Diablo preferring single coil or humbucking guitars at this point? I really prefer me some EVEAL fuzz on SC's!!!

This Diablo has some of what I love to break out of a solidstate amp. First thing this turned my jazzmaster / bandmaster into Greg Ginn. Cranked it and it did that Jon Spencer vacuum cleaner thing. Eased up and played maybe Iron Maiden- so now it's sounding like what -goosed Marshalls? I love this thing!

I tried it with all the different pickups and here's my take. Sounds amazing with single coils, of course. Sounds pretty good with humbuckers. Sounded awful with my old Gibson's P90s. :party:

Did the P90s sound bad if you rolled back on the volume on the guitar to around 9? I know with P90s and Vox Tonebenders I could never get it to sound right at full blast on the guitar, had to roll it back.

Good point. It was okay when rolled back to about the 7-9 range. Forgot to mention that. Good call.

Yeah from my experience (your mileage may vary) P90s are muddy with fuzz. My P90 guitars are hollow too (ES330 and ES350t) which doesnt help. It is almost like a vocalist standing too close to a mic and it sounding muddy, but move back a bit and it works. P90s sound wonderful with Fuzztones with the guitar volume at 10 though which makes sense really being a Gibson circuit.

Played the diablo today with the band, after a good 15 min space jam I kicked the diablo on and loosely jammed "How many more times"..fucking A this pedal sounds great with a tele.
