A Joyous Noise for the Neighbours & Family at the moment Dave!, the very low .7k output from this Pup, means I can only get a clean sound out of it through my Amps, and can't get it to growl at the moment, however I will be experimenting with some of my Pedals, such as a Compressor or Booster etc. :-D
