    Anyone ever swap pickup magnets?

    I swapped out the alnico 2 magnet on my neck humbucker with an alnico 5 magnet. There was a slight difference, but it wasn’t massive. A little brighter and slightly tighter low end.

    Nope. I never try to match amps with controls at noon. Pots used in amps have huge tolerances, so noon on one amp can be a 4 or 6 on another amp.

    Brit Silver - Is the mid knob behaving correctly?

    I’ve never tried using it that way, but I should give it a shot! I typically run the Jubilee with the output volume at 6, and the input gain around 3 or 4. I then ride the guitar volume knob to get the kind of gain I want.
  41. pharmd07

    Brit Silver - Is the mid knob behaving correctly?

    It’s amazing how responsive the tone knobs are on real Jubilee, just like the Brit Silver model. It’s one of the reasons the Jubilee is so unique. My Jubilee 2525H controls can have a dramatic effect with just the smallest turn of the tone knobs.
