Steve’s Special™ is a non-traditional approach to high-output bridge humbucking pickup design. Hot humbuckers usually concentrate most of the pickup’s power in a narrow frequency bandwidth for maximum impact. Using our patented dual-resonance design, Steve’s Special™ takes the opposite path, spreading the sound over a broad range. Bass and treble frequencies are boosted while the mids are pulled back, so the pickup’s power doesn’t kick a high-gain amp into overdrive as easily. This makes Steve’s Special™ a good choice for both fast soloing and clean chords, because individual notes won’t smear together with heavy overdrive, and clean sounds have an almost “hi-fi” quality.
didn't play the SS, but that's pretty much how I'd describe a miracle man :lol:
the broad range explanation fits it perfectly
the lower strings sound deeper and growly and the higher strings treble peak seems to be higher than the other models
the "hi-fi" thing on the cleans too
it also pushes the amp a lot less than most people would expect from a ceramic high DC humbucker
in general, bkps have a tighter and clearer sound
