That "tone" was nothing but the amp. Minor different at best. The sounded amazeballs though!

I don’t play this heavy of music, but I’m very happy that you made a video highlighting how the P-Rails sound for metal. I’ve been strongly considering a single pickup build, and I wanted to see how they do with hi gain. They sound great...

@GaryHiebner

Yeah they sound pretty good for hi gain. Also very cool for clean stuff. But didnt really demo this in the video cos I dont play cleans that much

I like the really open heavy tone of the single rail it makes the sound super full with nice voiced middle range without losing the punch in the low end and nice balanced highs that aren’t too bright

Parallel mode is really interesting. I might have to get some of these!

I have a set of P-rails in my SZ202. Love the versatility!

Love my single bridge wired at the moment with it as series and the P-90 in my Dean Z.. But going to add the parallel and the rail this week.

Good video. You are one person on youtube who actually uses the guitar for rhythm in a truly helpful way for listeners: moderate tempo, plenty of palm muting or heavy picking on low strings. Strange that others can't figure this out!

Thanks for doing this Demo one of the best I¨ve seen, how do you rate the bass, mids and high on series wiring, it s seems to be big sounding pickup with some sweet highs? I am looking for a pick up for a swamp ash bodie that tends to sound thin.

Your riffs are awesome dude

I was unsure if it would be worth it to just get the bridge PU, since I cant afford to get the whole set as well as either triple shot ring or a second push pull pot, at least not all at once, but this made it very clear, I'm a rythym gtr player in a punk band so the neck PU is not used a whole lot by me anyway, I am curious to hear what it would sound like to run the p rail in series and a humbucker in the neck, when they were in the middle position with both on. I have the magnet in my LP humbucker flipped so its out of phase, gives it that snappy, sound like Gillmore used on "Another Brick in the Wall", so im extra curious to see how that combo sounds in addition to the standard hum on neck with this p-rail on bidge. Maybe if no one else does, ill make a video after I get my bridge p-rail and explore how it synchs up with an out of phase neck hum and with an in phase neck hum.

Parallel!... and single rail too

I like how your video says “the most versatile pickup ever” then through out your entire video you play nothing but high gain metal

Awesome. Enjoy your guitar build. Fender Meteoras are awesome. That with P-Rails would be awesome.

I like them a lot

I have one in the neck with a Bill Lawrence Wylde L500XL in the bridge. It doesn't distort as much as the L500XL but when used together adds that low midrange girth while taking a little distortion away. Worth the trade off. I like all the rails engaged. Single coil w humber

@GaryHiebner

11 ай бұрын

Cool. That's an interesting combination

Are you able to set it up in a way you can have for instance the neck with a hot rail and the bridge with a p90 etc. Or can you only change pickup modes for both of them? Also was it relatively straight forward with the set up with the electronics? Great video, didn't know I needed these in my life but now they're all I want

@GaryHiebner

2 жыл бұрын

With the eay I've got it set up with push pots you can only change the mode of both pickups. But you look into the SD Triple Mount Ring Mounts for the P-Rails which have dipswitches on them so you can change each pickup independently. Plus they give you a ton of other different options. But I opted for push pots because heard mixed review on the quality of the Triple mount ring mounts.

@nvmbrsdoom5

As Gary mentioned, using the Triple Shot Mounting Rings will get you more switching options with the P-Rails pickups. I've used them for a while now and never had any issue with them in terms of being questionable quality or anything, they've worked great for me and were relatively easy to install. If you're looking to have an instrument that offers a wide variety of tones, the P-Rails with the Triple Shot rings is worth looking into. Cheers.

I need this

Looking at that, it's F-spaced humbucker size of I am correct? I am interested in one of these for the neck position on my Pacifica 611 but the neck pickup is a traditionally sized P90 so I'd need to check out the body cavity and order a replacement scratchplate.

@GaryHiebner

Yes, that is correct. The bridge is F-Spaced. But don't think neck pickups are F-Spaced? isn't it only the bridge that is F-Spaced? They great pickups. I really like the versatility of them.

Yeah there is a slight bit of the usual single coil noise. So a noise gate will definitely help. Especially with hi gain.

I too don't have much experience with the Bentbuckers but I've heard good stuff. However I have a friend with a baritone that has the P-Rails in there and his tone is amazing. He plays mostly prog, shoegaze and some alt-rock type of stuff with it and his tones are stellar.

This is the video I’ve been searching for!

I have mine installed, so the Rails are supposed to have a notably higher output than the P90s? I hear that on mine and somewhat on your video.

Play clean tones to hear true sounds.

Once you reach that level of distortion (disruption of the original tone and harmonic content), it really doesn't matter what pickups are used. Or what guitar, for that matter. Well, guitar - yes - for play/feel/touch. But for tone, there is none left once the square wave and compression have long-since squashed any discernible nuance. Regardless of what one plays every day, to demonstrate subtle tonal differences and sensitivities, clean to light overdrive is the only fair way to judge any detail or subtlety. I'm not knocking high-gain. Just that its point isn't about tonal breath and warmth/brightness, you just want as much output as you can get since any real sense of tone is long gone. 🙂
