See? I think I've said this before but the JB is the "it just works" pickup lol I could change all my bridge humbuckers to JBs and be happy with that. The only weakness is that the clean sucks. However, splitting the coil in the Neck + Bridge position gives some of the best cleans ever, so...

I like the JB the most, then the Custom. I do not like the Distortion. It sounded too "grainy" I don't have a JB installed right now (no place for it), but it's definitely a fav.

I've used non-F spaced Super Distortions with strats I've used non-F spaced Tone Zones and Duncan 59s with Floyded strats I've noticed zero issues whatsoever

I actually forgot to post this, but I got this Kramer last weekend, put a DiMarzio Super 3 on it It sounds incredible, like, really good.

Indeed

They ran out of Satchur8s

I got a DiMarzio chopper, planning to get an IGNO I'm still thinking. For a HSS guitar with 2 rail pickups, what should I be getting? Another Chopper? Fast Track? Cruiser? Or do I get a Pro Track and put the Chopper in the middle? Lol

Got this earlier, but didn't get to post it until now A 2017 Momose 和 (wa) series Strat. Very nice, very well built. Body is Japanese alder and the neck is a very nice 1 piece quartersawn Japanese maple It's listed as sonic blue and looks sonic blue in photos, but it's a bit greener IRL...

Obviously we all know that, but when I was starting out EMGs were in the middle of an overswing/overcorrection to being "bland", "strident" or just "tinny" Well, I'm using the 85 and two SAs and I love them very much. I have to set the pickups much lower than I usually see EMGs set though...

​ Literally "hey we just made Super Distortions with a slug and fillister bobbins" Clearly shop floor customs have spoiled us

My Suhr Standard

Been a month since I got this amp completely fixed So, it's just time to put it through its paces All guitars during the solo portion is me since the AI removed all guitars for that part including rhythm ​

It's What Marshall recommended At least as per Marshall and Santiago Alvarez, apparently the holders are the real issue, and that seems to be the case here as I've measure the fuse + holder themselves dropping the voltage from what it should be

Thanks My office is on the 2nd floor, so it wasn't too scary. The amp actually died again, so I decided to hardwire it Glad I did because the fuse holder was burning the PCB

Turns out the no. 4 tube was oriented wrong (!!!) So I put the original tubes back in, properly oriented, rebiased to 31.8mV (technically mA, but these have a bias probe) for each tube. NOW the amp actually jumps to life a LOT more. Volume issue more than fixed. Amp is slightly louder...
