Title: hot
Post by: braintheory on October 23, 2010, 09:32:53 PM

this might seem like a very noobish question, but what does it mean when a pick up is described as being hot?  Does it mean it's high output or that it drives the amp hard?

Both - since it's mostly just the same. The higher the (voltage) output from your pups, the harder you drive the amp.
