Hot pickup with tight, lean low end

[Music&Chaos]

Thanks guys. I was going through a parts box today and found an old Distortion, might try that first.

I haven't heard anything but that Wolfetone in this axe so not sure if that pickup is bottom heavy, the guitar itself is... or a bit of both. Makes tone chasing fun at least.

Please let us know what caps and wiring schematic it is running, could also be contributing.

I have heard elsewhere that a Wolftone has a really thick bottom end, but cannot recall which one.

Swapping with something you know will help reveal if it is the guitar, wiring, or pickup contributing to the excess low end.

I love my 78’

Would you consider the '78 hot & tight?

My two favorites in a Les Paul style guitar have been the Anderson H3 and the Suhr Thornucker+.

Since you want a HOT pickup maybe the Suhr Aldrich??? I don't remember the low end being boomy on that pickup when I played it but it's be a while. That pickup is an A-5.

Curious, why the Custom Custom over the regular Custom?

CC is good for a bright guitar w a floyd, bass can be flubby w the A2. Its too much for a paul…
