(unless anybody knows what the 'special amp mods' Dick Kunc did to the amps they used.)įYI the combination of Blue Sensor in series with a normal humbucker is loud! You get a massive boost in volume compared to just the humbucker or having them in parallel.

The neck pickup and Tele 4-way switch will provide the 'grunt' when I need it! You know the thin trebly guitar tone on Trout Mask Replica? I want to get close to that by rolling the bass off the amplifier tone controls. If I get the Gold Sensor then one of the Dually Sensors will go in there.Īny other decent noiseless option for the Strat bridge position?

The neck pickup is currently a decent cheap humbucker. It is a nice pickup but closer to a P90 in sound. The word is that Lace use a Blue Sensor pickup for their Tele Bridge pickup, so a Blue Sensor should do nicely then! I also have a vox ac15 vr amp that I use and when I switch pickups theres only a very subtle difference in tone. I bought a 2011 fender American standard strat Hss model. Just as a follow-up, I plugged in the VG Strat tonight to a Vox AC15 with a Crowther HotCake pedal. M new to this panel or forum or whatever its called.
VOX AC15 SINGLE COIL VS HUMBUCKER MOD
The auto split mod splits the humbucker in half and combines it with the middle in that 4th notch position. I suppose Warmoth routed for a Strat bridge pickup to avoid covering up that nice flame maple with a big lump of Tele bridge. Otherwise the bride humbucker will overpower the single coil middle PU, which has lower output by default of it being single coil. Combining the AC15’s prominent midrange with the extended bass. We tried the AC15 with a variety of single- coil and humbucking guitars, including our regular Duncan APS1-loaded Strat and a Les Paul loaded with Duncan PAF-alikes. Fender, Gibson, Martin, Taylor, Epiphone, Tags: MXR, Xotic, Coldcraft Effects, Caroline Kilobyte, Zvex, Voodoo Labs, Boss, Line. The G12C gives the AC15 a more ‘boutique’ vibe that sits comfortably alongside other EL84-powered US exotica. I bought that very beautiful blue Thinline Tele body a couple of months ago. This bass is hand made and one of a kind.
