Trying out a Fender Telecaster with Seymour Duncan Telecaster Hot Rails through my POD X3 Live

My friend Evan lent me his Fender Telecaster for today. He put these Seymour Duncan Hot Rails on the bridge pickup. I ran it through my distortion patch on my POD X3 Live and it sounds fucking BRUTAL. The neck pickup on the Tele also sounds sexy as fuck, especially with my clean patch. It's really an amazing guitar.

I play some riffs from different songs and do some improvs. My playing isn't the best in those improvs, I think, it might sound kinda sloppy... but whatever, it's all about showing you what the tone is like with the POD X3 and the Telecaster with the SDHR. If you want, stop watching after the Suicide and Redemption cover.

As usual, save for the guitar:

im plannig to put a hot rails in the midlle position of my swamp ash strat

is the tone of this pick up independent of the position ( neck middle bridge)???

any advices thnks

[n30l1nk]

@kalimoncho51 You know, I'm not sure. ._. In every guitar with multiple pickups, the pickups tend to go from dirty in the bridge position to clean in the neck position. Might be for a reason, but I never thought about that. I'd look into that before acting.

[murdoc111]

Does anyone know how it sounds clean?

[n30l1nk]

@murdoc111 Through the Hot Rails on the bridge? Like fucking shit. It sounds beautiful through the Tele's stock pickup, though.

@n30l1nk :

I got a bad English. Is the Hot Rails Clean Sound Good or Bad ?

And do you build a push Pull Poti in your Tele for Coil Splitting ?

[n30l1nk]

Hot Rails in clean? Eh... Generally, very very bad. You're supposed to use it with overdrive or distortion. As for the second question, I have no idea what you're talking about. By the way, it's not my Tele. It's in the vid description.

[DeadWhiteButterflies]

This pretty much shuts up the metal heads who always complain teles can't do metal, hahaha.

[GrayXIII]

Tele's have that nice twang to them so I like palm mutes on them better. I think the guitarist for Iron Maiden used some sort of fender as well and the guitarist for Stone Sour uses one too.

telecaster from hell!!

[fruhotchiliman]

so did the hot rail pick ups really allow you to play heavier stuff with more distortion?

[n30l1nk]

@OakPark11MileRd Yeah, I'm sorry a mere 7 out of 8 minutes was only recorded in broad fucking daylight, I'll try to record in the middle of the woods at midnight or something next time. Good thing my ROOM LIGHTS THAT I TURN ON AT NIGHT are so goddamn powerful that they overpower my Macbook Pro's AMAZING 9001 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA and make it seem like it's dark, just how I like it.

@Bierprofi you can add your own pull pot for under a £10, just buy the pull pot and abit of wire, and look online for a diagram for the wiring, get your solder iron out and your their, pull pots are dirt cheap, and you can wire it up so when U hit the push pot it kills the guitar sound and gives some great david gilmore sounds

[Jojo123hello]

im planning to by the mexican tele. should i get these with it?

[Inverted314]

this is badass. Being lefty kills my guitar choices, I really want a jim root but they dont make it in my orientation, and I love the look of a tele. I think Im gonna sell my schecter to get one of these.

[GasolineAndNails]

YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME TO GET A TELE WITH HOT RAILS THANK YOU SIR.

[nomadnomad666999]

thanks dude, this is exactly what i needed to hear. just got a tele and the distorted sound is shit - as expected. So I am deciding between hotrails and superdistortion.
