Pickups Comparison 2: PRS HFS vs. Seymour Duncan SH-4 (Marshall JMP 2203)
What players and reviewers say
On the Gibson Dirty Fingers
“Of the two the DF is closer to the SD than the DD.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Super Distortion, Seymour Duncan Distortion (SH-6)
“Well first of all, the Dirty Fingers is going to be WAY hotter and WAY more aggressive than the Angus sugnature.”
On the PRS HFS
“HFS > too harsh/wiry with lots of treble, if set lower then suddenly underpowered and dry (probably due to being high output/ceramic and having this click that i hate in ceramics).”
“I changed the HFS to a Custom in my CU24 and the tone while slightly more open in the mids was very simular..”
