Re: Your favorite OD pedals to kick a medium-gain amp into high-gain? So I present: the Guvernator. Kit by musikding.de, took a bit long until it arrived due to the company being on vacation in the meantime. Anyway, it's assembled and ready to rock. Socketed the spots for the clipping diodes...

So, I'm in the process of buying a Laboga Caiman amp. Sound- and gain-wise it's about JCM800-ish territory on the distortion channel, maybe a tad more modern and less pokey. I'm playing pretty high output pickups already (Dimarzio Super Distortions, AT-1, Duncan Alternative 8) and have some DIY...

Just a quick review (as I myself did not find much in terms of information comparing these 2 pickups specifically). A while ago I got myself a used MIK Tokai (LP Custom style). Very nice playing and looking guitar, pickups were not too bad, but not suited to what I'm playing. Put a Dimarzio...

Hello everyone, Recently got myself a MIK Tokai LP used and really love that guitar. The only thing I'd like to change is the pickups. They are certainly not bad, but kind of lacking for my taste in some areas. What I'd like is a bridge pickup that gives me a bit of a faster and tighter...

Duncan Custom bridge + Dimarzio Chopper middle + Dimarzio Pro Track neck Already have the Custom in the bridge with 2 Texas Specials, which just lack the balls and tonality I want from the guitar. I don't want it to sound like a vintage Strat, more like a hot, modern Super-Strat! The Custom...

So, FINALLY I dropped an SH-5 in my beloved Strat, changing the knob layout (master volume and tone, mini-switch for coil-splitting) and pot values (500K). Thanks for the recommendations guys, the Custom is just pure awesomeness in the shape of a pickup. :lmao: It does everything I wanted from...

Hey guys, Finally got a Duncan SH-5 for my Strat and need some help. I want to wire it with 2 volume pots with 500K for the HB and 250K for the singles and a 500K master tone knob. Also I want to use a 2-way mini-toggle for coil splitting. Can anyone provide a wiring diagram for that?

Hey guys, Switching the Fender Atomic of my HSS Strat, this time for real. I know I already made this kind of thread a good while ago, but I still feel like needing a bit of help. :1: Had to pay for other stuff back then but now I have the money, done more research and have a more definite idea...

Hello everyone! I recently signed up here after reading quite a few very informative threads. Now, I am looking for a new humbucker for my Fender American Special HSS Strat. While I really like the guitar and the Texas Specials, I feel that the Atomic humbucker is quite lacking. Especially...
