Here's a crazy idea

[emilio]

I'm getting a Schecter E-1 FR S with a Sustaniac in the neck and an Apocalypse in the bridge. I'm thinking as the Sustaniac is not really considered a good pickup, leaving it just for the sustain effect. Then I'm thinking of adding a Hotrails in the neck wired in series to the neck position for distortion, and parallel to the middle position for cleans, and leave the bridge position to the bridge pickup in parallel. Think it could be done or am I flying too high?

Isn't the sustainiac supposed to be far from the pickup you use?

Re: Here's a crazy idea

I got this from their page:

"Placing a single-coil pickup next to the driver: This does not work well. The Sustainiac works fine, but the side-by-side permanent magnetic fields of our patented bilateral driver "bend" the field of a single coil pickup. The result is that the sound of three of the strings will have about 6dB lower output level than the other three strings. Same for a humbucker with "stacked" coils. A mini-humbucker with conventional "side-by-side" coils pickup doesn't exhibit this problem as much. In our opinion (and that of most customers), the Sustainiac driver sounds better than most mini-humbuckers. It also has the new dual-sound feature."

Ha! Well, best of luck then!

It sounds like you haven't tried it yet? You may want to give it a chance first given that it still feels experimental
