Thank you man, I found this video today and went to the store and bought the BC-2 for the bridge. I'm doing a custom partscasterbuild with a scalloped maple neck and alder body. Came from the Dimarzio HS-3 (yngwie) but didn't like them at all. I also an Ibanez RG1570 prestige with Dimarzio Tonezone in the bridge and that is my favourite humbucker ever. I googled the BC-2 and read that Billy tried out the Tonezone and liked it, but wanted something that pushed air more. And then I saw your video and was totally sold! What a Great sound!
@@TexasGuitarist thanks man. I thought about the same thing. I currently have a 250k pot (due to my old dimarzio hs3) but dont like it so I Will change it to 500k.
Wow! That an awesome comment! Thanks for saying that! I love Dimarzio, and these pickups work sooo good together. Coming up next, Steve Morse Pickups with a pull-push knob for single coil sounds!
Thanks man. Amazing video. I came here to hear the Chopper on the neck, but you really sold me on the BC 2. I'm a 90s Smashing Pumpkins fan, so I intentionally stayed away from the BC2 for the longest time because I didn't want to be a fanboy. But wow, hearing you play it, I realized it is exactly what I need. Also, kudos for being super articulate - not too many reviewers on youtube have your power of observation and ability to describe the myriad of sounds. Most of the just say "awesome" and "Cool" a lot. Super helpful review.
Hey bud! Thank You do much for your kind words. It's pickup hunters got to help each other out! And I'm glad you found my video helpful. Let us know how it turned out for you.
Hey brudda...Like so many other people have commented, I been lookin' round for weeks. I completely disregarded the BC 2...cuz it's "Not my Bag"...lol....but I tell ya what....It sounds very nice!....I was ready ta just get rid of middle pickup all together, but I'm a huge fan of PAF's, and hearing the Pro track in middle position...well...that's awesome...Great playing, and thanks again for the vid man...HUGE help.
Thanks bud! I am glad it worked out. Here pretty soon I am going to get another set of pickups for a strat I am putting together. So I should be having some reviews in the next month or so on some more pickups. If you haven't done so, make sure to subscribe, and click on the notification thingy so you could check them out!
Anthony. Those pickup selections are amazing! You have always influenced me into playing the guitar and doing the gym thing. Thank you for introducing me to Yngwie, Symphony X. Got to pick it up again. Grateful for you, my friend.
Awesome sound Brother and Awesome playing, I am glad you did this video because I received by mistake the Billy Corgan dimarzio pickguard with a BC1 in the neck, the Chopper in the middle and the BC2 in the bridge and I didn't know what to expect because like you said is underrated but thanks so much, I have an old Squier made in Japan and is going to rock with this pickguard. BTW, I love your videos, you are an awesome player, once again, Thanks Brother Anthony
@@TexasGuitarist please make a video of those also, BTW, I was so happy on the video that your Dear Daughter ask you to be in the video with you that she wasn't going to bother you, I really believe that she might become an awesome guitarist as well
thanks for the great video....excellent playing, you should be on a world tour! I use Dimarzio stuff in my Strats as well but now you've got me thinking about the BC-2. Been thinking about a Fast Track 1-Chopper-BC2 in that order. thanks again...
The BC-2 sounds awesome. I think I'm gonna put it in the bridge position of my Jeff Beck strat. I gotta have that strat sound in the middle and neck but I'm a metalhead at heart, so that BC-2 is gonna help a lot! Great demo man!!!
That Pro Track + Chopper sounds really good. Thanks for the idea - I was looking for Chopper demos and hadn't even noticed the Pro Track existed! Beautifully relaxed playing too :)
Hey man, thanks for stopping by! Yup, the pro track and the chopper work great together. on another strat that I will eventually put together, I'm going to put the pro track in the neck and the chopper in the middle. The Pro track in the neck really has a nice tone to it. I don't know which one I like better in the neck!
Great demo! I have a 90's G&L Legacy I got last year. I'm wanting to put some Dimarzios in it. I love the Strat sound, but it doesn't have enough punch and output for me. I have the FT1, FT2, and Chopper (if I remember right) in my old Squier. Kudos.
You play AWESOME! I did really like that bridge pickup... I will put it on my G&L soon :) Thanks a lot for the review! And sorry, my english sucks a bit... :P
I was thinking about putting the BC2 in the bridge, Chopper in the middle, and BC1 in the neck of my american standard strat. Have you ever tried the Chopper in the middle position? Also, have you heard the configuration that I mentioned above? I believe that is how the BC Strat was set up. Crazy sick playing by the way!
