Overdrive Humbucker

View Cart

The Humbuckers themselves don't actually overdrive, but if you're looking for a great sound when using distortion, these are the ones you want. Typically it works best as a bridge pickup. They have a high output with great mids, highs and attack. They feature am AlNiCo 8 magnet, which is aggressive in pull a charge. They can be wound to your specs depending on the output you are looking for.

Style Suggestions

The Porter Overdrive Humbuckers are great for High Gain application and modern rock from metal to alternative. They are specifically for the players who don't really use the clean channel much. They are more aggressive than the other type of models, and are best suited for a bridge pickup. A neck pickup would work, if you like to use that pickup for distortion as well. The overdrives are made specifically for those who like a lot of distortion in their amps, pedals and signal.
