Hey folks, looking to upgrade the pups in my Squier Affinity HH Strat and I want to know which SD humbucker offers the biggest low end. The EQ charts on the site aren’t helpful and no way I can find to compare them. Thanks!

SD Humbucker with the most low end?

There are a few with lots of low end but they are different. Some can have a tight low end and others have Big lows but they sound muddy to me.
And what do you want with the top and mids? They all come in a package deal.
Invader has a big low end but the whole thing is flubby/muddy to my ears. The only way I can enjoy that pup is wired parallel.
Alt 8 has a good solid low end with lots of mids to match and a strong high end but not bright by any means. Nothing like the Invader.
So really, what are you looking for? And what type of music you want to play with it?Originally Posted by IanBallard
Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.

Tone Zone bridge, Bluesbucker neck. The TZ is dark and thick. The BB is a P90 sound, not dark, but it compliments the TZ well.You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright

Second the Invader. You can also back that one away from the strings a lot more than most others if you're looking for crunch and clarity. There is a sweet spot.
Bare Knuckle Warpig with a ceramic magnet would also be great for this kind of sound.Take it to the limit
Everybody to the limit

People here have also done various experiments with the Invader and reported - iirc changing out the big cap nuts to something smaller can alter the low end, so it might be a good option in case of necessary tweakage.