Sabbra Cadabra Yeah, I used to have the Pro Track in the neck, and the Chopper in the middle as well. I kind of go back and forth between those 2 positions.You can't go wrong either way.
insane playing man, and loving how the chopper and BC 2 are sounding, do you know if the bc 2 sounds good coil tapped? I'm after that really thick tone that the pickup has but I'm curious if i could also still get a strat tone out of it by coil tapping
Matt Wildman Yeah man. I did an Yngwie-tone video and another video with a local musician coming in and trying my setup. I have a push-pull where I turn off one of the coils on reach pickup to get a more single coil sound.
Yeah, it can be a challenge. I'm not very fond of Seymour Duncan. I like the Pro Track is Chopper in the neck. So, me, I would expirement with Satch Track, because it's a Pro Track kind of pickup. But I know I'm biased and can't really answer your question subjectively. Lol.
Fantastic demo of three great pickups, nice work and great playing! I'm looking to match a DiMarzio AT1 Andy Timmons in the bridge, so many nice options, what would you think of a chopper mid and air norton s or bc2 neck? Or a Duncan Cool rails neck/mid ? Really nice tones from the GT100 too, good job :)
Great tone!!! You sold me on the bc I wasn't gonna get it cause I don't like Billy corgan but you sold me man!!!I will be putting them in an alder body squire(great neck though)should I keep the original pots or what???Great bends !!good feel...you have a new subscriber
hey great video! great playing too! i'm thinking to buy the dimarzio chopper for neck and bridge, but then i heard of pro track, then i started to think to put the pro track in the neck and the copper in the bridge, how are they different? thank you! (sorry for my english) salute and rock from argentina!
Great demo and playing !.........I have a Strat with a Super Distortion in the bridge , should I go with a Cruiser ,...Pro Track or shopper for the neck position ? One thing I like is when it has some clarity and fullness ................thanks ! And by the way,..don't understand why 7 morons clicked thumbs down ?
Thank you so much for thecomment! I would go for either a chopper or ProTrac in the neck. The chopper has more of the vintage Yngwie kind of sound, but a little more gain. the pro Trac, I really love the pro Trac. That one has a John Sykes kind of lead sound in the neck position. It's hard to decide which ones better. You asked me the hardest question, because I love them both. In fact I'm building another strat, and I'm putting the pro Track in the neck, just so I can have both of them.
I watched your demo and playing again and I bet thatt if you were a known Star ,....everyone would want your set-up right now !...haha ! I know it's hard to choose from !.............You have awesome feel !! Really appreciate your help and input by the way !.....very generous of you !
Hi, first of all thank you for your video... I need some help, I have a Fender Strat SSS and one Super Distortion S (DP218) and a Pro track (DP188), i need to buy one more mini humbucker from dimarzio and I'm asking you if you can give an advice of which to buy. I'm thinking in Super Distortion S on the bdrige and Pro Track on the Middle, what pickups do you recommend for the neck position? can you tell more than one? what do you think about "the cruiser" pickup on the neck? thanks in advance
It is a high-speed, no load pot that makes it really easy to do volume swells. I bought it online here>>> Seymour Duncan YJM-500 Hi-Speed Volume Electric Guitar Pot 500k www.amazon.com/dp/B006KX3W0G/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_UnfWub0GJE06E
Anthony, hey bro, I am about to buy a new rail for my strat. I have the Andy Timmons loaded pickguard. Basically it's a Dimarzio At-1 in the bridge, and a Dimarzio Cruiser Bridge pickup in the middle and neck. The Cruiser sounds ridiculously good in the middle and the neck. The AT-1 is way to muddy for me. Saw you video, and the guys at Dimarzio said I might like the BC-1 in the bridge with the Cruisers I have, or the pro track in the bridge. BC-2 on your video sounds great. You mentioned having the Pro Track in the bridge before. What was your experience with it in the bridge? Mids? Bite? etc. Have you tried the BC-1? Any help greatly appreciated. I want a fat tone in the bridge, but not muddy or weak.
