Thoughts On P90 Pickups & Humbucker Comparisons - That Pedal Show

Welcome to That Pedal Show! Please subscribe to our channel and visit our store www.thatpedalshowstore.com
Life too short for long KZbin videos? Please see the ‘Interesting bits and go-to sections’ information below.
In this video we take a gentle stroll down the path of P90 pickups. We found ourselves in the lucky position of having a bunch of wonderful P90-equipped guitars at our disposal, so what better excuse to plug ’em in and have a listen next to some similar guitars that use humbuckers.
As always with us, this isn’t a scientific comparison, and yes the guitars have some significant differences. Regular viewers will know that we’re more interested in the variables than the similarities… because that’s real life!
We plug in all kinds of guitars with different levels of gain and have a listen. Simple as that - please enjoy the video…

[@StringsOfCrossroads]

I showed my husband this episode (who is not musical)as evidence of why I need to have so many different guitars ! 😁😊 different pickups, yes, but also different body types, wood types, maple cap, no maple cap, 250k pot 500k pot endless variables that keep my GAS for guitars going! You can’t just have one single coil and one p90 and one humbucker guitar, you have to have at least 20!!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah, that’s fantastic Catherine, hope he was convinced, thanks so much for watching :)

But you on the other hand, Tom Law, have enriched all of our lives with your intelligent, poised and well thought out comment. Thank you!

[@TheToneLounge]

P90's are not all created equal, so try a few out to see which ones you like. I have a P90 in my Les Paul Jr, which is a dog ear with AlNiCo slugs, while my PRS has soapbar P90's which sound completely different. Cheers

[@tomlaw8821]

Ok watch the Marshall amp on 10 video, she turns her guitar down to 1 totally defeating the purpose of the video. Not all but most women SUCK they are drains of fun. She has the personality of a blank white wall, just NOTHING about her is interesting. Calling all white knight calling all white knights we need delusional morons.

p90, the sound of Live At Leeds. What an album!

[@owenhu9465]

Holy smokes i did not expect dan's ripping jazz comping there at all! What a player :D

[@bchant19]

Well the one thing I can say is DAN YOU NEED TO PLAY THAT SG JUNIOR MORE! It's bloody fantastic.

I get feeling so good about the state of my home tone sounds, then come to your channel and weep at the beauty that is That Pedal Show. I might say that no other channel comes close to nailing every tone as you do here. Love it. TY.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah, thanks so much, we work hard at it

[@jdavis.fw303]

Truer words...

[@777Yoni]

I've had the same experience (repeatedly). Solidarity.

[@YMESYDT]

I would love to see you guys get someone like Gilad Hekselman on the show, he’s a big pedal guy and an incredible jazz player

[@vai147]

Perfect timing, seeing I just bought a P-90 loaded Gibson Les Paul Classic Goldtop yesterday! You can add prescience to your many talents!

[@samwheeler-brown7458]

Just bought my first guitar with p90s and it's honestly a revolution for me. I love the clarity I get from them. Every note comes out of the chord and the drive just blossoms out of them in such an organic feeling way. They've inspired me hugely and I've had to basically adjust everything about how I play to get the most out of them. I can feel myself improving. Great video guys thanks

[@bleeknoir]

YAY! Not only is it you guys, but you're talking about the only pick-up I use in my guitars. Big love x

[@kauwgomboom]

The big thing for me about P-90’s is bottom string clarity. Compared to humbuckers the lower notes just separate much better!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Has a lot to do with the ‘compression’ and ‘dynamic range’ things we’re talking about I reckon. Mick here. I’m with you. You only get that snap from a single coil. :0)

[@batoli20]

Yessss! Been debating about picking up a P90 equipped guitar all month. Much love from Japan

[@CountCarbsNotCals]

I can't get over how great these P-90's sound, it just blows me away.

Lol first thing I noticed and it bugged me the whole time!

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

This brought back memories of my es-125, that I had in high school about a hundred years ago. I didn't appreciate it nearly enough. All I wanted then was a LP.

