They have just the right amount of bark in the mids, clean when strummed politely while driving when played more aggressively . The top end clarity present and very well balanced. Overall, these are a medium output set that can drive and bark when needed.
Compression
These pickups are medium in output so they will have a solid mid range presence. They will drive when needed or run warm and full when left clean.

Once the pickup is wound, Klein lightly waxes the pot (FLASH POT) to avoid unwanted microphonic feedback but still retains that natural vintage tone.
