Maybe I just haven't found the right guitar for it yet, but the AT-1 bores me to tears.
I hear you as I have moved mine from guitar to guitar until I think I found a good home for it (for now....)
I installed Duncan Classic Strat Plus's in for somebody. I wasn't that impressed. A bit dissapointing. They seemed to lack responsiveness to picking dynamics. They were good if you switched off the noiseless. There's a reason the Dimarzio Area series have become the industrty standard for noiseless SCs, I guess.
When the Classic and Hot Stacks came out in the 80s I had one of each. While they had healthier outputs than the HS-x series of DiMarzio, to me they did not sound anything like true single coils. The OBL ("Original Bill Lawrence") L 250 series also missed that mark IMHO.
