Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a step away from the original PAF – brighter and with more output, but retaining that vintage character. Think of it as a refined evolution of the classic design.
Absolutely, but be mindful of the higher output; it might push your amp into overdrive more easily, especially with a hot bridge pickup.
The nickel-plated capacitor contributes to the tone, softening harshness and adding a subtle warmth and vintage feel – it's not just for looks.
