I´m looking for a clear sounding speaker to brighten up my Laney Cub 8, which is, kind of, warm sounding, and this one seems to fit the bill. Anyone in the forum has any experience with 8 inch speakers that have clarity in overdriven settings?. Thank you.

The Pickup Place / New Pickups!
« on: July 20, 2020, 02:03:30 PM »
I just dropped them in my PRS SE. Very nice. Very low output, but sweet sounding and dynamic, with a bit of single coil vibe. They seem to like my Green Russian style pedal :)

The Pickup Place / Dimarzio Air Classics vs PAF 36th anniversary sets
« on: June 17, 2020, 05:15:23 PM »
Hi.

I´m interested in these sets for a 25 inch, Korina body and neck (no maple cap), rosewood fingerboard PRS SE Singlecut.

Besides output and midrange emphasis, what are the main differences between these two sets (in terms of brightness/warmthm clarity, string separation, etc.)?.

Which one would give my guitar a "more balanced" tone?.

Thanks.

All these pickups are available in F-spaced format at a local shop nearby. I want to replace the stock pups in a PRS SE Singlecut, and I was wondering what are the main tonal differences between these models.

The stock bridge pup is a little bit thin, and the stock neck pup lacks definition. I just would like a fuller/fatter bridge humbucker and a very clean neck HB with less bass and mids. Output is not necesarrily and issue (I get dirt from my pedals).

Same question for neck pups (Air Classic Neck, Blues Bucker, Air Norton,  Humbucker From Hell, PAF Joe, PAF Pro).

Thank you.

I want to get more oohmph out of my Super Distortion/PAF Pro combo. I know a 1 mega ohm volume pot would make them scream, but I’m wondering about the effect of a 1 mega ohm tone pot on the sound. Will it be much brighter?. A friend of mine has two 1 mega ohm tone/volume pots for his X2N/Tone Zone pups.

I would like something to help me tighten up an Orange Micro Dark, and it will fitted in the bridge position of a bolt on, Basswood body, Maple neck single cut 24.75 guitar. Thanks.

I know, I know. A fat sounding amp with a fat sounding bridge pickup/clear neck pup. I’ve only been able to hear the combination through the cab sim headphone out, and I find myself dialing the shape knob on the scooped side. I use a Boss SD-1 to tighten things up a bit. Which tight sounding speaker would complement the combination?. V-30 or similar speakers come to mind, but I would like your opinions. Of course, an SD/PAF Pro combo through a Micro Dark means hard rock and Metal.

The Pickup Place / Super Distortion + PAF Pro

After months of trying to figure out which pups would work for my LTD eclipse, a luthier recommended me this combination, which ad far as I know, works well on bolt on guitars. I can’t wait to hear them!.   ;D

The Pickup Place / Neck pickup for a PAF pro bridge?
« on: August 19, 2017, 08:33:53 PM »
Hi. I recently bought a PAF pro to replace the bridge pickup in a  Basswood body, Maple/Rosewood neck guitar, and I'm looking for a neck pup to match it. I'm looking for maximum clarity and definition under high gain settings so I'm considering another PAF pro, or a PAF Joe, or a PAF master neck, or a HB from hell, or an EJ Custom neck. I also plan to use the neck, or both pickups, for clean playing, so it has to be a very clean pickup as well. I would appreciate if you share your experiences with each pup in the neck position. Thanks.

The Pickup Place / Humbucker from Hell question
« on: December 12, 2015, 11:49:38 AM »
Hi, I'm looking for a clear, clean and sort of "single coilish" neck pickup for my SG, and I wonder if the Humbucker From Hell would perform this way with the guitar's 300k linear volume pots?. Should I consider the EJ Custom neck or other options instead?. Thanks
