I spent last night & this morning enjoying the fullsome goodness of what the PATB Distortion has to offer- superb drive response.However, this pickup is very much a master of a solitary trade as the label suggests: Distortion.The PATB-2 had no problems manifesting great distorted tone through all my amps, it particularly excelled with my solidstate Sound Drive amp, not that this amp is the exclusive pairing for the two wares but more attributable to the aforementioned amp's inherent good tones.
Through my all-tube Marshall JVM, the pickup manifested some racous midrange responses which would please the death/ black metal horde.
Finally, the PATB2 did well with pedals at the distortion helm. It was deliberately made to satiate my (distortion) overdose; I hooked up my tube equipped Duncan Twin Tube Mayhem which was boosted by Guyatone's OD2+, into the Epiphone Valve Jr head. What the PATB2 retained in all settings is clarity. If you peddle bass notes throughout a good part of your song, you'd appreciate this capacity. Good distorted tones often mud out at higher volume settings which is rather prevalent during live shows.

OT.
Hey sub,
we've seen your guitars/amps preferences, how bout cables? Do you have any (preferences)?
cheers,

i'm happy with anything that suppresses noise. currently using Canare cables (with Amphenol plugs) which transfer signals without much colouring.