Hey bud! Thanks so much for stopping by my video. The Pro Track is a great pickup. I really liked it. Its a nice pickup in any position. It had a smoother character than the BC 2, for sure. Not warmer, but smoother. The clean sound I the neck for the pro track is almost jazzy. The lead sound in the neck reminds me of John Sykes lead sound in Whitesnakes "Is This Love". You know, that really lyrical lead tone. The heavy riff sound in the bridge great too, as is the clean sound. Kind of like a modernized Yngwie tone (listen to this video to see what I mean: ruclips.net/video/jtv8GEVWGKE/видео.html ) It sounds more vintage sounding, which I like. The BC 2 is punchier. It's breaks up more for chugging metal riffs. The Pro Track is also brighter, but not ice-pick bright. Listen to this other video of a song i wrote all recorded with the Pro Track: ruclips.net/video/traB_SVItLg/видео.html
Hey man, great playing. What are your thoughts on the BC in a 24" scale guitar (duo sonic) - would it potentially be too bassy? Do you have any experience with the BC-1? Thanks!
Is that Boss GT 100 going through an amp or powering a cab? It sounds absolutely awesome. I'm thinking of getting one of these soon. Also looking at the GT 1000 and the GX series.
@@TexasGuitarist I just got one more question. How many watts is the Sampson PA speaker? I'm assuming it requires an outside power source other than feeding off the GT-100 like a pair of headphones.
Yeah, bud, the Pro Track is one of my all time favorites. I am actually building a guitar and I am thinking about putting all Pro Tracks! Great, great pickup. You can hear the Pro Track in action here>>>> ruclips.net/video/traB_SVItLg/видео.html That song was all Pro Track.
So far as I know BC-2 is a lightly tweaked version of Tone Zone-S which are very popular. I am not sure how they are different really. I have the tone zone S and its less bright but I use 250 k volume pot...
The BC2 is like the Tone Zone S and the BC1 is like the Air Norton S, according to Dimarzio's website. Yeah, and the 250k pot will reduce treble, but also output.
hi, this video really helped me. Can I ask a question to you? If you had dimarzio mojoe in the bridge position, which pickup would you use for neck position to get joe satriani tone? I really can not decide just want to hear your comment. Best regards.
Memduh Nas Hey man! I know from an old video that Satch used the ProTrack in the neck a while back. I have some clips on my channel that have that pickup in the neck. I know Satch has different models out now, but I believe they are all based off the ProTrack. I could be wrong, but go check out DiMarzio's site to verify this. Maybe that will help. Here are the videos I was talking about: ruclips.net/video/traB_SVItLg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/jtv8GEVWGKE/видео.html
Thanks for the detailed answer first, yes his new "satch track" neck pickup is based on Pro Track. On the other hand his new premium ibanez guitar has chopper. I can't find satch track now on the stores so i wanted to buy something very close to it. I think I will buy Pro track. Thx;)
Memduh Nas I'm sure the Satch Models and all the other pro track type of pickups are wonderful, but the truth is I've always loved my ProTrack, and I felt no need to switch to another pick up. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised with how Musical and diverse that pick up is. One of my favorite pickups of all time. As a matter of fact, I'm putting together two different strats. And one of them for sure is going to have a pro track in it, and probably the second one also. I'm also going to put the DiMarzio Steve Morse pickups in one of them. Almost forgot to share this video, this is probably a better video than the other two. It's the same exact amp model and some on this video that you're commenting on, but it was with Pro Tracks in all the positions: ruclips.net/video/aveSr01GKL4/видео.html
I always used a Duncan Hot Rails and a JbJr neck version. Lately I loaded a DP188 ProTrack and it sounded dark and moot. Couldn't stant it.. it was all wired right and read the correct resistance. Does the BC2 and Chopper sound brighter than the ProTrack?
Hey bud. I think they are both dark p-ups. But the BC2 is more defined in the mid-range. I love them both. But the BC2 is better, for me, in the bridge. If you are looking for bright pick-ups in the bridge, these may not be the ones for you. Do you do a lot of high- gain stuff?
I like your tone and playing! Did you triet Pro Track in neck position? Is it too dark and lack of Chopper's bite? I'm looking for neck rail DiMarzio pickup that will perfectly match with my Evo2 in bridge position. I have Heavy Blues 2 in neck at this moment. It sounds great but I hate too noticible output and compression difference. Thinking about Chopper or Pro Track. Which one will you recommend?
Thank you so much for the comment!I actually really like the neck and the bridge when I put the pro tracks in there. It's just a different flavor. Look at my video "Boss GT 100 Bogner Tone". That one has the pro tracks in all the positions. My very first video on this channel is called "A bi ga in Ơi", and that one is the pro track in all the positions. The clean sounds, the distorted sounds, the stratty sounds, everything. Maybe that'll give you a good idea of what the pro track sounds like an all the positions.
