“I think you're kind of missing the point. It's already clearly established that yes, we can see differences between pickups, but when we take the visual away, can we actually hear them?”

Around it

  1. 2:35 Hi, CowSystem. Thank you so much for writing in and letting us know your feelings.
  2. 2:39 Anyone with ears can hear the difference between actives and passives, maybe not in a blind test.
  3. 2:43 I think you're kind of missing the point. It's already clearly established that yes, we can see differences between pickups,
  4. 2:51 but when we take the visual away, can we actually hear them? Not when we're playing the guitar, but actually listening.
  5. 2:57 And I think we got something pretty conclusive there. The overall point is if we draw that to a logical conclusion,
  6. 3:03 and we're looking to attempt to improve our guitar sound in one way or another, switching from an active to a passive pickup might not be the solution we're doing.
