Hey folks, I have a question for anyone who has tried the humbucker from hell.  I'm wondering if it's faulty or if it's just much lower output than I would expect. 
I'm a lifelong electric guitar player but I'm new to the forums here, and not very tech savy, so I would appreciate any advice.  I recently installed a humbucker from hell in the neck of an HSH ibanez prestige with a basswood body.   I was looking for a bright, articulate pickup and thought this would fit the bill.   
The pickup seems incredibly underpowered though.  I have an H3 in the middle position, and the H3 is way louder than the HFH, even though the height of the H3 is lower.  If I adjust the pickup height so that the HFH is even with the fingerboard,  the H3 single coil is still louder.  I can verify this by looking at the waveforms in my DAW.
 Notes fade off really quickly.  There is also this weird sound that sounds like fret buzz or two notes being played at once, but it's not present when I use the H3 or the bridge pup.
The wiring seems to be okay, it's not wired for parallel or anything.  Could this be a problem with the pickup?  Or some some faulty wiring? Or is this just the humbucker from hell?   Thanks!
