Is the Piledriver humbucking?
« on: March 03, 2011, 08:14:25 PM »
I'm sure this question can be answered with one word,so forgive me, but reading through the description, it only says
" all the frequency response of a true single coil"  which leads be to believe that is not humbucking, and judging from the picture, it doesn't appear to be stacked, so I'm leaning toward not.  But I have had some pretty hot single coils before and found that it was really hard to control the feedback and such with even a very tight noise gate. I am already sold on the tone but, any of you guys, have any opinion on the noise control with the Piledriver while using high gain amps?

Your avatar is annoying the $%&# out of me and I shod know as I'm utterly innocent when it comes to bad taste in avatars!
There are 10 kinds of people who understand binary.
Those who do and those who do not.

Lmfao!  I would say innocent is an understatement.  Maybe I can find a "calcucorn" with more buldging veins next time.
Thanx for the clip.  The ole famous misha piledriver vid.  Ive always been impressed with the,tone, but im even more interested in how universal it can be just by rolling the volume back.  Im sure I will love it.
