My understanding its that the medium and/or vintage output HBs were transitioned to high output to drive the front end of the amp for more gain/sustain before MV/high gain amps developed and/or to avoid distortion boxes, etc.
Now there are piles of amps with high gain, what are the advantages of using med/low outputs PUPs v. high output HBs and lower gain settings?
For example, does using the low/med HBs with high gain setting translates into a more effective clean tone when the vol is turned down in the instance that the guitar is set up with "50's wiring".
