[@AJC-jo3ds]

Pick ups are irrelevant, this guys playing is Awesome!!!
I’m going to start practicing that riff, love it!!

[@ougigaming8710]

Dude I just wanted to add this is one badass tone.. I can tell you've been putting in the time over the years but man I've been at at 43 years and I can tell when a guy has a good touch on his instrument way to go brother Rock on

[@baystreetblues]

I have a 2001 HH Super Strat. They were sold with the PG in the bridge, and ‘59 at the neck. The PG in my Strat sounds awesome clean. Actually bell like. One of the best pickups I have heard on any guitar.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

I also like the wild nature of the sound

[@michaelzimmerman6957]

Dude that sounds totally awesome, I love the way you play guitar, outrageous !

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Thanks buddy :-)

[@rickmarteney6353]

Wow, killer tone on both PUPs!!! Great song and phenomenal playing!!! I was weighing the JR vs Distortion. But something about that loose distortion of the Pearly Gates just cuts right through and warms everything up. Great job writing, playing, and gear demonstration!!!!

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

thank you, the PG is a very interesting sensor and fits perfectly
to the single

[@benjamincrockett3680]

You're a great player bro. Hope I can get to that level. Ive decided after watching your video on the Pearly Gates for my Nick Johnston HSS!
Thanks man

[@deHelli]

YESSS Cool! Great Riff

[@samueldubois9790]

Really nice groove! Great playing 👍🏼

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Thanks

[@Brykk]

Thanks for the video. Great playing.

[@rustyfoxcz]

I thank you

[@user-qc8tc4xn3v]

Many Thanks, I chose Pearley Gates for my Stratocaster, I'm very happy, the sound is amazing.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

You chose wisely, Pearley Gates is truly very suitable for the single coils.

[@jdbertel33]

Your low gain is my high gain, but this demo sold me on the PG in my #2 guitar.

[@alexsargeson]

Nice playing. Love the mojo

[@letthatsinkin7879]

Both sound killer. I would love to record a track with the JB and then double that track with Pearly Gates.

[@daveg5340]

The SH4s are much better for high gain, but I prefer the Pearly Gates for the low gain stuff. That's what I've got on my Strat.

[@cesrlibel396]

Jb h4 amazing...both great sound😊

[@Hector-GS]

What a beautiful pickup (JB), I have 2 of them, one in my PRS CE 24 and other in my LTD EC-1000. Nice video!

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

thank you

[@dustysteidl2581]

Amazing Playing dude, this is prime example of a Very Good Guitar player making any guitar shine, both sounded awesome but decided to give the Pearly Gates a Shot after seeing this Ty 🤘

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

thank you when i get a suitable guitar for JB the pearly gates will go back to Fender... It just fits the singles. I love this sound😆🤘

[@mikecorey8370]

Great job!!

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Thanks

[@a.d.5649]

Yeah the jam got me to sub 👍 greetings from Texas. PS - the Pearly sound way better on high gain people saying otherwise need to get out of town lol those things DooM hard without all the wimpy high-end.

[@pheonix3302]

Awesome playing. Love pearly gates.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

thanks, I left it in this strat :-)

[@bleepblabloop]

I’ll be damn. The PG has an upper midrange bump that sits in the mix better. I can hear how the guitar would stand out more without having to be louder. The JB is slightly darker, which surprised me. I’ve always known the JB to sound midrange-y to me.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

it's the way you write, I see it the same way JB is a bit more cultured PG is total wilderness 😁

[@vmathias2023]

That is one of the BEST tones that I have ever heard. Is that George Lynch under that beard? Lol.

[@jackofalltradestv9814]

make more videos sir! you are a phenomenal player.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

thank you for the compliment 🙂

[@stratolestele7611]

I was going to,mention in my last post that I have an Ibanez that came with a DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge. Yo no quiero!

[@UncleBillyBob732]

Lord, there's a Rusty Fox sniffin round my chicken house. I believe it's time to let my dogs out.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Yes :-D

[@alexsargeson]

Having owned both, I'd go with the JB 🙏

[@stratolestele7611]

I really like 'em both. I've got JBs in three guitars, but I definitely want a set of Pearly Gates for an SG that's in need.

[@LucMackowiak]

I just bought yesterday the JB for my strat 👍

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

👌

[@patmurphy7266]

Wow!! This is "low" gain?! They're already screaming!! Epic tone!

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

I know my gain assessment is a bit different😃

[@drywater4935]

nice tone and playing man.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Thanks :-)

[@PunchLine-Studio]

Jam!

[@kdog3980]

Bruh that was siiiiiiiiick

[@ougigaming8710]

PG for me. In my Les Paul.

