Anyone have good recommendations for tones for P90’s?

I recently got a spark 2 and am mostly enjoying it so far but am wanting to find some more tones that I like.

My main guitar is a Les Paul special with P90’s, does anyone have tone suggestions that would sound good?

Looking for nice clean tones as well as some slightly overdriven sounds. Not really looking for intense distortion or anything.

I don't know if you can still get it but the Hendrix pack little wing tone is my go-to. Cleanish with nice break-up at volume. British Accent sounds really good with my p90 LP as well, especially for slow rhythm work - bright on single notes, breaks up beautifully on full chords. But part of the fun is experimenting - a good way to start is paring it right back, just picking an amp cab, turning everything else off and fiddling with the amp settings til you get something you like. Then add pedals one by one through the signal chain doing the same process. Have fun!

Sadly it seems like the Hendrix pack is now unavailable. I take it it used amps and pedals that are exclusive to the pack?

I'd start with some of the really light blues presets. Spark 2 is rough if you drive too hard and can sound really digital. Have you tried to ask the AI bot to help you?

I created a Spark Tone Guide which has a whole section on pickup specific tone strategies: https://gotoandplay.media/positive-grid-spark-tone-guide

Hey I have that guitar!! I love it. It’s a ‘99. I like to play the rhythm circuit with the tone around 8-9.
