Guitar player: "Pedal X is the greatest pedal evar. It's so dope. It's obviously well designed because it sounds great with my rig with all the knobs at noon and I don't ever have to adjust them."
What do you think about Pedal Y?
Guitar player: "It sounds awesome, but it's not as good as Pedal X."
Why is that?
Guitar player: "Pedal X has more knobs."

My favourite dirt box is a TS-Rat I made into a one knobber. Also the fuzz-envelope-delay I made one knob as well….i guess i have a type.

rat volume on one and the fuzz volume on the other. The fuzz is first so it really has an effect on the filter depending where it’s at, pretty cool!

P90s—all the noise of a single coil with all the muddiness of a humbucker!

That dirt inbuilt takes pedal builders and DESIGNERS jobs.

Might be too many overwound pickups in general. I don't like overwound pickups.Noise yes, muddy...your playing poorly built ones then. My P90s are not muddy at all. Luke warm take
I concur- ‘muddy’ is not at all how I would describe my guitars with P90s.Noise yes, muddy...your playing poorly built ones then. My P90s are not muddy at all. Luke warm take

I feel like 10 or 20 years ago every pickup was like 12-16k because they're metal and brutal and intense, but then people tried playing them thru a normal amp and that's where the mudbucker idea came from. I'm still surprised when I see vintage footage of bands playing old Les Pauls with PAFs and they sound bright like a telecaster - there's no mud there

Those 70's LP that sound like that have T-Tops in 'em

6–8k seems to be the sweet spot for me. Single coil or humbucker, surprisingly. I'm not sure that would hold true for filtertreons, jazzmaster pickups, etc.