[@stevenblakeborough4706]

You're channel is so informative. Thank you. I've just bought my first P90 guitar after years of owning and play Fender Tele and Strat and and I love it.

[@AdamGotheridge]

I saw the title of this and was dreading it, but it turned out to be maybe one your best episodes. Really insightful. Particularly liked the back to back playing on the riffs for comparison, and then just doing the same thing swapping guitars is really helpful too. And that old Gibson with Dan playing the jazz thing just sounded fantastic. Really enjoyed it!

[@MNGuitars]

Love love love love love you guys, TPS rules..beautiful guitars and sounds today mates, never not learning

[@fchampd4512]

Awsome! now do a show on tweed amps!

[@sourceaudioeffects]

Great episode, guys! Informative. Just watched a fairly decent Johnny Thunders documentary last night - they talked a little bit about his P90 equipped LP Junior. A rock machine.

[@garystackhouse5787]

YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! MY FAVOURITE PUPS!!!!!!!!! :D Week = Made!!! Thanks, gents! Amazing as always!!! I HAVE an ES125 with TWO P90's, plus a 335 with P90's and a Bigsby and a P90-loaded Tele!

[@dadbod6039]

Wow.. Dans little schwang is proof we need more Jazz guitar on the show!! Love Love Love. Jazz guitar lesson please Dan?

[@peterpan0929]

I love Dan's expression as Mick hits that magical note....

[@GiantPinhead]

Excellent! Thanks. One of my favorites yet.

[@nicolaveronese9273]

Much awaited video!

[@iagobroxado]

Dan's SG Jr sounds gorgeous. Probably my favorite guitar of the day.

[@SierraMike78]

wth fellas, that opening 30 second sequence was awesome. Been playing a while and just captured something new to work into. Both of you guys are good !!! now to watch the rest of this.

[@applemanuk]

Great show guys. Whilst I love the twang of my telecaster the sound I always anchored after was the raucous power of a P90 guitar. I have a couple of P-90 equipped guitars. Pride of place among them is my Custom Shop VOS re-issue 57 LP Junior. Without doubt a true rock and roll guitar. In terms of sound P-90’s definitely give you the best of both worlds. The added fatness over a single coil with the added richness & clarity that a humbucker lacks.

[@DavidDyte1969]

OMG Dan with the jazz break. That was AMAZING.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Ah, cheers mate, hope you’re great :)

[@Davepotnoodle]

That jazz fingerpicking was glorious!

[@DJBuglip]

I'm rewatching this since I just put hum-sized P90s in my green LP. Thanks for the comparison to review, gents.

P90's are in all my guitars, hands down my favourite pick-up.

[@TheLadsBandLive]

So much fun watching Dan light up with that ES-125! They really do belong together.

[@macleanclassics]

Oh the sweet bends in the intro Dan.... had to listen twice just to hear those resolves again !

[@OhBHayes]

THANK YOU for this! Please do one on MINI HUMBUCKERS 🙏🏼👀

[@drutgat2]

I found this show fascinating. Thank you. I think Dan nailed the difference between Mick's Les Paul Standard 1959 (Humbucker) Reissue and Simon's Les Paul 1960 Special (P90) Reissue when he says at 34:19, "There's a body behind that edge with that guitar that you don't get with this [1960 L.P. Special Reissue P90]". And, to me, that is a wonderful way to describe the difference, generally, between Humbuckers and P90s. I would go one further (and I am coming out of the closet here), and say that pickups and pots and where and how one plays are the main influences in accounting for differences in the sound of different guitars - more than tone woods, centre blocks, bridges, and construction of the guitar in other ways. (I feel ex-communication coming soon).

[@Zappappappappa]

I know your comment is from four years ago but I wholeheartedly agree that it really comes down to a player's dynamics and just the overall way the essential electrical components play off each other. A few of my friends who play seemingly were unaware that the volume and tone controls are also extremely valuable in getting certain tones as well as significantly more control over ones playing.

