Well why is suggest a mule is because it is a low output pups that is very versatile. It can scream shout spit or growl and it can also clean up very well. Let the pedals do all the mean stuff for you. As a low output pups reveals a "truer" tone of your guitar and you hear your wood in action more. Dynamics can never be challenged from a low output pups.
And one thing that is for certain the amp is the final say. Use a cr@ppy ass guitar on a Good amp you would still get good. But Shove a PRS or Don Grosh or Suhr with BKP into a shitety amp can never sound as good.
Interesting. I realize the amp is the final say, but as i said before, i am still a bit mesmerized at the tone i got. Maybe in this rare case shite + shite = tone heaven? Whatever, i have gotten good advice from some people, which is what i wanted to generate about this alleged dilemma i've been having. My next task is to talk to Tim, i should think.
