7 models are available
for Humbucking pickups over 10k ohms resistance, including high impedance single coils above 10k ohms. One exception is the Vintage Cooler*.
A brief description and audio samples can be found below. Each knob below links to several sound clips - just
click on the highlighted numbers. All recordings were made using a new
Gibson Les Paul Studio through a Marshall JCM2000 Clean channel, and distorted tones were created
using a Behringer V-Amp digital modeler, both recorded direct. No processing of any other kind was used
and no settings were changed other than the tone (or volume) dial on the guitar between
sounds. All samples were recorded on the BRIDGE pickup with the exception of the
Vintage Cooler, which is on the NECK pickup. For BASS see "PB Scoop" at the page bottom.

| COBRA Low end emphasis with a little looser, meaty sound.
More "vintage" in character, this performs wonderfully for scorching blues
sounds.
 
COBRA DT
The Cobra "Deep Throat" -
similar to Cobra but with a much more dramatic growl.
 
VINTAGE COOLER
A unique model and concept, this pack
attaches to the volume control of your neck pickup. When turned down to the 7 range it
revoices your pickup to a more vintage, "non-overwound" sound. Down to
5 you get a more "underwound" tone, incredible for neck rhythm
playing. Once below about 4, the control begins to resume its normal volume
function down to zero. This pack also sounds wonderful when used to 'back off' an overdriven
amp - it cleans up but KEEPS your tone! *Verify that your volume control has an audio taper pot. If not, you may
also order one through us.
PB SCOOP
A mid-scoop REACTOR for Basses with
humbucking pickups reading 10k ohms or higher. This pack provides big, punchy lows with
clear highs. A classic scooped tone reminiscent of more complex active systems without the
hassle. Clips recorded using a Fender American Precision Bass into a clean solid state preamp,
EQ controls flat and recorded direct.

VIPER Provides an emphasized, very tight bass response with excellent
presence. This is optimized for fat, overdriven tones.
 
VIPER DT
The Viper "Deep Throat" - similar to the
Viper but with a little wider bottom end and more snarl.
 
ACOUSTIC CHROME
This pack is voiced for clean tones.
When rolled off it imparts a shimmery, scooped clean sound that takes the heat out of your
pickup and is optimized for rhythm playing that sits more like an acoustic guitar. You
won't believe it's a humbucking bridge pickup!
STOCK 22 TONE
For comparison, these sound clips
are of the stock tone control with a 22nF capacitor.
Clean Tone = 10 5 0
Dirty Tone = 10 5 0
