Nitro Arc 6

I went to Beez's to get my (Tesla) VR-Nitro installed in my Spector Arc 6 Pro yesterday. Rico & Faizal were there as well & we talked for at least an hour... The former pickups in this guitar were the VR-60s; nothing wrong with them, they absolutely thrill when it comes to vintage crunch but I'm in need of distortion overkill.

I hear a balanced output from the Nitros, that's one of the reasons I like this pickup model (have it in 2 other guitars) & a closer look revealed the above- staggered pole pieces.

I've included the Orange Drop cap & a push-pull coil split switch in this guitar as well.

TESLA's VR-Nitro humbuckers are also in these other guitars of mine:
  • Schecter: Omen 6
  • Brian Moore: i91

is VR-nitro the heaviest in tesla's passive range?

hey sub just curious, how's the vr60 neck tone?? is it bright?? or does it turn to mud when u stack the gain esp through a mahogany body...

GZ: none in the mean time. however, my American Standard Telecaster used to have Fender's Delta Tone control as a default feature.

Ijau: heaviest? he he... the TESLA with the meanest character now (passive) is the VR- Extreme.

tan: the VR-60 is an absolute cruncher, if you love those Gibson humbuckers, you'd like this one. i rank it above a typical Gibson pickup as it manifests a tad more clarity. if you've heard Bare Knuckle's Crawler in action, the VR-60 can live up to that :-)

Ijau D. Koceng said...

...and which tesla(s) are equivalent with d'marzio super distortion?

subversion.sg said...

no an exact match but the Nitro is very close to the Super Distortion :-)
