It would be closer (but still not totally accurate) to say that overdrive is distortion. An amp or preamp may provide a lot of gain with very little distortion. The is not distortion, but amplification. A humbucker will help your amp distort sooner, hence the perception of more gain. Single coils, obviously, are half the size. Humbuckers have two coils and the strenght of the signal is the sum of the two coils. The difference is the strength of the signal. Gain is defined as distortion and is never obtained at the guitar. I know this is old, and it has probably been cleared already. You can get humbuckers to fit in a strat without making bigger slots for the pickups Ya look at the Seymour Duncan website i was looking to replace my pickups on telecaster. is there any way to change to humbuckers and if it's possible do you have any idea about how much it would cost?. Oyee kenny q pasooo ya no mandas tus tabs what happen Im about to buy mines, thanks for the info, Jesus rocks, good thing you rock for Him ! God Bless It really boils down to your personal preference. Single coils have a kind of twang which is quite suitable for blues and country music, but not for heavier rock.īut it isn't a hard and fast rule, because many rock players use single coils, and some blues players use humbuckers. Humbuckers have a much thicker and distorted sound ('higher gain') than single coils. But the single coils probably don't sound as 'authentic' as dedicated single coils, but the video should be enough to give you a broad idea.
I installed a push-pull pot, which is a really useful and cheap (about US$8) device to switch between having two coils or one coil. I use a pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Single coil pickups use, well, a single coil, and humbuckers use two coils.īefore I briefly describe the difference, have a listen (humbuckers go first, then single coils): Pickups are magnets placed under the string, and transmits your sound to your amps. One of the first things you need to decide when you get your first electric guitar is whether you want to use humbucker or single coil pickups.
