Oh My God... 57.4K???!!!!

Re: Oh My God... 57.4K???!!!!

Thats an "active" pickup. I wonder if someone just threw a meter across it and measured across an output IC or something. :D
 
Re: Oh My God... 57.4K???!!!!

I have seen a number of their pickups on ebay. They all sound insanely powerfull.

The Super 3 I have in my Agile is a passive pickup, and it reads just over 24K :laugh2:
 
Re: Oh My God... 57.4K???!!!!

the sound sample sounds pretty cool, but honestly, who would need anything CLOSE to that powerful?
 
Re: Oh My God... 57.4K???!!!!

I'd love to see someone plug one of those in, roll the guitar volume up to 10, switch to the drive channel, and roll down amp volume on that channel. Play hard, then switch to clean :laugh2:

*BOOM*

I wasn't aware that you could test the resistance of an active pickup...at least, with EMG's or duncan livewires.

Hmm :scratchch

Good lord.... That honestly cannot be right, it has to be a typo. That reminds of the "Killing the first 5 rows of the audience" Thing in a thread a while back, I forget what it was about.

I am of the same opinion.
 
Re: Oh My God... 57.4K???!!!!

Interesting find.... I think someone else posted a thread about the same pickup.. It almost seems like overkill, but I wonder how it would sound through a good tube amp... only for REAL metal heads I would think. :headbang:
 
Re: Oh My God... 57.4K???!!!!

Lol, I posted the past thread about that pup =D Didnt buy it though..... I'll get one of their single coils as a cheap replacement later. Supposedly, all actives are supposed to have rediculous outputs when measured with a multimeter. these don't seem to be an exception....

go super3 with 20+k output! mine is in a 100% maple ibanez =D
 
Re: Oh My God... 57.4K???!!!!

Being that hot you might need to go with a lower gain preamp tube to make the distortion more useable.

I bet that would kill with my Road King! (Or the fuzz at full presence would kill eardrums! ;)

Maybe I should buy two to throw in something. Not much cash...

Yeah, I think mine is like 24.5k :laugh2: It's a killer pickup for high-gain - has the most killer chunk I've ever heard :13:
