Seymour Duncan Parallel Axis Distortion PATB-2 (This Pickup Is SICK)

Otso Kirvelä

“I'd go with a PATB-2 Parallel Axis Distortion, they're designed to beef up a thin floyded superstrat to more closely resemble a fat Les Paul.”

“Tight, bright, punchy, with great harmonics, but very different from other Parallel Axis pickups or the Distortion..”
