This here is the Seymour Duncan Perpetual Burn trembucker, developed with lots of Jason Becker DNA in there. OK, just tone DNA. It's an Alnico 5 at the core, it sounds blistering with drive, very Distortion-like but due to its non-ceramic nature, there's a sweet top end polish. Being an alnico pedigree, the pickup sounds sweet, clean. In summary- the PB can get as hot as it wants to be but it's not forgetting its alnico roots.

How would you say it compares to a JB? Ive always thought the jb lacked a little low end.
JB has a specific midrange spike you either love or hate. this midrange enhancement works well with many guitar types- LP/ super strat/ etc.
The PB has no such enhancements, it's just a super alnico 5 pickup. if you are used to high output pickup voicings, you'd detect that PAF voicing you prefer :-)
Maybe its time I give my screamin demon a rest.
Screamin' Demon was my first SD pickup & something of a secret weapon of sorts when all else fails. I still love it for that spongy midrange :-)
