Power Tron's are humbuckers and sound more like a traditional gibson than stock filtertrons in a Gretsch. They still sound more like a Gretsch than a Gibson, a little more clarity I'd say. A lot of people love the sound of Power Tron pickups. A Dou-Jet is not a Les Paul though, it is a different concept. They are much lighter in weight and have a little more air around the notes too. Make no mistake though, they rock hard, with or without distortion. Hope this helps you.
i'm confused with those kind of pickups... do they sound like humbuckers? i want to get a power jet for the amazing look and the bigsby but i'd need a humbucker sound
Your fantastic, dont change. LOL thats hilarious.
By the way that little pinky slide at 2:14 is quite difficult for someone who has hands like a muchkin. Namely me. You must have hands like a catchers mitt.
That's what I had first. I switched to Rajin Cajuns'. They sound better with overdrives for the blues/rock I'm playing now. The CH's were def cool for rockabilly with my tele. Very punchy. Damn, that muct be loud with all three! Those Emi's are very efficient speakers!
I almost switched to the Cajuns. Still may at some point. It sounds GREAT with the additional 12. Loud and full and very Fendery. If you want, I can give you the name of the cabinet maker. He was good and cheap too.
Thanks but I'm trying to reduce volume since I haven't played out in about a year. I put 6v6's in to lower the wattage but it's still freakin loud. Played with a band using the 6v6's and was plenty loud. Hope to see you do some more vids with the Encore!