[@AdamCharlton]

I think the PG sounded more crunchy

[@heartlander4715]

Nice tone.

[@ujjaltamang399]

I 'll replace my fender player strat MIM bridge hunbucker pickup with PG , may be it will be suitable

[@ShortyBDM]

Need friends like you ha ha. Awesome playing by far, as someone said here, pickups are irrelevant in this video, you kick ass dude.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Thank you very much for the compliment, I appreciate people who have ears :-)

[@1lunesta]

First off, killer playing and tone with both!!! My question is what time pots do you have 250K or 500K? Looking to put a Humbucker in my strats bridge.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Thanks! The guitar is a Fender Highway one with the original potentiometers, but I don't know their values.

[@1lunesta]

Appreciate the reply!

[@WDeeGee1]

Now put an A8 magnet in that PG, you won't believe it!

[@Pasko12]

Great demo! How does the pearly gates match that highway 1 singles in middle and neck?

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Just excellent, they fit together like a glove :-)

[@kingarthur1776]

Right the fuck on brother!!! Great riffage

[@joshuapeterson7954]

Forget the pickups, where can I find fingers like that???? 😂 AMAZING PLAYING!!

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

thank you very much :-)

[@adhaskym.a9536]

You can actually buy those, fingers. They is a store called PRACTISE.

[@Harrysound]

got my foot stomping , excellent.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

thank you

[@williamduckworth305]

I thought the pearlies carried just alittle bit more weight..which means the jb is coming out of my Bob Moore..lol..btw that strat was big and mean with both pups . I might have to pull my hot rail in the bridge pos on my strat..great tone dude

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

now I bought an LP guitar for the first time in my life and understood for the first time what a Fender guitar actually means and how to play it. Thank you for your opinion .

[@gavphil3383]

What do you prefer? Deciding on which to put in my PRS McCarty. Thank you!

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

I love the wildness of singles and PG fits them perfectly. I put the SH 4 in a Les Paul. Everything is variable and depends on taste :-)

[@ChrisBarnette-zk8iy]

Killer jamming bro..

[@deHelli]

Pearly Gates wins great Tone! For me!

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

yes, i ended up leaving it in that guitar :-)

[@vidalsh]

Good player. Both of them sounds fantastic. PG sounds more darker and with mids a litte boosted and runs better for leads. In the other hand JB sounds more balanced and brighter and runs awesome for rythm. (By the way Highway 1 HSS has 250k pots, I think;). Maybe you could try the 59 hybrid custom (both worlds, lead & rythm)

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Hi, thanks, I'll look into it. We'll see what it does :-)

[@vlat74]

nice

[@okioktamiyuda3205]

Its regular pearly gates or pearly gates plus?

[@rickybobby9610]

The pearly gates pickup that comes in strats are not the same as regular pearly gates. The strat ones are slightly hotter and have a alnico 5 magnet

[@mdhmsmith]

Hard to beat the tone of the PG’s in the “low gain” opening riff. To my ear I thought the SH4 was better with high gain.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

yeah, classic rock sound

[@GoldMagicMetal]

Классно звучат оба датчика

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

да, спасибо, это было трудное решение :-)

[@reno145]

Pearly Gates all the way.

[@BITESIZEJONES]

Never found pearly gates in a strat to be a good idea. In a Les Paul or SG I highly recommend.

[@MackTheKnifeSlowly]

PG sounded nicer to me. Rounded off highs, less squeaky/stringy. The JB would better suit a darker/heavier guitar I think 🤔

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

I feel the same way :-)

[@lzep56]

I have the JB on a Les Paul and a Melody Maker and that's quite true, it gives nice bass and mediums but not as muddy as some classic PAF. Treble gets quite agressive sometimes but i adapt the eq or roll down the tone a little and it sounds perfect. They are also more versatile than the PG.

[@gwhiz3708]

I like the Pearly Gates best because it smokes without the added risk of cancer 😜

[@AfonsoGuitar]

PG has more clear and open tone. JB has more punch and compress .

[@janvik7408]

Furt ti to ide, synku!

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

thank you ... Vlastně dík vole 😂

[@IGORQWERTY555]

JB

[@bartoszlewandowski3760]

Hello! Great tone! What kind of jcm 900 is in this video?Could you describe Your chain? Greetings !

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

Hello and thank you, the chain is simple ... Guitar - cable - JCM 900 nothing more :-) I play through the 2100 SLX model. Vintage 30, SM 57.

[@VanjaSpirin]

PG is more articulate with a better gain and overtone structure.

[@antoniomonteiro1203]

The more the gain the less guitars and pickups become similar in tone.

[@rustyfoxcz6046]

yes yes, it's strange

[@timstudio1]

Pearly gates wins.
