Yeah I got closest to Tom G Warrior's tone by rolling the tone knob back to darken it up, but I was still left with the basic abrasiveness of the pickup that made it sound a bit off. I also found it a bit shrill for Judas Priest. This Cold Sweat doesn't have that edge to it, so I think those sounds would be easier to get.
What I actually found the A-bomb to we worst at was Iron Maiden. I'll see how I go with the new one. The amp and speaker combo wouldn't help either, they tend to enhance the mids (Peavey 6534+ > V30s)
