I've used Distortions, JBs, Customs, Full Shreds, etc. The Distortion is great if you're going for an aggressive, ceramic pickup that cuts through and is tight as well. I started using it after using JBs for a couple years. It requires very different amp settings than a JB. It's a very mean sounding pickup. You can use it on lower gain settings as well and it will sound great. It's not a one trick pony. But if you throw out the gain it can handle it very well. It doesn't fall apart.
Thanks for the review Miike. I am wondering how the Pegasus /Sentient Set compares to the Alpha/Omega set for split coil clean ambient type tones as well as with gain for both neck and bridge Humbuckers? Cheers
So ...do you sell the pickups you don't use/keep?? If so ....where??? I would love to pick up some tested pickups and maybe even a little discount tfrom brand new!!????..lol
60 Bridge Pickups?!?! Kudos to you! I have to say that the differences when listening to the distortion samples is very minor. Apply a bit of EQ to the mix and you can make them sound like you want. Great comparison none the less. I really enjoyed listening to the subtle differences. Check out Peripheries latest album. They have released two videos and they are a good starting point.
Thanks Michael, yeah I agree, distortion is the great equalizer! I still find these pups to be a great starting point for ambient/metal-sounds! They have a great balance to them, which makes finding a cool sound easy! Thanks for the tip with the latest Periphery album, that's the one called "V-Djent is not a genre", right?
