To all SH6/TB6 DISTORTION users....

... to all of you R'nR dudes and headbangers!

I want to know what you think of the Distortion in overdrive/classic rock applications.

Also, some say it sounds too compressed... and/or too dark...:scratchch

I'm currently buying one for my new Strat...affectionately called "StratEater"... :smokin:

I like mine Mal, just slapped a full set in a LP Classic i just acquired. I like 'em alot. I don't find them very compressed at all. Mine clean up well, both bridge & neck, with a little rolldown. I have some Strats, but they're all S/S/S. I do have a Hot Rails in one of them & I love it. If you've ever heard a HR in a Strat, then I would say the DD is a little more open and a little more gritty, IMO. The HR seems a little darker to me even though it's in an alder Strat compared to a mohogany Les Paul. Therefore, I leave you with my meager observations and hope you take away something useful. Good luck.

Peace,

Darrin

My charvel with a distortion bridge just arrived the other day. It's definitely not dark. I don't know why anyone would say that. It's bright, but I like it. Great for raw distorted rock, just like its description says. It still has it's individual sounds with different notes though and doesn't sound like a mixed mess of distortion. I havn't had quite enough time to fully make a judgement yet.

my DD kills. i dont see anything wrong with it at all. i dont really know if its compressed or not (all i have to compare with is an invader), but whichever it is then thats what i like. its perfect for all my metal needs. i definately dont think its too dark, actually for a while i wanted some more bass to it, but recently its been just right.

Compressed? Nah, it's in your face!

Tight lows, bright highs, scooped mids. If you need more mids, raise the middle poles. It's a metal pickup, no question.

I actually like my PA-TB6 better than my Regular TB6 it sounds more crisp.