[@Dougal78]

I’ve been umming and ahhing about what pickups to base my next guitar build around. Been looking at different single coils and humbuckers, and for some reason P90’s never came to mind. Consider my mind blown and also made up! Thx guys

[@DasDhaza]

You got me with the first few notes... -> shopping for a SG Junior

[@kmdracer]

Late to reply, but this video is why I started looking for a DC jr. I couldn't afford a Gibson, so I wound up with a Harley Benton. Exactly the sound I was looking for.

[@evanmiller2579]

My favorite all time pickup. I had been shying away a bit from them typically because of the hum generated. Any gig venue with so-so power and it can really hum at times to an annoying level. This morning, however, I was going for an Andy Summers type tone for a recording I was doing. Normally you would think tele all day. Grabbed my Les Paul Junior with a Duncan Antiquity in it and "BOOM" nailed it. Super versatile. Well done my friends.

[@uriteimwrong7317]

Evan Miller there’s a company that puts a hb in the bridge position and a P90 in the neck. Interesting. But it is a RocknRoll Relic and not sure you are a fan. You can get them non relic’d. The quality is top notch. I love them.

[@dunesbra]

Great video guys. Bravo!

[@Sonicblue1922]

Best show and best pickups. Thanks guys really, really enjoyed the show!

[@jhut5150]

I had always been a Strat and Tele Guy pretty exclusively....and then I got my ‘06 Gibson SG Classic with two p90’s. Total game changer. Now there is plenty of room in my life for all three.

[@ThatPedalShow]

Yes! That’s what we like. :0)

[@jhut5150]

That Pedal Show I’m still waiting for my epiphany moment with humbuckers. I’ve played for 27 years and though I love hearing some of my favorite players use humbuckers equipped guitars, but they never sound right in my hands.

[@slash2jimi]

That first opening lick is killer! That whole first major key Dickin around was just great!

[@richardjames6623]

Great show as always guys, thanks!

[@Hodgojr]

I haven't even watched the video, but if y'all talk shit about p90's I'm a be pissed. Greatest pickup ever invented. come on fight me I'm drunk

[@ThatPedalShow]

Yeah baby! Another round for the man in the P90 blouse!

[@Hodgojr]

oh hell yeah bb

[@rickmilam413]

Wow. Dan surprised me on the 125. Nicely done.

[@waltersobchek2465]

Excellent episode and subject!

[@rickhocks2616]

It's 2022 ... You guys are just SO 2018 ... But the playing and sounds here here is just REALLY FINE!!! I especially love the Jazz playing on the 1954 Gibson 125. I used to tune into a few of your videos - and this reminds me of how good you guys are - and how well you know your gear ...

18:21 and... all of a sudden... Dan plays the intro to one of my favourite XTC songs!!! ;)

[@sourceaudioeffects]

"All Of A Sudden It's Too Late!" Missed that the first time.

[@ThatPedalShow]

They’re my fave band. I play in a band called Tin Spirits with Dave Gregory :))

[@garystackhouse5787]

Oh yes, I know that very well, Daniel... I'm a huge fan!! Although I AM on a diet, so I'm a slightly less huge fan than a few weeks back :-P

[@paniccleo]

Yessss! Finally some 90 love! All about them. Once I got into 90s I couldn't go back to humbuckers.

[@nickfit3]

No pick 'n' mix this week really had me chomping at the bit for this! Thank you!

[@mikeadams4605]

The P-90 sound is just awesome and so versatile. I have a Casino for my Beatles, early Stones and Gary Clark Jr blues.....and a Les Paul Special for that fantastic P-90 solid body sound. Love the P-90's

[@80daytripper]

Mike Adams Owner of two Casino’s (standard one and a Inspired by John Lennon) here and just about to purchase LP Special now. P90’s rule!

[@ResoBridge]

That red coily lead Mick is using probably has significantly higher capacitance than Dan's cable. Might be an idea to use two identical cables for such comparisons.

[@franknguitars7671]

7:18 Killer walkin‘ bass Dan ... so cool!

[@johnetone]

I need to hear more of that I30! Please do a video of just that guitar ripping!!!

[@nigelpickett2471]

Watching this with my '61 reissue SG Junior in my sweaty paws, just got a '61 reissue SG Special with P90's (obviously) lots of P90 love in my house these days.

