That Aldrich pickup, man, I’ve only been playing LP’s for 8-9 months and I’ve only had stock pickups, the EMG’s in my Edwards and the Aldrich in the Orville, I’m contemplating just putting a set of Aldrich’s in the Edward’s because it’s such a fucking badass pickup I don’t even want to try others.
 
He's rockin Blackstar now.. They have a deal with them and have been on out on the road. I witnesses this with me own eyes laddies! Classic boosted Marshall style amp is his tone. And his majik box secret now discontinued pedal.

My friend who put the Aldrich in my guitar told me he couldn't stop playing it after he installed the pickup. It's one of My Top 5 favorite humbuckers. You're off a great start using that pickup, and you've obviously got good ears!
 
Bogner or DSL?
That Marshall is a 1985 or 86 JCM 800 2210/05. You can tell those years by the faded black to brown cloth.

Bogner is the only one being used, however....

Very specific to the guitar though. I have one in my explorer and I dig it but it is more nasal than when it was in an alder body strat type. Odd but it is what it is.
 
He's one of those consistently good players that just needs a marshall or similar backline and he brings his own outboard stuff. He always sounds like him.

Because? Tone...

Yeah, definitely.

Mine is in an '87 Kramer F-3000 with a maple body. (NOT the Focus 3000) It's perfect in that guitar. I'm going to yank it out to test it in my Les Paul and see if I like it there. If it's got the goods, then I'll buy another Aldrich.
