Im using the Marshall dsl40c. Moderate to fully saturated gain with guitar volume at 8+. There's a lot of parts in songs I right where I roll the volume back a lot to clean things up for delays and flanger with big chords and melodic riffs which is why I chose the 59/custom. Clean when I need it and heavy when I need it which the stock 498t was just always a little too aggressive. Just a little though. The 498t was also too focused on mids and highs. I needed a smoother sound for my cleaner parts of songs and less sharp stand out sounds
Absolutely Mincer, I'm always one to try what's in front of me first. (When applicable)
Yes, but it also very gracefully takes mag swaps.
I remember you saying about it really taking well to mag swaps, do think it gets that character more from the Custom coil or the '59 coil?
I just installed it and I gotta say.. holy hell. The harder you pick, the more custom you get out of it. The softer you pick, the more 59 you get. It is incredible
So Id say it gets that character from the custom. Ive been dealing with customs for a while now and A8 mags seem to be the best fit for any and all. 59 is new to me
That's the combination of the two, which, BTW, are the ones they best take mag swaps as pickups: the '59 and the Custom. Nowadays seems like a no-brainer, but in 2004, when forumite Bach2rock made his first hybrids, was kinda black magic from ancient druids!
