Frequently Asked Questions
The NCOV is noticeably hotter and has more aggressive upper harmonics than a standard Distortion, offering a more modern, high-gain sound.
While not a vintage single-coil tone, the 4-wire design provides a surprisingly usable coil-split, suitable for rhythm playing and adding tonal variety.
The nickel cover is a nickel-plated steel, which balances cost and authenticity. It’s durable but not solid nickel.
