Features
:
Passive humbucker, rated at 16.7 on output.
Instrument
:
Its replacing the Dimarzio Evolution, in the Bridge of my Alder Fender Strat. I like the Evolution, but wanted something less bright.
Sound
:
8
To me it sounds like a clearer/smoother Duncan Distortion.
Overall Rating
:
8
Overall, for a cheap pickup, it delivers. I don't have any problems with noise or feedback, and it has a ton of crunch. I like it better then a few pickups I've tried.

APPROX. 15K I WAS NOT INTERESTED IN SPENDING ALOT OF CASH ON A PICKUP REPLACEMENT FOR A SQUIER SET NECK TELE BUT THE POWER SOUND PUPS WERE JUST NOT DOING IT FOR MY EARS SO I TRIED A TONERIDER FIREPOWER IN BOTH NECK AND BRIDGE POSITIONS...WOW IT WORKS FOR BOTH WELL!!! SO I BOUGHT A SECOND AND THEY ARE IN BOTH SLOTS...THIS HAS BECOME MY GO TO AXE FOR MANY THINGS NOW. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A PICKUP COULD CHANGE A GUITAR I CONSIDERED SELLING IN TO ONE I USE REGULARLY? THESE ARE GREAT!!!
Instrument
:
LIKE I STATED PREVIOUSLY THEY ARE IN BOTH POSITIONS AND WORK GREAT! THIS GUITAR HAS COME TO LIFE ...IT DOES THE METAL THING NOW AS WELL AS MY ESP!!! THESE PUPS TOOK A SQUIER TO A JOHN 5 LEVEL ....NO JOKE!!!

THE OUTPUT IS TIGHT AND AS YOU POUR ON THE GAIN IT TIGHTENS UP EVEN MORE!!! WELL MADE PICKUPS...THEY LOOK GREAT IN THE GUITAR TOO...I PLAY THEM THROUGH MODELING STUFF AND TUBE AMPS AND ITS ALL GOOD!!! HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG UNDER FIFTY BUCKS WITH THE POWER THESE HAVE? THEY SLAUGHTER A GIBBY 500T IN ITS TRACKS...EASILY AS LOUD AS A DIRTY FINGERS PUP TOO!!! I HAVE BOTH NAME BRAND PUPS TO DO THE COMPARISON AND THE TONERIDERS HOLD THEIR GROUND WELL...TOE TO TOE EVEN TH WAY THEY LOOK IS ON A PAR WITH THE GIBBY QUALITY. DEFINITELY A GREAT BUY!!!

NOT ONLY WOULD I GET A REPLACEMENT I AM WORKING ON ANOTHER PROJECT AND HAVE ALREADY ORDERED NEW FIREPOWER PUPS FOR IT...I WAS TOLD THEY COME WITH ALLEN HEADS NOW. THAT MAY EVEN IMPROVE THEM...THE ORIGINAL ONES IN THIS REVIEW ARE PAF STYLE WITH SLUG POLES AND SCREW POLES...WE'LL SEE. I BET THEY'LL BE EVEN BETTER AND LOOK LIKE SUPER DISTORTIONS TOO. ALL I CAN SAY IS TRY A SET OF TONERIDERS THEY MAKE MANY FLAVORS....
