Only just. I learned to do some arpeggios recently so that was fun.

It has no Tone or Volume controls yet, but were getting there!

What kind of sound do you get out of it? and how do you like it compared to other pickups?

At the moment I get a very bright, trebbly screamy sound. Which is good for the high gain stuff, But when It comes to clean, I have to turn up the bass.

How does it sound with hard rock or metal riffs?

Awesome!

Clear, crisp and crunchy.
