Steve's SpecialTM
DP161 & F
The Steve's Special is a non-traditional
approach to high-output bridge humbucking pickup design. Most
hot humbuckers concentrate the pickups power in a narrow frequency
range for maximum impact. The Special spreads the sound over a
broader range so bass and treble tones are boosted, and midrange
is lowered. The result is a sound that's hot, clean and open at
the same time.
Recommended For:
Bridge position.
Tech Talk:
Clean overdrive with high-gain amps. Very
effective in dual sound and coil splitting clean modes. For soloing,
this is a very good pickup to play with a midrange-heavy amp:
the mid-scoop in the pickups' sound keeps the initial pick attack
clean, and the notes don't run together as much with legato playing,
even with heavy overdrive.
Specifications:
Wiring Standard four conductor
Magnet Ceramic
Output 390mV
DC Resistance 17.89K
