HI everyone!

Wich bridge pickup has more output or gain, the sweat cold or the miracle man?

Thanks.

Pickups don't produce gain, they transport the vibrations of the strings. That said, the Miracle Man is hotter.

The Miracle Man has more output but since the Cold Sweat has more highs and high mids it does not appear to have much less output. I have tried them both in the same guitar.

Cheers Stephan

this
the cold sweat sounds crunchier in the upper mids, while the miracle man gets grainier on lower mids but quite clean on center and high mids, so they don't feel much different in output, despite of the dc resistance difference
the miracle man sounds heavier, though

Exactly, the frequencies make what we experience as loud. In this respect my VHII doesn't sound way less hotter then my Crawler.
