How is "hot" defined??

[Noseferatu]

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???

I thought hot was just loud, or high output.

 

[Bass_Pounder]

Never heard of a rig being described as sounding hot.

As stated above.............HOT - refers to output signal strength.

Option B - ask Paris Hilton

 

[JimmyM]

paris doesn't say "that's hot" anymore. now her saying is "that's huge." i think her saying should be "that's about all for my 15 minutes of fame," but somehow or another she keeps it going. go figure.

 

[Noseferatu]

Paris Hilton is the antithesis of hot.


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

Yeah, like hot pickups, they're just higher output pickups. You also might here something is "hot" in the mix, just means it's too loud.

"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.

And as everyone knows, we just can't have that...

A hot pickup has more output. That means that it's got more windings, which means it has higher treble response.

'Scuse my meaningless quest for clarification, dude.

 

[RickenBoogie]

Yeah, hot pups means more signal to the preamp. Hot preamp signal means more signal to the powerstage. In general, hot= a high signal, (amplitude).

Lol. Excuse MM's sense of humor, more like it.

 

[rbonner]

Hot refers to the good looking chick who digs the bassist in the band. Any other gear that's hot means stolen...

Actually more windings will give a hotter signal but at the expense of loosing treble response. I've rewound many pickups and have experimented with alot of different winds and wire gauges.
