I have a set of these in one of my guitars, and while they can sound cool, man I'm in a battle with them right now. I clearly have no idea how in the hell pickup output actually works, but the output on the bridge is driving me nuts.
For example, I'll get a good mid gain preset running for one guitar with a Duncan Pegasus in the bridge (12.5k). AFX input is at about 60% tickling red. Then, when I want to use the Juggernaut on the same preset, I'll switch to the same guitar model, but with the Juggernaut bridge (13.3k), which is seated about 1.5mm higher than the Pegasus, I have to do a few things: adjust the AFX input all the way up to 100%, input trim to 2.0 or beyond, and basically just crank the preamp gain to get anywhere near the same gain levels.
What's driving me nuts even more so, is that I desperately want to lower the Juggernaut, since it's like 2mm from the strings, but I simply can't increase input levels any further.
Anyone have the same experience with these pickups? Why are they the way that they are?
