Thanks all! It's great to do something you like to do. I am never going big production with these-it has to remain manageable and enjoyable to do.

That's a great looking and sounding pickup, Wade.  I hope that the venture is a success for you and that your research and hard work is rewarded :-)

Hey Uncle John, I am far from an expert, but  I've learned 3 things when I trying to get the best sound:

1 - Turn the guitar volume and tone just about all the way up

2-  Turn off all effects and distortion - then add them gradually

3- Most of the time - less is more!!!

The settings on my amp was distortion with the gain turned up about halfway and just a little bit of reverb.

I also added a little treble since I was playing mostly out of the neck pickup.

Hope this helps!

Wade

Love the look of that foil pickup.   Like the variety of sounds from clean to dirty.  Neat to hear and see you play too.  Hey, teach me something.   I have a Cube amp too.   How did you get that last dirty sound?
