Thanks for the reply, blackthorn (COOL user name, by the way). One other thing: I just (last night) stumbled onto the (Jason Becker) Perpetual Burn bridge pickup. It seems well suited for many styles, similar to the Pegasus. Have you had a chance to try it out, and if so, how does it compare to...

Thanks, blackthorn---I'm assuming your guitar is the same wood as mine, mahogany with a maple cap. I assume those Duncans don't sound too dark in it, and are the highs reasonably crisp? I know the mids are somewhat prominent, but I don't want them taking over the sound with the mahogany. That is...

Well, Dusty, I know you're interested in this thread, but it's kinda drying up. I'm trying to decide between a Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient combo, or DiMarzio Illuminator (neck & bridge). It might be a while until I decide, buy them, and install them. Stay tuned (if you have nothing better to...

Wow, I expected more response, considering it is a question regarding a PRS guitar, and on a PRS forum. Anyway, since my original posting, I've narrowed it down to the following: Dimarzio--Illuminator (bridge & neck), or Steve's Special bridge with Gravity Storm neck. Seymour Duncan--Custom or...

I'm looking to replace the stock pickups (PRS SE HFS bridge, SE Vintage Bass neck) on my PRS SE Floyd. GREAT guitar, especially for the money, and the pickups aren't terrible, but I do want to upgrade. It has a mahogany body (with maple top), and rosewood fingerboard. I definitely want to keep...

Thanks to everyone for their input---I've decided on a used 7-knob Menatone Howie that appears to be in excellent condition, for $250 (with free shipping). I haven't been able to find out much about the Dumbledore, and the Zendrive seems rather close to the Simble, albeit with some differences...

I'm all over that---already been in touch with him. Tag's reputation precedes him!

Also, what about the Menatone Howie, especially the 7 or 8 knob versions? I know there are different "flavors" of Dumble, and that there is no substitute for the actual amp. The Simble certainly does a good job at approximating many Dumble traits, but I'd like another one that has (like the...

I currently have a Mad Professor Simble for Dumble tones, and really like it---definitely a keeper. Has anyone compared it to the Weehbo Dumbledore? The Weehbo looks more tweakable, but I've heard it's not as transparent. Burgs really liked it, and I generally value his assessments. Can anyone...

I think I figured it out---I'm guessing that his user name would go where it says "recipient users"---is that right?

Thanks so much for the tip---this should be a no-brainer, but I can't figure out how to do that on this forum. If you could please advise---I guess I'm still in the Dark Ages with some of these forum things.

Hey, Tag I'm hoping you'll receive this. I've read many of your posts and watched your demos---always very informative. You seem to be one of the "go to" people for all things Dumble. Have you had a chance to actually try the Mad Professor Simble yet? I know that you had one ordered a while...
