I'm actually thinking of trying it with a 250k pot to tame the highs a wee bit.Last edited by Dahla; 07-11-2013, 06:19 PM.

It seems like it self-distorts the upper mids, making it aggressive as hell! (it might be that the rig I use on the Kemper that makes it act that way). Actually cleans up pretty nice with the use of volume knob though. Compared to a EMG het set, the lows are a little more woofy, making the EMG seems anemic in comparison.

Re: Black Winter owner.... Feedback so far????
I have the invader in a B.C. Rich KKV (hard tail, not with the vib), and the invader is alot thicker down low, and not as grainy up high as BW.
If I has to choose between them, I'd say that for me the distortions seems like a better fit. I'm not giving up the BW just yet though.

Re: Black Winter owner.... Feedback so far????
I played with the BW tonight, and I've got to say: after a little TLC and new strings I decided to play a little with the pickup height. It made all the difference! After recording a few clips and running the sound through my usual daw stuff, the sound is scary close to what I have recorded with an ESP with the het set! They blended really well.
Totally awesome!
If I doubted this pup before, the doubt is now gone. These pups are staying in the explorer!

One question though, does the BW neck just sound like the bridge version, or is there some variation in the tone? I'm sold on at least putting a BW bridge in, but like to have those glassy, bluesy, bell like tones in the neck tones.

Re: Black Winter owner.... Feedback so far????
Two quick clips.
One with distortion and one clean. Playing just bridge, then bridge + neck and then just neck. Amp is Kemper, played through a Mesa patch.
All I had time for right now. Sorry guys...

Originally posted by Gone_Shootin View PostHey, I appreciate you taking the time. I use my Triple Rec when playing with my band, so those clips work well for me. And I like what I heard enough that when I get the extra money, I'm definitely going to get a set for my Explorer, and maybe a few of my other guitars, depending on how well they work out in the Explorer. Ola's demo vid got my attention, but actually hearing them in an Explorer made up my mind.