Thanks a lot! I watched this vidoe and I liked Pro Track more than Chopper. It has somthing that Chopper misses. I had Chopper long time ago but I didn't liked. This pickup just not for me.
Alexander Kowalski I have a 500K pot in my guitar. I never use a 250k pot. I just prefer the sound with a 500K. and I'm not sure what you mean by "booms". I think that the chopper is a little bit more powerful than your standard Stratocaster pickup. So maybe you're just not used to the sound? You might have to adjust the amp equalizer. But give it a chance. It's quiet, sounds great, and is really versatile. And Powerful.
+TexasGuitarGuy sorry i was asking if you ran all 3 at 500k . volume and tone pots . or did u leave the tone pots 250k and just replaced the volume with a 500k . my chopper does sound very bassy and i currently have 250kmpots.
I think they are all 500. The Chopper can be bassy, but I never thought it was excessively so. Sometimes if your other pickups have less output or just more treble sounding, it can give the impression that the Chopper can be bassy. What are your other pickups on your guitar?
Wolfgang Rocker I got a great tone for you bro. I will do it by the end of the week. There's a reason I haven't posted any videos in awhile, so I need to really come back and hit it like never before.
It’s been like 3 years and I keep coming back to this video every time I think about how to hot rod a Strat. Well done bro!
I am glad it helped!
First off....excellent playing and tone!
You did a fantastic job matching this pickup combination together.
Thanks bud. I'm glad you stopped by and that you enjoyed the vid.
Amazing player tone feel phrasing
Thank you so much!
Thank you man, I found this video today and went to the store and bought the BC-2 for the bridge.
I'm doing a custom partscasterbuild with a scalloped maple neck and alder body. Came from the Dimarzio HS-3 (yngwie) but didn't like them at all.
I also an Ibanez RG1570 prestige with Dimarzio Tonezone in the bridge and that is my favourite humbucker ever. I googled the BC-2 and read that Billy tried out the Tonezone and liked it, but wanted something that pushed air more. And then I saw your video and was totally sold! What a Great sound!
Glad you liked it! Yeah, I love the BC2. I just bought the Steve Morse the bridge and neck humbucker. Wow! Those are great also.
@@TexasGuitarist I forgot to ask, was this with 500k or 250k volume pot?
@@Emiroj This one is 500k. In going to do a 500k/250k push pull on all my guitars soon.
@@TexasGuitarist thanks man. I thought about the same thing. I currently have a 250k pot (due to my old dimarzio hs3) but dont like it so I Will change it to 500k.
Thanks for the reassurance! I just bought one! Great video man!
It's been a long time, but I'm just curious, how did the pickups workout for you?
Great review and demonstration! I wasn't even considering the BC until now. Your playing is outstanding and inspiring!
Thanks for watching and your kind words! Yeah, when I tried the Billy Corgan, I was surprised also.
The more I listen, the more I dig that guitar and how you jam... very cool...
Thanks so much for your kind words. I totally appreciate it!
Great playing. Might pick up a loaded Corgan pickguard. Best demo I've seen of these pups.
Thanks man, I appreciate the comment. Did you ever get pre-loaded pick-guard?
Fantastic tone, you rock!!!!
Clarence Turner Thanks you, buddy.
Very nice playing. Sounds great - those pickups!
Thanks, bud. Yup,I still use them. Be safe out there, man.
Great review, brother. This is the way a pickups should be reviewed!
Thanks bud! I need to make more. I appreciate the comment.
Excellent demo on an under-promoted pickup! Thanks.
best sounding set of strat pickups ive ever heard in 42 years! and you play well too!
Wow! That an awesome comment! Thanks for saying that! I love Dimarzio, and these pickups work sooo good together. Coming up next, Steve Morse Pickups with a pull-push knob for single coil sounds!
TexasGuitarist my man!
Man, even in the middle the Pro Track sounds pretty damn good. I have Chopper bridge and Pro Track neck and they sound awesome. Good stuff man!
Best combination IMO!
Wow, that BC 2 sounds great! I'm sold. Great vid.
mattchurchill Thanks bud, I appreciate it. Yeah, it's a great pickup.
Dude, thanks to you I've just ordered both the BC2 and the Pro Track. That's the sound I was looking for. Thank you!
Daniel de Lucca Hey man! That's great! I really hope you enjoy them as much as I do. :)
Nice guitar. I got the Duncan hot rails with maple fretboard. I like it very much.

Fantastic playing man! What single-sized bridge pickup would you think for a Van Halen Panama/1984 type sound? Thanks dude
what kind of amp are using and is the saturation coming from your amp or pedal? Your tone is awesome!
