DESCRIPTION:
Demo of my Catswhisker Wide Range Humbuckers. These have Alnico 5 pole magnets, not FeCrCo and obviously not CuNiFe, and measure 10.6k. The biggest thing I noticed immediately was that they are far more articulate than PAF style humbuckers. They are like a fat single coil with a little PAF flavor thrown in. They sound absolutely fantastic. A very good alternative to Lollar Regals, Telenators, The Creamery, Novak, etc.
Ash Tele, Allparts TMO-FAT maple neck, 500k pots for the bridge, 1 Meg pots for the neck, .022 Mojo Dijon Caps.
I'm running it through my Eleven Rack to Rokit5 monitors and recorded with a Tascam IM2 iPhone mic. The first portion is a Marshall Plexi patch, second is a lightly driven Tweed Deluxe with Reverb, 3rd is the same Deluxe without Reverb, and fourth is Digidesigns own Vintage Overdrive amp.
