Double thick magnets: effect on dynamics?

[WDeeGee]

Putting a double thick magnet in a humbucker would of course increase it's volume output.

But how is dynamics affected? More or less compression?

What about tone? EQ? More highs? More bottom?

Thx.

More lows and a fatter, deeper feel. I love em.

How are dynamics affected? Less compressed I would reason?

Re: Double thick magnets: effect on dynamics?

Higher output's effect on dynamics will depend on the amp. If there isn't a lot of headroom, higher output means more compression, less dynamics. Which is one of the arguments for relatively low output PAFs--though for many, the right overwound PAF is the holy grail.

If your amp has a lot of headroom, higher output pickups can be punchier, and can feel more dynamic, since you can reach into more distortion, and back off into less more easily.

Thanks, bud.
