Frequently Asked Questions

It's hotter and more aggressive than the Evolution 8, but not as scooped as the IBZ8. It fills a specific niche for players needing that extra push.
While it's high output, the design aims for clarity; however, extreme drop tunings might require careful EQ adjustments to avoid muddiness.
The 4-wire design allows for genuinely useful coil splits, providing a surprisingly versatile range of tones – from a convincing single-coil to a more balanced humbucker sound.
