This might be a dumb question but will a Distortion/OD pedal react differently to high output pickups and low output pickups? I mean if your using the Duncan Distortion pickup in one guitar are you gonna turn up the gain a little on your stomp box if you switch to a guitar with the 59? Just curious

When asking for pickup suggestions please tell us what amp you`re using -
Re: Distortion/OD pedals and Pickups?
Probably.
That's the best answer I can give really.
Pedals don't clean up with volume the same way tubes do, but some of them do become cleaner as I roll down the volume.|| Guitar | Wah | Vibe | Amp || -
Re: Distortion/OD pedals and Pickups?
The stompbox will sound more compressed with higher output pickups, because more gain is hitting the front end of the circuit.Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.Comment

You'll probably find that the Guitar with the 59 in it sounds much better under high gain. It will have more clarity, and a much more intelligeable sound...
