Heavy Hitters! Seymour Duncan Slug vs Schecter Tripocalypse!

[@AlwayzTired]

The Triad also sounds better than I’d expect too.

[@AlwayzTired]

I always thought the Slug would sound flubby, but here it sounds tight.

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

It is pretty compressed and can break up quickly, but it has a biting top end and lows are resonant but not muddy. I would say the Duncan invader is more of a wall of frequencies than the slug. The triple coil pickup also sounds louder since it has more mids and seems to be slightly higher output even only at 22k DCR.

I really want to see all comparisons of Triad vs the world. But a Smart Selection of the world. Unorthodoxy is my headspace too. Talk to me and test to me! Go! Before distortion: Triad and Slug are definitely actuating in different note bands. Triad seems to be going for fullness with harmonics in every strum. Slug is almost no-harmonic, with six exact tones per strum. With distortion: differences are decreasing significantly with more fuzz. Red channel almost entirely erases the diffs. Btw, THANKS. I needed this info!

@@ikestoddard2458 yeah, by the time you get fully gained out, the only real differences are in the feel somewhat and pick attack. There is a bit more of a compressed transient that can be heard and felt in the room with the slug and the lack of real forward mids seems to sound slightly less saturated. But only slightly.

aint throwing either one away 😎🤙

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

@@SearchingForTone nope. Both a killer.

[@Durkhead]

I think its funny cause schecter was trying to make a like really super heavy metal guitar but it ended up having a better clean /low gain tone

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

@@Durkhead the clean tones are amazing on this guitar! The bridge pickup does the heavy, but it is just a well balanced tone overall!

[@infinidominion]

Cant wait to try a Slug. I normally use the Invader and its hard to find something I'd prefer over that

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

Invader is still one of my favorite passives. People either love it or hate it. I think it has a very balanced aggressive tone!

[@smash3327]

Slug sounds more clear to me.

[@BaritoneGoatStudio]

The expanded top end gives it more attack and it has less honky mids. With gain, chords seem to get a little fizzy and muted, but the chugs are more defined.
