Thanks Collin. Sounds wonderful and very informative! Just wondering about your amp/mic setup here? Great quality :-)

Great Video, Thankyou 🎸🎶🎸

Kind of amazed there aren't more demos of this pickup. Putting it in a partscaster flipped Esquire with a lefty bridge and a reverse CBS headstock Strat neck. Wish me luck!

Bro's just sayin words

Great Video Thankyou ❤

I would love to see a quality version of the Greg Bennet Fastback series. An offset lp styling.

New? Looks exactly like a Charvel Desolation to me, but with some Huber esthetics 🤷

Thank you for making this video! Sounds incredible and great playing! Would love to know what pickup conversion rings you used and how did you mount them under the pickguard? Did you have to do any modifications to adhere them or did you just have to install the rings like you would a normal Strat sized pickup under the pickguard? This would be my dream pickup set but I can't afford a Lari Basilio signature guitar so would need to put it in a super-strat style guitar also. Thanks!

Haven’t heard of this pedal. Sounds right up my alley. Really did sound dynamic with some sag like an amp. Good stuff.

Great vid on how to use the SD-9, one stop shop for liquid lead tone. I’m a tone all the way down guy haha. Great playing too!

TelePaul

What is it??

I miss my Blackstone. It was ruined due to years of improper storage due to my being in the military. There is simply nothing like it. I remember walking into a music store mind made up to buy a certain twin pedal. That’s why I came to the store that day. The guy asks me to humor him first, fires up an Orange 2x12 and gets a cookin tone going. He switches it back to clean and switches on the Blackstone to compare. Then he switches over to the other pedal I had had my wallet ready for. Yeah I walked out with the Blackstone.

Leslecaster 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for the video. I use the QC in the same way.

Kinman is better on single coils imo. I always do my best to put the bleed on a switch, push pull on a Strat, perhaps a mini toggle between knobs on a Tele control plate. And depending upon my pedal board for any given guitar: if I'm using a fuzz face or an old school germanium boost, especially if its always-on like I might for a Strat, the bleed is definitely switched.

I love the tones you're getting from the Hades Gates pickups. Sounds like you've listened to a lot of that first "Cry of Love" album (Audley Freed). I've had a Les Paul husk hanging around for a while, waiting on me to decide which pickups to put in it. I think I might give these a whirl. Coincidently... I saw Cry of Love open for ZZ Top in 1993 at Hirsch Coliseum in Shreveport, LA.

Great video. I want to build a similar pedalboard. At least I already have the QC 😎👍

Does the sound temporarily cut out when you engage the switch? This looks like the wah of my dreams but I read about that issue for the xw-1

Your tone right from the start was awesome!

Great video, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Looks smart

Embossed dude

Very cool sound and articulation!

What amp is that? Sounds incredible!

Such a great walkthrough and review, Collin. I’ve had a TS9DX on my board for well over a decade. Lots of studio time and live shows with it. I agree with its being a very versatile tool. The TS9 and the + are really nice TS style OD’s. I found the HOT and TURBO modes to be too wooly and muddy for me so I would always bump the tone up quite a bit and run those modes as more of a light drive or a boost. This was my OD of choice for my Telecaster and man does it sound good!

Can this pickup still get a classic tele sound with 250k pots?

Make a tutorial on what your talking about I have zero clue what it is but it sounds cool

Whats the name of the guitar with the humbuckers? Looks hot!

Ed Kemper plays guitar? 😮

This is a great video and your tone is amazing! Love the burnt strat! Wish I had the full size Keeley Katana I bought the mini pink one from Sweetwater.

Wonder what the difference is between the Red Devil for tele and the PG for tele? Great demo, man

Great demo. I didn't know this one existed as a regular production model. I just saw it as i was looking for the new Red Devil pickup. It sounds simply amazing but 29.2k output is crazy. I got the Seymour Duncan Hot Tele in my guitar and i thought it was hot 😀

This might be the bridge pickup I have been waiting for to pair with the PAF in the neck of my custom Tele.

What pedal?

The best pickups I own are made by The Japanese brand "Saito." Off the charts tone.

beautiful guitar! wowzzah ;)

I've been looking for a hotter PAF style preferably with A2 because I like the thicker looser mid push. But I noticed pretty much every candidate I looked at on the Duncan website the EQ graph shows scooped mids. I mean pretty much everything appears to have the exact same scooped EQ. Discouraged I started looking at other makers. Then I saw the hades, which advertises a "mid forward" tone Billy is known for. Sounds promising maybe this is the one. Nope, same scooped EQ. If these are really all scooped that's a bummer and some variety would be nice. If it's an error in website management/acuracy it's costing you orders because I have specifically avoided ordering any of these after seeing they are mid scooped on the website.

Buang

Real nice demo! Also, the pickups sound great! I hope the Hades Gates bridge balances better with the neck. The one thing I didn't like about the Pearly Gates set is that the bridge sounded a bit thin compared to the neck. Is the Hades Gates set potted?

Kamala Harris

Bruh I can’t what the pedal is lol

Great video man. It answered all the questions I was having with my hypothetical future setup. Thanks!

Thank you for making this video. Outstanding. And probably my favorite for showing off what a Tausch can do. Just subscribed to your channel. Will look forward to hearing more from you, and more of you playing this guitar. Congrats on the amazing new 665.

I have one of these TS9DX too! Really like using it in front of both my Marshall and my Laney amp.

Rhett Shull raved about this guitar too. Once a secret but now becoming more and more into the light. Fantastic guitars, majestic tones !

What do you think would the perfect neck pickup to pair with this? I was thinking the STR-2

That is a beautiful sound.

That pedal does put out some sweet tones. Here I was just thinking it was a Tube Screamer clone. I might pick one of these up.

Love your playing (and singing)! Great video, I need to try a little overdrive for leads on my acoustic, thank you, subscribed!