Thanks bud! It's all from the Boss GT 100, straight into my Samson Auro D415. No amps used.

I need some help, I have a Fender Strat SSS and one Super Distortion S (DP218) and a Pro track (DP188), i need to buy one more mini humbucker from dimarzio and I'm asking you if you can give an advice of which to buy. I'm thinking in Super Distortion S on the bdrige and Pro Track on the Middle, what pickups do you recommend for the neck position? can you tell more than one? what do you think about "the cruiser" pickup on the neck? thanks in advance
Tell me about that yngwie pot..never heard of it
It is a high-speed, no load pot that makes it really easy to do volume swells. I bought it online here>>> Seymour Duncan YJM-500 Hi-Speed Volume Electric Guitar Pot 500k www.amazon.com/dp/B006KX3W0G/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_UnfWub0GJE06E
Anthony, hey bro, I am about to buy a new rail for my strat. I have the Andy Timmons loaded pickguard. Basically it's a Dimarzio At-1 in the bridge, and a Dimarzio Cruiser Bridge pickup in the middle and neck. The Cruiser sounds ridiculously good in the middle and the neck. The AT-1 is way to muddy for me. Saw you video, and the guys at Dimarzio said I might like the BC-1 in the bridge with the Cruisers I have, or the pro track in the bridge. BC-2 on your video sounds great. You mentioned having the Pro Track in the bridge before. What was your experience with it in the bridge? Mids? Bite? etc. Have you tried the BC-1? Any help greatly appreciated. I want a fat tone in the bridge, but not muddy or weak.
Hey bud! Thanks so much for stopping by my video. The Pro Track is a great pickup. I really liked it. Its a nice pickup in any position. It had a smoother character than the BC 2, for sure. Not warmer, but smoother. The clean sound I the neck for the pro track is almost jazzy. The lead sound in the neck reminds me of John Sykes lead sound in Whitesnakes "Is This Love". You know, that really lyrical lead tone. The heavy riff sound in the bridge great too, as is the clean sound. Kind of like a modernized Yngwie tone (listen to this video to see what I mean: ruclips.net/video/jtv8GEVWGKE/видео.html ) It sounds more vintage sounding, which I like. The BC 2 is punchier. It's breaks up more for chugging metal riffs. The Pro Track is also brighter, but not ice-pick bright. Listen to this other video of a song i wrote all recorded with the Pro Track: ruclips.net/video/traB_SVItLg/видео.html
Hey man, great playing. What are your thoughts on the BC in a 24" scale guitar (duo sonic) - would it potentially be too bassy? Do you have any experience with the BC-1?
Thanks!
Is that Boss GT 100 going through an amp or powering a cab? It sounds absolutely awesome. I'm thinking of getting one of these soon. Also looking at the GT 1000 and the GX series.
Thanks man. It's going through A Samson PA speaker.
@@TexasGuitarist Cool! Is it going into a mixing board or just right into the Samson PA?
@@angusorvid8840 this one is straight into the PA. Recorded with my phones camera.
@@TexasGuitarist I just got one more question. How many watts is the Sampson PA speaker? I'm assuming it requires an outside power source other than feeding off the GT-100 like a pair of headphones.
Pro Track sounds the best for my taste.
Yeah, bud, the Pro Track is one of my all time favorites. I am actually building a guitar and I am thinking about putting all Pro Tracks! Great, great pickup.
You can hear the Pro Track in action here>>>> ruclips.net/video/traB_SVItLg/видео.html
That song was all Pro Track.
So far as I know BC-2 is a lightly tweaked version of Tone Zone-S which are very popular. I am not sure how they are different really. I have the tone zone S and its less bright but I use 250 k volume pot...
The BC2 is like the Tone Zone S and the BC1 is like the Air Norton S, according to Dimarzio's website. Yeah, and the 250k pot will reduce treble, but also output.
hi, this video really helped me. Can I ask a question to you? If you had dimarzio mojoe in the bridge position, which pickup would you use for neck position to get joe satriani tone? I really can not decide just want to hear your comment. Best regards.
