Yeah, most likely, though I'm sure some will just "have to" have the IIC+ due to the prestige of the amp.

For $4k, it damn well better.

Don't just mess with the pickup height. Also mess with the screw pole pieces.

JB, 59, Jazz, 85, 60A, SA, et al didn't get the memo, I guess.

I'd suggest maybe lowering pickup until it starts to sound just a touch weak, then moving it closer about half a turn. Then use the screw pole pieces to get it closer for a stronger signal and to give more clarity. Maybe try something like this: Measure the slug pole piece coil to get it between 8-1...

I'm usually an EMG guy. Got some passives in my ol Peavey Wolfgang that I also get along well with.

I'll try that. I wish it just had a simple on/off function. That is the thing I dislike the most about the DD-500 and GT-1000 Core delays.

I have the Flight Time delay. It's been my main delay for the past 2-3 years. I've been A/Bing the SDE and FT to see which one I like the most. The SDE does a lot more than the FT but I think the FT sounds a bit better. So the jury is still out. As for the ducking, I don't have a DD500 here to look...
