Red Devil OR Hot Stack Plus W/ Custom Stack Plus...?

[Sauce Hound]

I'm replacing the pickups in a 2013 Fender Select Strat I just purchased.
Looking at useing a Custom Stack Plus in the middle and neck positions.
Thinking of trying a Red Devil or Hot Stack Plus in the bridge.
Has anyone tried one of these combinations?
I play progressive blues / Texas blues / classic rock style of music.
I can not find any YouTube videos on the Custom Stack Plus in the middle or neck positions.
And there is not a lot out there on the Red Devil as a bridge pickup being that it is still so new.
One of my other Strats I have set up with Dimarzio Andy Timmons pickup set which I really like.
Looking for similar tone with a little more output, don't want to put a humbucker in the bridge of this Select Strat.
What say you.
Cheers

I'm shocked more people don't have the RD in hand. I myself am STILL waiting for my guitar that is loaded with an RD to come in from a friend several states away who is working on it in his free time (he's doing a massive overhaul including refinishing work). I'm totally anxious about being able to try it out, but until it finally arrives I have no outlet to do so.

Until then, my Little '59 loaded Strat will continue being my favorite as that pickup is just fantastic in the bridge position.

i have a hot stack plus in the bridge with 250k pots and really like it. sounds like fat single coil with a lot of output, great lead tone. havent tried the red devil yet but hopefully will soon.

i havent tried the custom stack plus in the neck or middle but i like the ssl6 in those positions with 500k pots, with 250k they are kinda dark for my tastes but i like brighter vintagy sounds
