Now that you have the SSL-5 installed in the bridge position, would you say the sound samples on the Seymour Duncan site are a good representation?

Well... that is a tricky question to answer because the amp (or a modeler if you use one) also affects the tone a great deal as does the way you play and the guitar. I'd say that they are a decent representation but you have to consider that the pickup itself is only part of the tone you are hearing on their website. I like the SD sound samples because they don't use a lot of effects (i.e., unlike Dimarzio) but if you can I suggest checking youtube for a more diverse sampling of what the pickup can achieve.

The new sound is amazing. I´ve been using the guitar plugged into a BOSS ME-25 and the sound is very good, I hope that in a normal Stompbox (ex. Big Muff) it will be better. If I´ll buy a new strato next years for sure I will replace the bridge pick up for another SSL 5

I do not know , it depends on what set up you are using. I use all fender amps on a clean channels and then us pedals for the sound I want. I know I can get a David gilmour sound and a deep chugging sound great for heavy metal. I am still exploring this pick up, but it is the best single coil I have ever used in the bridge.

Hello Richard, Sorry for the delay in responding - I was not home. I have two Weissenborn lap steels. One has a Sunrise and the other has a Seymour Duncan Mag Lite pickup. I can use them both in the Loudbox without a preamp. Although sometime I use a Fishman or old Rane preamp if I want to shape the sound to suit my needs. I hope this help. John.

I installed My on a Gibson Les Paul and it is the very same as the standard bridge. I use .09 to .46 Ernie Ball Cobalt strings and they work just fine. You will have to make the post a little larger than the stock but that's eazy enough to do. That's about all, I've had NO Problems at all. Hope this helps.

Sure you could use it that way, people have, but I would drive down to the shop to test it out with your gear first. Bass frequencies are different and you would probably want to try a few options as far as a wah.

Yes, but I still had to take it to a luthier. They made some adjustments on the bridge and got it sounding great.

My acoustic sounds great through the box. You can add chorus, delay, reverb, phlanger, etc..., and there's even a 12-string setting.

i am going to to give you my onest opinon about this amp i ran it on two 12s inch rockford fosgates wired down to 4 ohms bridged and it did pretty good for a $60 amp made by pyramid.ok if you decide to use 15s i would sugest you go with the four ch model the pb618 that way you can run it bridged a 15 on the front ch and a 15 on the rear ch that should keep it from over heating and to get the most out of this amp get the xover model no CR73 G and it will work those 15s pretty good but for the 15s i would go ahead and get the pyramid pb 3818 that will get the job done and its only $80 i have two pb 3818 strapped to two 15 pw1586 x and i be setting off alarms 100 feet away check out some of my vidios on you tube the set up is 90% pyramid my ch is masterblaster735 check it out so far i have got noting but thumbs up i hope this help you make the right decision

I wrote a review for them after buying 2 of them. match them with the SSL 4000.1 EVO amp and wire correctly... 4ohm and they will blow yer window seals out. if you try to wire down to 2ohm you WILL fry the VC's. 4Ohm is perfect and the 4000.1 EVO amp matches up perfect. just run them in series at 4Ohm and you will not be disappointed brother.

Hi Patrick, I do believe so. It's an amazingly smooth sub and I haven't even broken it in yet. I'm running Klipsch Legend fronts and Klipsch surrounds for 5. 1 and honestly couldn't imagine needing much more than what this sub provides...especially for the price. It blows my 12" JBL out of the water!

I'm using a Sonos amp. Making this an outside zone on my Sonos system. It sounds great.

I have not finished on my project yet, the shipment came from Germany with the store's web address on the envelope, I don't know how they sound, but I compare them with a set of dragonfire from guitarpartsonline.com or a set from guitarfetish.com I bet they should sound good, Wilkinson is a good brand from England, I have a Wilkinson tremolo in my Carvin, I was thinking that they are cheap because they are built in China, but like I said the shipment came from Germany, I have to finish my project and check them out, the tremolo in my Carvin cost $150, but that's an original U.S. Wilkinson tremolo, I don't know about the pickups, I got these because the brand + the economical prize. Lace is a good brand too! Both are great if they are original, some Fender Jaguars uses Lace

I am using an ssl ev4000 watt amp on mine, and at 2 ohms it's getting barely enough power to make the coil start to smell after probably 20 minutes of hard consistent low notes. I haven't had any problems with it yet and it is pretty cheap. Otherwise planet audio amps are decent quality for a cheap price

Hey Patrick. I have the THR5, which has the same sounds as the 10 but a few less features. I play a lot of classic rock and late 80's stuff too and I think the tones are great. I haven't tried the THR10x but from what I read it's geared more towards the metal crowd. For classic rock tones, I find the THR5's and 10's have more than enough gain. I was really impressed with how responsive it is to pinch harmonics and feedback. Get some really cool early ZZ Top and even GNR tones on it. The effects are awesome too. The tremelo and flange are pretty authentic. If you're not really bothered about saving patches or having an extra control for aux-in volume, you can save even more bucks and get the THR5. My ONLY complaint is with the whole range, and it's a very small complaint... the power switch is actually plastic. Mine's snapped off after I clipped it with my headstock. Still works though. Anyway, hope that helps. These things definitely make practice more convenient without sacrificing tone.

I believe so, but upgrade the tubes for sure, you'll notice better bass detail than the stock tubes. I also highly recommend a DAC between your audio source and the Vallhalla, as this will provide even greater clarity. 24bit/ 192k should be perfect. There are a ton of DAC's out there & the Schiit one is good. I personally switched from the Vallhalla to The Passport (includes DAC w the amp) and love it.

I've done it but its really glitchy and unnatural sounding. Helicon makes a good, inexpensive harmonizer. I picked one up used for 60 bucks at Guitar Center.

I have only had the guitar for a couple months. So far, I am very pleased with it. Sounds nice for a small guitar and stays in tune. I read the review about the bridge breaking. I also read that if you take care of it you can alleviate a lot of the issues. I keep, it in the travel case when I am not playing it. Helps with the humidity issues. I know a couple guys who have had a Baby Taylor and were happy with it. To be honest, the only thing I have heard about the bridge breaking is one review online. I don't see that as a trend.
