    Conventional hum bucket most like L500XL

    What Duncan humbucker of conventional construction (slugs and slotted adjustable poles) might most resemble the BL L500XL tone.? I am looking for something of that sounds for a super strat but without the bladed design. Perpetual burn? Distortion? Dokken bucker? Custom? Others?.... Sent from...

    modded JB tone change

    I have an alder body/maple neck HH floyd'd superstrat that I currently have a Jazz in the neck and a Screamin Demon in the bridge.

    Tweaking humbucker for maximum snap and clarity

    I have an alder mapler floyd super strat with a screamin demon in the bridge. I love this pickup and the clarity and high end. I did some youtubing recently and found this tone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbWO3jEyrcQ This is some killer tone and the snappyness on the low strings are...

    modded plexi style open sounding distortion/drive pedal advise

    I play mostly 80s style hard rock riffage and leads. Think VH, Ratt, Dokken, Ozzy, Whitesnake, White Lion, Extreme, Tesla etc. I play an alder/maple floyd superstrat with a Screamin demon in the bridge into a blackstart HT20. I am looking at getting a distortion pedal that can mimic that...

    harmonics and pickup height?

    Ok so I think I have heard equally from two different approaches when it comes to this. I have an alder/maple super strat with a jazz neck and Screamin Demon bridge floyd setup. When it comes to the bridge humbucker and really making natural and pinched harmonics really pop and squeal what...

    Seeking information on the Original El Diablo

    I am currently on a quest to find a new bridge pickup. My guitar is a alder/maple superstrat currently with with a jb/jazz set. I have tried the regular screamin demon but felt it was a little to thin/hollow and shrill but had good cleans and articulation. I like the JB but feel like its a...

    Has anyone combined these two humbuckers to create a JB/Demon hybrid pickup? I am curious as to what it would sound like and how it would play. Any experiences/thoughts out there?

    blackstar HT20 Combo issues

    I have a Blackstar HT20 combo and lately when I turn it on it does not turn on "all the way." I get it being a tube amp that it won't just switch on like SS do. What is happening is that when I turn it on there is almost no volume coming through the speaker. If I CRANK up the master volume I...

    Dual Screamin Demons advise?

    I have an alder/maple super strat with a gotoh floyd that I love. Currently it has a Screamin Demon in the neck and an JB in the bridge. I love the Demon in the neck and really like the overall girth/single coil like cut it has. I really liked the JB in the bridge initially but recently have...
