And Nazgul too.

The TU3's buffer actually clips with any pickup mid output and up too. Man, what fucking poorly designed pedal, LOL.

The tone is cool! But man... this song... :rolleyes:

I used to really like them. Back around 2018, I think, they changed something in the preamp. I got a new EMG 57/66 around 2020 which was horrible. Thin and scratchy. I sold it, and I bought a used scratched up 57/66 from 2017 which sounded killer. The way they were supposed to, I guess. I hate...

I like Duncans overall better than DiMarzios, but both make pickups that I like. That being said, though, I feel DiMarzio has more variety when it comes to neck pickups. From the Duncan HB line, it seems like 80-90% of the neck pickup options are sorta 7.5K-ish Alnico and that's it. Very few...

It's not like I want to defend that that bitter old fart, but people expect him to move on, yet keep asking him questions about the Metallica thing.

I suppose you could get a similar punch if you ran 1M volume and tone pots for the same load as a single 500K pot. But I have no idea functionally if the taper would feel different or what.

I personally prefer not having a tone knob and if I need to tame a pickup a bit, I just run a single 250K volume or, if it's too much, a 1M resistor in parallel with a 500K volume. But I find myself more often running pickups on single 500K or occasionally 1M volumes. It's cool, but honestly...

I actually ran mine with a single 500K volume. It came in my guitar (Les Paul Modern Lite). At first, I thought it was alright through a 500K volume and tone, but then I started comparing it to my other guitars which I run single 500K or even 1M volume pots, no tone, and I thought it was kinda...

I like both, personally. I do find the 498T has a "broader" freq response than the JB which is basically as mid-forward as a passive gets. But the 498T, like you said, is not low-output either, but it's not as hot as the JB.

I love the 498T, but I don't think it's got a PAF vibe at all. To me, it comes across more like an underwound JB. Kinda very mid-forward and relatively hot, but not as mid-forward and hot as a JB.

For me: At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul In Flames - Whoracle Carcass - Heartwork Cradle of Filth - Midian Opeth - Blackwater Park Killswitch Engage - Alive or Just Breathing As I Lay Dying - Shadows Are Security Sylosis - Edge of the Earth The Haunted - Revolver Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical...

I really like my satin-finished Gibsons. They feel great, they look cool, they wear interestingly, and they have cool something going on in the sound which I'm not sure is caused by the finish, but they both have it, so I guess it is? I have a Tribute and a Modern Lite, and I love both. I reach...

Didn't like the tones, personally. Sounded small. Kinda like a really nice head, but run into a 1x8 cab.

If you ask them, the deny it... which I think is ridiculous given all the evidence there is.