Memduh Nas Hey man! I know from an old video that Satch used the ProTrack in the neck a while back. I have some clips on my channel that have that pickup in the neck. I know Satch has different models out now, but I believe they are all based off the ProTrack. I could be wrong, but go check out DiMarzio's site to verify this. Maybe that will help. Here are the videos I was talking about:
ruclips.net/video/traB_SVItLg/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/jtv8GEVWGKE/видео.html
Thanks for the detailed answer first, yes his new "satch track" neck pickup is based on Pro Track. On the other hand his new premium ibanez guitar has chopper. I can't find satch track now on the stores so i wanted to buy something very close to it. I think I will buy Pro track. Thx;)
Memduh Nas I'm sure the Satch Models and all the other pro track type of pickups are wonderful, but the truth is I've always loved my ProTrack, and I felt no need to switch to another pick up. I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised with how Musical and diverse that pick up is. One of my favorite pickups of all time. As a matter of fact, I'm putting together two different strats. And one of them for sure is going to have a pro track in it, and probably the second one also. I'm also going to put the DiMarzio Steve Morse pickups in one of them.
Almost forgot to share this video, this is probably a better video than the other two. It's the same exact amp model and some on this video that you're commenting on, but it was with Pro Tracks in all the positions:
ruclips.net/video/aveSr01GKL4/видео.html
Dude, I was very lucky I just called the distributor firm and they said we have Satch Track. I ordered it. I hope I get a good result :)
I always used a Duncan Hot Rails and a JbJr neck version. Lately I loaded a DP188 ProTrack and it sounded dark and moot. Couldn't stant it.. it was all wired right and read the correct resistance. Does the BC2 and Chopper sound brighter than the ProTrack?
Hey bud. I think they are both dark p-ups. But the BC2 is more defined in the mid-range. I love them both. But the BC2 is better, for me, in the bridge.
If you are looking for bright pick-ups in the bridge, these may not be the ones for you.
Do you do a lot of high- gain stuff?
You rule, man!
Thanks, bud!
🦅🔥🌕🔥🦅she's lit🦅🔥🌕🔥🦅
wow dude!!
I like your tone and playing! Did you triet Pro Track in neck position? Is it too dark and lack of Chopper's bite?
I'm looking for neck rail DiMarzio pickup that will perfectly match with my Evo2 in bridge position. I have Heavy Blues 2 in neck at this moment. It sounds great but I hate too noticible output and compression difference. Thinking about Chopper or Pro Track. Which one will you recommend?
Thank you so much for the comment!I actually really like the neck and the bridge when I put the pro tracks in there. It's just a different flavor. Look at my video "Boss GT 100 Bogner Tone". That one has the pro tracks in all the positions. My very first video on this channel is called "A bi ga in Ơi", and that one is the pro track in all the positions. The clean sounds, the distorted sounds, the stratty sounds, everything. Maybe that'll give you a good idea of what the pro track sounds like an all the positions.
Thanks a lot! I watched this vidoe and I liked Pro Track more than Chopper. It has somthing that Chopper misses. I had Chopper long time ago but I didn't liked. This pickup just not for me.
I understand, I will be having the ProTracks in all positions on another strat I am putting together. I can't argue with you, they are great!
Bro，you have big hands！
I guess I do 😂
nice!
i just ordered a Satch track for the neck of my Strat, but this video was cool because I looked at all the pickups in your video.
whats your setting on the gt 100?
Sweet!
Thanks man!
did you leave the tone pots at 250k. I put a chopper in my neck and it's booms. I am going to swap the volume with a 500. did u have the same Issue
Alexander Kowalski I have a 500K pot in my guitar. I never use a 250k pot. I just prefer the sound with a 500K.
and I'm not sure what you mean by "booms". I think that the chopper is a little bit more powerful than your standard Stratocaster pickup. So maybe you're just not used to the sound? You might have to adjust the amp equalizer. But give it a chance. It's quiet, sounds great, and is really versatile. And Powerful.
+TexasGuitarGuy
sorry i was asking if you ran all 3 at 500k . volume and tone pots . or did u
leave the tone pots 250k and just replaced the volume with a 500k . my chopper does sound very bassy and i currently have 250kmpots.
I think they are all 500. The Chopper can be bassy, but I never thought it was excessively so. Sometimes if your other pickups have less output or just more treble sounding, it can give the impression that the Chopper can be bassy. What are your other pickups on your guitar?
cool
Thanks bud.
Good paying!...
Heyy man can u please do more videos of riffs please 😊
Wolfgang Rocker Do you want guitar lessons? Like riff construction?
TexasGuitarist
I wouldn't mind 😉 but id love see can you get that metallica megadeth type sound with the rhythms?
Wolfgang Rocker I got a great tone for you bro. I will do it by the end of the week. There's a reason I haven't posted any videos in awhile, so I need to really come back and hit it like never before.
