anyone have raw clips of the WHOLE LOTTAS in a Les Paul/similar

[JeffB]

Times a coming to replace the pickups in my newish Les Paul, and these are on the radar, but finding clips of how they sound without backing tracks/effects/studio magic, etc, is proving tough.

Descriptors I have heard like "slight compression" and "smooth under gain" bother me. I need something a bit raw and that stays reasonably open on the top end (like the Duncan 59s do).

I doubt this will help you if you are looking for hearing the pickups using any kind of gain or dirt, but I did a small test for myself to compare neck pickup and middle position sounds completely clean. This is putting a stock Les Paul Standard with 498/490 against a LP Studio with the Whole Lottas in it. First half of each clip is just the neck pickup, second half is middle/both pickups set at equal volume. At the end of the Whole Lotta clip I strummed a chord in each pickup position.

If you google "youtube whole lotta humbucker" there are several clips up including this one.

I just bought a set for my Epi Sheraton. I was specificaly looking for an "open, raw" pickup somewhat like a 59'. The reviews and feedback (from this forum) lead me to believe the WLH would fill the bill. I'll know shortly.
