Does a Floyd Rose change your tone?

the Floyd Rose kills the initial attack/bite of the note

There is something disturbing about seeing a LP with a Floyd

Feel like the FR sounds a bit more metallic, especially noticeable on the clean part you played.

Put a Tremmory in that Les Paul with the Floyd, you'll thank me later. It reintroduces the sustain and bottom end that the hard tail has.

Slightly brighter on the low strings with the Floyd. Otherwise, the difference in tone is negligible, especially with higher gain.

[Skoora]

More noticeable with clean but agree with your assessment. Some high gain amps benefit from a bolt on neck guitar, with or without a Floyd because they send less low end and more top end into a low heavy saturation circuit. Recto’s, older 5150’s all sound pretty good no boost required with Strats and super Strats. Gibson’s are where an EQ pedal or low cutting boost are needed. But straight into a brown Fender or plexi circuit, that Gibson is golden.

I can subscribe to this notion. I have built a les paul, and later routed a Floyd. Changed the tone quite dramatically. Not in a bad way, but it did change, exactly as this test showed.

What was the riff you played?

Edit: the high gain riff.
