youre after. for some reason they seem harder to bend than other .10's but they are a dream to play and are at least worth a try

I've been playing these strings on my guitar for just over a year. At this point I can say I'm very pleased. I love the rich mellow "golden" tone I get from my guitar. I play an Ibanez As193 (335 clone) with authentic '57 PAF humbuckers. They sound great, and the feel of the flat wounds is like butter.

I just bought a few sets of these strings for my 7 string to try something new. I'm really disappointed because these things are not at all what I need. The good thing about them is that they are very smooth to the touch and shiny as hell. However they lack what counts most, tone. These things have absolutely no brightness to them at all. They have a really mellow sound that compared to the strings I'm used to seems totally lifeless. When I went to the D'Addario website I found out that the Chromes are the mellowest sounding strings they make compared to the other series and I really wish I'd known that before buying them cause they are very expesive. Buyer beware.
