No Opinion
Perceived output level: so hot my guitar caught on fire, total nuclear meltdown
Tone: very MIDI (haha, middy) w/ lots of screaming highs that will give all the girls hot pants five miles away hotcha.
Sonic evaluation: I am using my custom satana PRS SG guitar, through a Boogie MK 4 thats been modified to solid state. outputs 750 pure solid state watts
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: metal, jazz, new age, classical

Sound

No Opinion
Perceived output level: very high output, about double the super distortion
Tone: biting highs, with lots of mids and spongy lows...sounds like a half-cocked wah pedal
Sonic evaluation: i'm using a heavily modified gibson sg through a stereo amp setup featuring two marshall plexi heads(modified to be solid-state, output boosted to 500 watts) running through carvin 1x4, 4x8, 2x10, 2x12, 1x15 and 2x18 cabinets. the sound is large and perverse!
For which styles and positions is this pickup (un)suitable: suitable for all positions, but sounds best in bridge or middle

Comments: the most amazing lead pickup....you can smell the solos from 10 miles away! if you play loud, this pickup is for you. do away with your wah pedal, cuz this pickup has more midrange than the catholic church!
