Have never heard a good recording/ clip of a HR yet. Also have not seen it used in a band setting yet. I don’t play metal or like modern metal tones. Played a gig Saturday nite with my MC, excellent as always.
Yeah it’s weird how it works. I had a Rg570 and tried different pickups in it…ended up with a Tonezone in it. The basswood body needed the extra bass to balance out the sound of the basswood. Years later a friend had me put one in his LP. It sounded terrible to me, but he liked it.
Any pickup can sound great in one guitar and terrible in another. Just have to find the one that matches up to whatever you have.
Duncan and Dimarzio both have exchange policies.
When the Russia / Ukraine war broke out, Russia stopped the exporting of many items. Tubes were one of them. New Sensor had to move all their manufacturing to Chinese factories. They are still being made in China. Pretty sure it was after 2020, my sense of time eludes me it seems 😄
I used...
I would think those later Tungsols would sound different being made in Chinese factory vs Russian factory. Materials must be somewhat different at the very least. Ruby tubes I never thought sounded as good as just the plain old generic Chinese 12ax7b’s, they must be the same tubes just...
That is good to hear. Hope they are the same. The old ones were really good. As long as they were the 12ax7b’s never had an issue with them. In a vintage amp I might go a different route, but modern amp, no reason to use anything else. Never cared for any of the New Sensor stuff especially...
