Yeah, I grabbed a couple from Mojotone.I was hoping you would respond here. You know soooo much more about this than I do. I’m still learning how all of this works.
I did discover that somehow I lost the spacer in my pickup when I was mag swapping. I searched for it but just can’t find it. There’s a better than probable chance that, that is causing my squealing. I ordered a couple which arrived today and this weekend I’ll install it and pot the pickup and see how it goes.
I bought a small crock pot and 2 lbs of paraffin, which I have already melted. I’m going to make a jig to hold the pickup submerged in the wax!
Ok, you took the pickup apart and lost the spacer. So the parts are not secure.
So you need to get something in there so no part of the pickup can move. A little wiggle translates to a lot of squealing.
You can buy the spacers on line.

Your vid sounded great!I really didn’t notice. One was a short video...a couple of minutes long and another was one of Petrucci playing.

That first video is me! Figured it was worth throwing something quick together as there was no info anywhere. At the time I recorded it I didn't know anything about it specs.
I assumed ceramic though, based on his previous pickups.
Sounds just killer, just ordered another one for my Jem Jr. Going to order a Rainmaker soon too.
NB: The Dreamcather is taller than the Tone Zone it replaced, so in this guitar with direct-mounted pickups I had to mount it without any foam or anything under it to get it low enough.
The Rainmaker is the same height as the TZ, I emailed them and asked.
