Newest Porter Pickups Review

Here's a review from Ben of Novice Nation who uses Porter Pickups:

"I tossed these overdrive pickups in my Firebird. I was blown away by the clarity and attitude. It cut through well, but wasn't overly distorted. For me, honestly, distortion is sometimes the wrong word to use. I like the aggressiveness of this pickup, but it is somehow clear at the same time. I think it's simply because it just sounds RIGHT. It's mean and loud, but it's a mature sound. it gives a good amp, a proper signal. It improved the forwardness of my sound a lot too, and with out the brittle sound you usually get from cheap "distortion" pickups. Sweeeeet.Thanks!"

Newest Porter Pickup Reviews

Name: D.J. (Lewisville, TX)
Pickup: Porter Classic Humbucker
Position: Bridge
Comments: "This is a GREAT bridge pickup. I ordered mine w/ a 9.2k resistance, and it can growl and still retain a vintage tone. I ordered this w/ a Smooth neck, and together they are heaven."

Name: D.J. (Lewisville, TX)
Pickup: Porter Smooth Humbucker
Position: Neck
Comments:
"This is hands down the best neck humbucker I've ever used. The sound is three-dimensional- very fat and round. You'll be playing blues and jazz licks all day in this position."
