Hey thanks for all the advice on the Stormy Monday's. Finally got them set up and got some play time in. The clip below is from a jam with a friend of mine. My set up was SG > HBE Treble Booster [12 O'Clock] > Marshall Class 5 [12 O'Clock] - I couldn't be happier, I have never heard my guitar or amp sound better. The note definition is incredible and the clarity is actually forcing me to be a cleaner player.

Thanks again all.

Tim, you make the best pickups in the world, bar none.

PS. I usually run my amp around 3-5 O'Clock with the Treble booster cranked to 11 and an echo set for a reverb sound. I actually had to back off on the gain (to the settings I listed above), despite the pickups having technically less out put I actually ended up with more sustain and break up at lower gain settings. I couldn't believe it. I also ended up turning off the echo. I just didn't need it. There was so much sustain, chime and clarity it was just redundant.

Nice to know you're happy with your SM - BKP have a definite "Wow Factor" indeed. But beware, it can become pretty addictive ;)
