I am never going big production with these-it has to remain manageable and enjoyable to do. BUGGY (C) October 14, 2014 at 7:31pm Sounds great..can ya ship to the UK? Diglydog October 14, 2014 at 2:01pm That's a great looking and sounding pickup, Wade. I hope that the venture is a success for you and that your research and hard work is rewarded :-) Uncle John October 14, 2014 at 7:55am Thanks, Wade. Wade October 13, 2014 at 10:35pm Hey Uncle John, I am far from an expert, but I've learned 3 things when I trying to get the best sound: 1 - Turn the guitar volume and tone just about all the way up 2- Turn off all effects and distortion - then add them gradually 3- Most of the time - less is more!!! The settings on my amp was distortion with the gain turned up about halfway and just a little bit of reverb. I also added a little treble since I was playing mostly out of the neck pickup. Hope this helps! Wade Uncle John October 13, 2014 at 10:13pm Love the look of that foil pickup. Like the variety of sounds from clean to dirty. Neat to hear and see you play too. Hey, teach me something. I have a Cube amp too. How did you get that last dirty sound? the anonymous pick October 13, 2014 at 7:43pm yum a doodle This reply was deleted.
