Re: A2Pro/CC or Dimarzio VPAF/VHOT PAF's? HELP ME!

How does it work for higher gain type stuff?? I'm not really a VH tone fan and I'm afraid that being lower output it will fall apart under high gain. Well not fall apart...but I had PAF Pro and it was just lacking something when I wanted to jack the gain up....I'm afraid this will be the same way.


Everything else about these pickups sounds awesome...but I'd like something that can at least get as tight/heavy as a JB under high gain for a little chugga-chugga.

This pickup isn't a distortion please keep that in mind, however you can get this pickup to do just about anything (its going to take you eqing your amp and effects). The VVHot is eq'd the opposite of what a jb is (meaing that there is a very slight bump in the midrange, the bottom is almost equal and the highs are rolled back). The JB is wound hotter (I hear it is a distortion with an A5 mag in it, hopefully someone will jump in and clairify that) than the VVHot, but the VVHot is more versital to my ears.

I also had a PAF Pro but didn't get the time to know it well before selling it (anything for money...well most anything). Steve Vai used that pickup on For the Love of God and it was awesome!!