[@Glicksman1]

For what it’s worth, my fave pickup use to be the P-90 hands down. I have long been off Gibson humbuckers (still like most Gretsch Filtertrons, though) except for the brightest of the lot, such as some (not all) original PAFs which I am fortunate have in an excellent 2001 LP reissue. Still, the P-90 ruled my world for many years. Then came a new kid on the block, actually an old kid, the DeArmond Dynasonic. I always liked the Dynas but rarely came across them. Then I became s intrigued by the Gretsch Harrison Duo-Jet and I bought one. It has Dynas in it. Well, Katie bar the door, that’s the Gov’ner now. What tone in all three positions. Such character and presence. Just heaven. Give ‘em a try guys and you will be properly impressed, I assure you.

[@heycaptjack]

One of the most informative shows ever! Cheers!

[@bol.8749]

Who can hear that P90 roaring on "Mississippi Queen" and ever look back.

[@bensaunders38]

It’s a bit of a coincidence that I’m going to be swapping out my EMG’s for P90 sized humbuckers soon. Can’t wait to find out what it will sound like.

[@TheTaulusPaulus]

Hey Dan and Mick!! Brilliant show and thank you... I've a plug of some of my favorite pickups. Lindy Fralin makes Strat/Tele pickups called Steel Pole. They're like a regular Strat/Tele pickup had a baby with a P90. They come in two flavors. A 50% blend of the two, or 75% percent leaning towards the p90 tone profile. If you haven't heard them, I highly recommend them. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

[@jamjunkies3639]

There is a lot to be said for P90's; especially in SG's. Once had a Pete Townsend SG and good God it screamed. Clean sound was exquisite too. Good job guys! :)

[@stevesteve1965]

P90s are the "sleeper" of pickups. They do everything,always sound good. Semi and p90,nailed!

[@officialWWM]

P90s are the secret to great tone!

[@ezragonzalez8936]

What A revelation! lol

[@officialWWM]

[@whiskersb5296]

That acoustic-like stuff around 42 min reminded me of live Who stuff where Pete used to do lots of parts like that. Great show, as always.

[@supermanwithsilvergun4679]

I'm here for the TV yellow special. That thing sounded great no matter what pedal it was going through. I'm so excited that Gibson announced they are bringing it back as a core model!

[@HeliBenj]

Wow Dan can play jazz!

[@mattflickinger8151]

Benj Coltrane Jazzy D in the house!

[@Blaze22F]

*That walking bassline with chords though*

[@MrKeefelm]

Astonishing! I know these guys can play but they throw so many rock/ blues licks around that I tend to tune out from the playing and listen to the effects, tones etc, which I guess is the idea! But wow the jazz playing made me rewind and listen again!

[@HeliBenj]

MrKeefelm exactly, I don't normally focus on the playing too much because of what you said, and that means Mick and Dan are doing it well, allowing us to listen to the pedals. Mick stating at the ent that now he wants to play confirms they are holding back for the video, taking one for the team!

[@Defsolid]

If memory serves (was mentioned in one of the guys' videos), Dan is a jazz trained guitarist.

[@thomasraven]

By far, P90s are my fave pickups ever. I'm stunned by how few guitars are produced with them these days. Why is that? Do they just seem old-fashioned to people?

[@ColinShanahan]

Great video guys. Currently on a P90 journey to swap out the Mini Humbuckers in my 1975 Les Paul Deluxe for some P90's and came a cross this. Kudos to Dan's Jazz Chops 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@memopinzon]

I'd like to make good use out of a moment of synchronicity, as I am currently eyeing a guitar with P90s to thank you for your hard work on that Pedal Show. I've been watching religiously every Friday morning since the start. Great to know you guys are at the service of some of my musical heroes, you aren't that far behind them for me either. The amount of musical knowledge and laughs I've gotten out of your videos is vast and priceless. Kind regards and keep reaping the rewards and opportunities of your efforts!

