As the title says, is it me or..?
I recently bought a SH-15 as a replacement for the stock pickups in my Jackson JS32.
Since I had another Jackson with a JB (which I love!) in the bridge, I wanted something similar, but "different".
Based on the fantastic reviews and feedback on the interwebs I felt confident that the Alt8 would be an excellent choice.
However, so far I'm less than impressed!
I find that, if setup to "default" specs (around 3/32 or 2.4mm), the Alt8 is:
I'm running my guitar into BIAS FX2 through a MOTU m2 interface.
Using the same settings and amp modelling as with the JB I can get the Alt8 to sound "OK" at best...
So, did I get the wrong pickup or is it something else, like right pickup/wrong guitar?

- Insanely hot
- Fizzy
- Sterile
- Extremely compressed
