I never break out a ruler and measure where my pups are. I eyeball it and then tweak them according to my ear. That's what you should probably do, because everyone on here is going to have a different opinion on what sounds good.

I'd say that measuring for a starting point, and then adjusting to find the sweet spot might save some time. Though I suppose that can be done by "eye ball" once you get a general sense of your starting point because you have done it quite a few times before.

Re: Black winter height?
I followed what the blog said originally and got it roughly to where it sounded pretty bad ass but then I adjusted it according to a blog post by Adam and he said something like the closer the pups are to the strings the brighter the sound in general. But it made mine sound pretty muffled only at 50% gain on the cube. I just wanted to see what other people had theirs at just to compare lol I currently have the neck set roughly 2mm above the ring and right about 4 or 5mm from the strings on the bridge. How are you rocking yours? Rough estimates, you don't have to break out a ruler lol
Oh trust me I've read just about every SD blog lol and they are ultimately what got me here

Re: Black winter height?
I set it wherever it sounds best. You should too….
Too close = dead strings
Too far = too low input.
Start with whatever is "spec" for your guitar and season to taste. This takes a LOT of back and forth and tweaking with a screwdriver, play/listen, rinse and repeat. You CAN'T read about the right setting!!!!

I start with distortion cause that's what I play the most of. When I find it I double check on clean to make sure the bass side isn't over powering the treble side and vice verse.
