It'll definitely be two slowhands, probably either with a painkiller or a cold sweat. The guitar's a carvin bolt kit (hard tail strat with ebony fingerboard), finished in fake fur for whatever difference that'll make.
From the humbucker, I'm basically looking for power metal tones (if I can nail sonata arctica I'll be happy) with not too much versatility required, although a good split tone is fairly important. I'm leaning towards the painkiller, but will it split well?
Since I haven't wired it yet, or bought the electronics, I've got quite a few options. Would there be any real point in coil tapping the slowhands? I'm thinking of a push/push pot that would be similar to rolling off the volume. Obviously it wouldn't be quite the same, but how different would it be, and does the tone balance depend much on where they're tapped? Any other ideas I might not have thought of?
