Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!
That sounds pretty bright and round. I like it. What's it sound like with more gain?

Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!
If you listen to the "It Was Only Yesterday SOLO" file, you'll hear the clean phrases through a blackface and the gainy ones through a Plexi. The "gainy" ones sound "flutey", but defined.
More gain would've just made'em "mush-out" and lose the definition. Also, as it sustains for days with a next-to-nothing amount of gain, I don't see the point of wanting more.
If you're looking for a Gary Moore "Still have the blues for you" kinda tone, this just *NOT* the right p'up for it. It's way too fat for that, if you ask me.
However... now that I think of it, if you have a Triple Shot set, setting the Hy-Bro neck in parallel, it would do a lot more gain without losing that much definition so it becomes unusable, although you'll have to revise the whole amp setting for that.
I did not document this p'up set in the "parallel" setting. I'd never even thought about it, TBH. All I can say is that, in a nutshell, is like having a completely different instrument at the flick of four switches. And now that I have a Triple Shot set, I can better see the utility of having it!
Maybe I'll have a go at it later on, time and life permitting, of course!
HTH,
Great Cleanish sound, now I can't wait to hear it with some more dirt
It's a NECK p'up, guys.

Never stopped me (or John Sykes) before
Now I want to try it through an AIAB even more.

Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!
Thank you for the nice words, guys.
And yes, the Hy-Bro is a warm p'up. And it loves somewhat hi-SPL levels!

Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!
I'd be surprised if this didn't become part of the regular SD line-up. Surprised it wasn't already for that matter. It doesn't come across as especially warm to my ears, though that might be my ears being used to my having [what I'd guess to being] a warm setup.
Glad you finally got to get it all done Pepe

Now to rob a bank to buy one... LOL
Listening to your clips I think the pickup could actually take a little more gain. It might be fat but it has a present top end which would maintain the clarity of it. I do also tend to keep my distortion tones on the fat but bright end of the spectrum, so I think that it would actually work very well for me.It's a NECK p'up, guys.

Forgive me, Pepe, I'm just a metal guy at heart and I'm always looking for a neat lead tone from my neck

Re: the Hy-Bro neck is in!
You just gotta find the right settings in your amp. It just was *not* on that day's "to-do" list.
Also, hi-gain tone needs a special skill set that I don't consider myself to possess any of it, if you know what I mean.
Nothing to forgive, it's a valid question to ask. Don't get me wrong: it CAN be done.Forgive me, Pepe, I'm just a metal guy at heart and I'm always looking for a neat lead tone from my neck
