I have an EVH Frankie Relic that I love, but it sounded about as VH as playing a Les Paul.
It was thick, boomy, mushy etc.
I wasn't sure but I thought it was probably the Wolfgang PU as it was super high output.
I asked around online & decided on the Jalen Origin to try & get a more authentic early VH tone.
I finally installed it in my Frankie Relic & it has totally transformed the tone.
It's no longer mushy, boomy, inarticulate etc.
The Origin sounds warm, but crisp, evenly EQed & just waaaayyyy more Van Haleny than the Wolfgang.
I just love this PU soooooo much. Easily one of the top 3 PUs of I have ever bought. Someone got it right!!!!!!
Here is a quick iPhone clip. Frankie Relic with Jalen Origin PU direct into a H&K TubeMiester 40 Deluxe with no effects.
