one thing about lower output pickups is, they give greater dynamic and tonal range and sound less compressed. if you are going for gain, you gotta get it somewhere. thing is, the closer to the powertubes you can make that gain, the quieter the rig is, and the more dynamic potential you have in the equation. lynch's first 'real' amp was an SLO 100 soldano. and if you cant get good tone out of that amp, you

The description about low vs. high output pickups was painful... 'high output pickups compromise the integrity of the amp' ?!
Geez, how 'bout this instead: A lower output pickup enables you to turn the amp up more, thus driving it harder on the power-tube end of things. But you have to play it LOUD.
Also, lower output equals less string drag, thus more sustain.
Loud pickups or newfangled amps with 7 or 8 freakin pre-amp tubes just give you more and more rizz and dirt at a bedroom volume, sure, but it sounds like processed crap at actual live performance levels.
People have forgotten the point to all the original HIGH OUTPUT pickups (and distortion boxes) was to drive NON master-volume amps...amps that were very difficult to play quietly, at least with any grit.
It surprises me that Lynch is just now getting this stuff figured out, but then again, he came in riding the wave of super-duper preamp distortion.
Lee Jackson Metalltronnnnixxx mods anyone? How many ways can we destroy some sweet 70's Marshalls? More preamp tubes? YES. Effects loops? Check. Cooling fans for more tubes? YEP. Add MV to non-MV? Yep. Anything else? Paint the tolex? Drill more holes? Speed holes?
I'm not raggin' on Lynch, I'm just saying.
I guess at the end of the day, I'm so sick of all this uber-highgain stuff quadruple rectified absurd distortion, it's refreshing that one of the original high-gain kings should come back to embrace TONE.
