Is "hotness" an increase in mids??? I'm just curious, because I know what hotness SOUNDS like, but I don't know what it actually is.
OR, is it when the tubes start to grind and give it that gritty rock-type of tone??? |

As stated above.............HOT - refers to output signal strength.
Option B - ask Paris Hilton

Anyway, so, basically, it's just a gain increase??? |

| | | | "Hot" could mean a whole bunch a things. Unless you use in the context of a confusing sentence you read it in/heard someone repeat, you could have a really really meaningless thread that will go on for days and days.

I've rewound many pickups and have experimented with alot of different winds and wire gauges. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
