Humbuckers vs Single Coils!  

humbucker for bridge, single for neck best of both worlds 🙂

With that much distortion it doesn’t matter at that point. Srat neckpick for me

Personally I prefer single coils all around. All the metalheads hate me for this, but it gives my playing it’s own, lighter tone that I really like

I generally have a preference for single coils because I prefer a cleaner sound.

just best duo ever, they're same dope ass pickups

I love using HSS configuration

Low output pickups are helpful to practice your picking accuracy.

Single coils! They always sound clear bright and articulate. If you want to muffle them a bit you can roll the tone a little. Humbuckers USUALLY have a fuzzy muffled sound to me and you can't add brightnes and clarity with a knob!

Is it just me or does the humbucker sound more single-coily than the actual single coil?

Thanks for actually playing the same thing in the comparisons. It’s astounding how many people don’t. Great video. Trying to make this choice.

Not using the neck pickups (especially strat neck) should be considered a war crime

Single coil, P 90, and mini humbuckers for me

Riffs - Single Coil Leads - Either one Cleans - Humbuckers

Round 1- score 23 Round 2- score 15 Round 3- score 42

Single coil is the sound of heaven, Crystal clear and chime, Humbucker is the sound of hell, muddy as swamp...

that was some thick punchy single coil bridge tone you got

Humbucker all the way, I love dirty clean

Maybe there was more of a noticeable difference back when humbuckers where invented.

Layer both in the studio and then you don’t have to compromise. Blend best aspects of each guitar together. That’s how I roll 😎

Single coils prob. but each have their uses. More articulation with singles but more umpf from dual coil.

The only difference i picked up was the low note on the clean, but on the rest it really didnt matter enough

Tbh, I think humbuckers are more brighter then single coils. Single coils are cool but humbuckers stand out more and have that nicer tone in the guitar itself.

Gone back to single coils. Twang twang twangy jiggly strings goes brrrr

Humbucker para distorsion, y sigle coil para tonos limpios, yo las uso asi

2 Single Coins+1 Humbucker👍

That lick reminded me a lot of Chris Poland

I mostly use SSS and HSS but i prefer clean toned so i like single coils

Why do they sound the same!!!!!

Me and my HSH strat

What single coils are on the Stratocaster?!?!

Hot Rails have entered the chat….

I can see a need for both , if I had to choose 1 , humbucker

None of them are superior than the other. It’s a matter of taste and tone preferences.

Humbuckers for me only because I absolutely can't stand 60 cycle hum lol.

I like and use both humbuckers and single coil pickups in my guitars. Which one I choose at any given time depends on the songl I'm playing and the sound I'm looking for.

single coils noise 😂

Humbucker better for lead

Single coils have a lot more clarity

single coils are knives and humbuckers are hammer. Both is needed to make a house. I think a HSS strat covers all the grounds. Also you can't really beat the clean tone of a Fender

Bro you need to do a fucking tutorial on your amp and tone setup that shit is amazing😂😂😂😂

I have a strat bc I love the 2nd and 4th pickup position. Can't get those tones from a double humbucker.

Humbuckers tend to sound a little more harsher, I’d prefer a HSS typa set up

Both 😁

The faces 😂

Yayyyy no one wins play what you like ❤

I like himbuckers more

That’s why you just get an HSS strat and get the best of both worlds

Huge Strat guy although I have an LP, SG and ES335 clone. Riffs - humbuckers, but leads and clean is the Strat all the way!

The single coil, Strat setup is always better for a clean sound. Humbuckers are best for gain.

What pedals is he using

(Both sound the same) (One hums) We all know the winner.

With enough distortion, I can’t tell the difference.

What was the riff for the clean test?

Single coils

Single

La señal suena muy saturada incluso en el limpio, con esa distorsión tan pesada no se aprecia una gran diferencia

Why did you use a maxed out distortion pedal lmao

humbuckers, i just like the sound better

Today we are comparing an apple with an orange, lets see which one is best at being an apple

Just have 2 guitars

Clean humbucker is more resonant

If you have an AZES40 it doesn’t matter and it’s reaaly affordable as well, only being around 500$

The tone tho , its depend

Just get both🤨

The heavy distortion bits sounded exactly the same

Humbucker

Humbuckers win on distortion but I adore single coil cleans.

Definitely single coils for the win 🥇

Humbuckers have a kind of stadium sound I think. I have humbuckers on my strat but don't mind a single coil.

shouldve compared the necks

what is the music in the first one

Clien amaing Fender

Just give me a Super Strat with coil split. Problem solved

Single coil

Hum Single Tie

single coils

Use the NECK HUMBUCKER BRO

almost makes no difference with a shit ton of compressed distortion

If you close your eyes, it all sounds the same. The only time you can distinguish. The difference is at the very end with the clean.

Humbucker definitely has beefier tones

The answer is Dimarzio.

Didn't sound very clean. I have 21 pickup configurations on my LP, including mixes of humbucker and single, which sounds good. But with enough od they all sound the same

Just get hss strat

P90

Sound exactly the same

Sc

U can neva own 2 many guitars😊

Humbuckers when it comes to clean. Thicker is better. With distortion, everything sounds the same. Single coils just sound a little thinner. That’s it.

What’s with the weird facial expressions

There is no difference

Hate to inform you, but Les Paul pickups are single coil...

Tonteras. Es la misma lesera no mas

Don’t have to watch the video. It’s what sound are you going for? What’s better for it. There is no argument between the two. Your video is moot.

Maybe do it without any tones ?

Смешно)

what's that riff from

Single coils

Single
