So I have an HH strat I love and was considering making it SSS again, but I have some concerns.
I like distortion. Not metal, but maybe just a little heavier than like, Jeff Beck levels
In the neck of my HH strat I have a 59 in the neck, a SH-5 in the bridge. Obviously the 59 is a little low output, but through my rig (basically amp and pedal sims, RAT into HiWatt), it's plenty beefy and distorts fine.
I have a tele with the 5-2 set in it. Same deal. Lower output pickups so they're not screaming like my SH-5 BUT I feel like if they were a little more overwound, they would get there
Years ago, I had an SSS strat with CS69's in it. Again, low output, but just monster sound with a RAT
My buddy has a player strat, one of the newer ones. Stock pickups...I have the RAT set way hot and I'm still not getting that beefy scream I like. Like, I alsmot feel as if I'd need 2 rats or an extra pedal to push it to where I like it
Can anyone explain why this is, and/or point me to some strat pickups that will scream for me...I'm eyeing the Hot Noiseless fenders, but things like the Injectors and custom stack also have my attention
I just wanna make sure there's enough output
