Seymour Duncan Hot Stack Tele. Moderate sounds an twang

[Peter Krasov]

Hello
It is written on the official site, that Hot Stack Tele is made for hard and distorted sounds. But is it good at clean channel or at crunch? Does it reproduce traditional tele twang or this pickup has strictly humbucking tone?

The Tele Hot Stack is a bit warmer and has more output than traditional Tele bridge models but it still has the typical Tele twang thing going on. It hits the front end of the amp a bit harder so under gain it sounds tighter than vintage tele as well.

Because it is a stacked humbucker the tone is very single coil sounding. It does not have a "humbucker" type of tone at all.

I had a Hot Stack bridge and a Vintage Stack neck in a Tele for a couple of years and aboslutely loved the tone and response I got from them.

bump

and

ON the SD sound samples, the Vintage Stack STK-T3B bridge Dirty sounds livelier than the Hot Stack,
but
for those of you using them live/loud, does this Vintage stack liveliness (on recording) actually come out as pain and agony at big volume?.
And the smoother Hot Stack comes out better live/loud?
thanks
