Re: sd pickups

The amp has much to do with it, I think he means how much the distortion will clean up while rolling up the volume, not rolling off the volume itself. I have a carvin legacy, and it has a "hidden feature" that vai had carvin put in the amp, to clean up well when you turn down the volume. It's no that hidden though since they mention it and how it works in the manual, and yes, it does work nicely.

The jazz cleans up very well as you roll off the volume. It is also a very clear, articulate pup.
