    I'm running a Screamin' Demon in the neck with a JB2 in the bridge of my MIJ San Dimas ProMod. The two work great together. On of my best sounding and playing guitars.

    I'm not sure how it would work in an LP however so that is on you.

      I've tried the Custom and it is too brittle and hard. A Custom Custom yes but not a Custom.
      Ditto. Custom in an SL2H and I'm not so sure. Going to swap for a Warpig set. CC in my 1980's ESP Horizon is awesome.

        Still loud as F. Took the edge off the highs, de-mid spiked it, tightened up the bass a touch. Overall, it sounded like a cross between a Distortion and a SuperDistortion, in all kinds of good ways.

          I didn't like the JB8. It lost all the harmonics that I liked in the stock JB and developed an annoying clank in the low end. Maybe it had something to do with the guitar it was in, mahogany body, set neck, ~25" scale. I tend to prefer the Alternative 8, probably because it was designed around the A8 mag.
          For a JB, aside from an A5, I like a UOA5. Just enough added mids without getting too spongy.

            The JB really is a great magnet-taker, any way you want to go with it.
