Thank you so much for this installation guide. Subbed. Do you know if Hotrails are suitable for a Fender Mustang too?

The PRS sounds better

Blue one more glassy sound

Thanks I have the stealth as well and was thinking of trying the pedal…kinda would not make sense

Perfect! Thank you!

Thank you. Really helpful. You 're rock

I prefer adding the existing bridge pickup to the tone control. They sound great when you can roll the highs.

Good way to compare using the ears first.

Hi. I'm in the process of converting my Fender Player HSS Stratocaster (alder body, maple neck and ebony fingerboard) into something like a Superstrat for playing heavy riffs. I bought a Seymour Duncan Invader humbucker for the bridge, but I have a dilemma about the other two - whether to buy 2 Hot Rials or is it better to have one Hot Rials and one Cool Rials? And in which position will both of these pickups perform better? Greetings from Poland... 🤘

Tin your iron dude

Bro thanks sm you saved me so much time!

Thank you, you helped me a lot. JT

I've been looking for something like this because I'm also thinking on buying the 5150 EVH combo 40 w. I stil don't know what to do 😅 I play rock and heavy btw.

I have the pedal and I’m about to get the amp and this video saved me cos now I know I want the amp still!

Fender has ceramic magnet

:55 I think you’re trying to say some balls! 🤓

Thinking of making the internal switch external with a 3 dpdt on/on/on. Adding a LED wouldn’t hurt either.

🤯

Thanks - Great concept! It may be my speakers but the 5150 sounded much more "tinny" without the Tube Screamer. And of course the Tube Screamer just sounded silky by itself - at least to my ears. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the 5150 pedal - but for blues I think the darker smoother tones work best overall. But again, Thank you - Great concept!

Thanks a lot. The other day, I got curious and unscrewed one of the pick-up height adjuster screws. This cleared up my confusion because when I tried to screw it back in, it wasn't staying in position. Thanks.

I actually use both the Tube Screamer, and the Sugar Drive on my pedal board. I like the Ibanez for hard rock situations (nice and dirty), and the MXR for richer, cleaner tones. Rare that I use both at the same time, but the MXR works great as a boost without a ton of noise when I do. Love them both.

I just put one of these in my Fender Stratocaster! I’m excited to see what it’ll sound like. Definitely liked the Fender more.

Amen lord bless you guys and sir!

La Fender ST se come a la PRS. Al menos es lo que yo percibo....

Hot Rails seems a bit bloated in the lower mids and lacks top end bite. Maybe 500k pots would get it closer?

Cool piece of Fender history. See a lot of strat plus around but not so many of these. Top loader strat with a trem! Sure they will become collectible eventually.

Good sound man for blues and I like the 5150

I've always loved Hot Rails. Easily one of my favorite pickups ever. I remember trying one for the first time in 1986. I immediately went to my local shop with my strat and bought a Hot Rail and had it installed. I was thrilled with it. At the time I was thirteen and had just joined my first band. I wanted a bigger, heavier sound out of my strat. I loved the guitar but it wasn't powerful enough. The Hot Rail solved the problems. I played that guitar for years; wish I still had it. But I can buy another strat any time and load a Hot Rail in the bridge.

Great sound! Very full sounding distortion.

What is your opinion about this pedal... if you connect this in a laney cub 12r itwill be much better its sounds from this pedal... or connect from deluxe?... jeje idont know if i buy this deluxe.. ihave this pedal... excusame for my english i am mexican

I hate the night that you decide to let them all hang but you always have that fear that the whole things gonna come down.

This is WRONG. If you're using the existing pickups in the neck and middle, the black goes to GROUND and the green goes to the switch. Otherwise, position 4 will be out of phase.

You should probably learn before you can teach! Sorry about being so blunt but you confuse me by you being confused!

I drilled a 1 inch hole on the backing plate for easy access I’m done taking the 4 screws out 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆👍

I put a hotrail in my Strat and it almost feels like it’s got a natural overdrive thing going on

Going all black on my black strat including pots & pickup covers. Good instructions and a great look, thanks 👋

Hi there.......I have a Schecter Sustainiac.........Im taking the Sustainiac pickup up out .I have a EMG Hot retro 70 in the bridge......What should i put in the neck....The EMG 85 or EMG 81...........Thanks.

is it still hanging gonna get one

Hey man! The gladiator channel boards link is broken, do you know where i can get them ?

If you’d tighten the tip on your soldering iron and hit it with a wire brush that solder would melt like butter in a couple seconds, no matter the wattage, I see the tip move every time to put it to the pot, and the cleaner it is the better. 🤔

Cool I was hoping the evh 5150 pedal can do a clean boost

Strat sounded pretty thick..nice... But u cant beat a paul for rock rhythm guitar....imo.

hello

Shut up and play 🤷‍♂️

Great review! I really like the Superbadass Distortion. Do you still have it?

At around 13:05 or so the guitar playing sounds like the soundtrack to bulemic sorority girls binge-ing on junk food

That white spot on the pick guard is where the sticker specs used to be before removing it... Mine might have that too lol
