These pickups deliver both heavy and crunch/clean tones. Were harder to control at first because of increased low end compared to standard active pickup sets, though they also have clearer mid-range and less sandy highs, which I like – it's easier to get the tones you want when there's not so many overwhelming frequencies.
Also had to adjust them lower with the screws, so they won't overdrive/clip too much on cleans and then – voila! The tone becomes really tight and chunky on high gain, low gain becomes really rich and juicy. Dynamics are incredible!
And together with EMG EXG I reached beautiful clean surf rock and funk tones!