[@ThatPedalShow]

Thanks Memo, that is super kind of you. We’re grateful and proud that you’ve been with us so long. We will endeavour to keep on entertaining you! :0)

[@memopinzon]

The guitar I'm after is a McCarty Soapbar and I just got to the part where Mick whips out a PRS Goldtop with P90s. What is this sorcery?!

[@TraneFrancks]

Crikey. It's amazing how dull the PRS P-90s sound vs the upgrade you installed later. Your upgrade was a hugely good decision. I think my LP Special's P-90s have the perfect match of hotness and dynamic range. It pushes the front end of the amp quite a bit, but then when you lay back and really approach the guitar with delicacy, you get an incredible range of expression. P-90s are my favourite pickup. God help me if I succumb to that teasing wench of a Murphy Labs '56 Gold Top at a shop here in Tokyo. The wife will lose it. 😂

[@steverolfeca]

I feel the same way about PRS Soapbar s, whether Core series or SE. They don’t honk like classic P-90’s, or have that fat, round note envelope like an overwound Epiphone Casino. The definition of Meh…

[@TheRycooder]

There's a depth in the P90's , like a different layer of sound that humbuckers don't have IMHO.

[@ConnecttoSoul]

Thank you for all of your nonstop information, imagination and in addition teaching to assist my trip to getting more consciously awake moreover spiritually connected.

[@Tomsdrawings]

Lovely show again, guys! So much beautiful guitars. Thank you. On a sidenote, I wonder what diode the Touch would house (so I can fiddle about with that one in my Pettydrive). Cheers!

[@carlhebert5052]

That Sg sound's amaaaaazzzinnng !!!!

[@Dave_Sacca]

Dan, you just blew my mind when you picked up Simon's '54 Gibson and started burning through that walking bass jazz progression. Fantastic

[@ThatPedalShow]

That guitar just bought it out of me

[@DickFitzwellJr]

I bought a Fender Pro Jr a while back and I went through a bunch of old TPS episodes to find a pedal or two to compliment the amp. More recently I bought a used Epi 57 reissue LP Jr with a Creamery p90 and I've found that I like it best now with no pedals and the amp cranked. Love P90s!

[@davidgrima5582]

I have installed Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P90s in my Les Paul custom. Absolutely magic!

[@mattgilbert7347]

Yeah, the sound of that Casino can be heard all over The Beatles "Revolver" album. Amazing tone. I have a set of P-90 'Buckers in my souped-up Epiphone SG and they certainly have that full compressed attack you guys talked about, but there's no hum (unless I coil-split them). When I got the guitar, I played a little of Gilmour's "5AM" through my Bassbreaker and it sounded pretty authentic to my ears. Less honk but plenty of fat "bite and bark" Great video, as always.

[@mattgilbert7347]

"Queenslander, it's important". Too true. Have a banana Dan :P

[@ThatPedalShow]

I’m starting to wonder if people from the south of England are the only people who don’t give a shit about where they come from. Maybe ironically enough because it’s among the most privileged places on Earth and we’ve never had an ounce of hardship. And therefor no pride either. Literally couldn’t give a toss about where I come from. Mick here. Dunno.

[@mattgilbert7347]

That Pedal Show Bloody Blair-ite neoliberals! When glorious revolution come, gulag for you! ;) JK You can take the Strat to gulag

[@mattgilbert7347]

That Pedal Show All joking aside Mick, you don't have to go too far back in history in order to find plenty of hardship and suffering in the South of England. However, I admire your non-ideological/non-partisan subjectivity. Kudos.

[@GitShiddy]

About time you busted out the Nik Huber! Haven't seen that since the Pedal Shed was all white picket with branded stickers that fell off.

[@ThatPedalShow]

[@camhaines5482]

Great show. Love P90s especially the P90 Staple Soapbar pickups - they sound awesome.

30:44 He starts playing and it's clearly the neck pickup while the bridge pickup is selected. The next shot he has the neck selected. *I feel special for noticing this.

Thanks for hitting all the reference equipment. Had an ac15 and bought a mex Tele and tube screamer clone. Love it. Have never in 30 years liked guitar like this. Bout to buy a used blues junior. P90 another reference item. Thanks again for your demos. Good stuff!
