The Pickups Thread

[la szum]

Didn't you have a Wolfetone Marshallhead @Jarick ?

You try it by chance in an HSS Strat style guitar?? I have one
I am thinking of dropping in my Aerodyne, and we seem to have
similar tastes/preferences in Pickups and their relative heat levels.

Thanks! If not, my memory failed me.

You happen to see my Wolfetone Marshallhead question, @Jarick ?

• Gretsch G5420T - Blacktop Filtertrons - these are my only exposure to Filtertons and are an acquired taste. Once I was able to pair them with 5E3 and Vox circuits, it finally made sense.

The Blacktops also do well in a Marshall style circuit IME. They’re great for rock/hard rock tones. Definitely get some Malcolm vibes easily with mine. Add some chorus and delay and I get into Love era Cult tones. I’ve got a G5422TG and it’s excellent for those tones and sounds. Of course they sound outstanding with my Vibrolux too.

I haven’t tried it in an HSS but it should be good there. It’s a hotter paf and pretty open with good harmonics as it’s not potted.

I still haven’t installed the EMG Rev set I bought.

I did a shootout in my PRS CU24 with the Wolf DrVintage/Marshallhead vs Thornbucker/+ and the Thorns won. Wolf does make some nice pickups though and is a cool cat.

Got my Riff Raffs installed today! I really dig these pickups so far. Didn’t get to take them up to high volume today but they sound great so far. Really like these much more than the 490R/T pickups.
