Booster Guitar
EHX knockout or SD pickup booster(again)?
I'm really confuse over which one to get. I got a tele with stock pups and I wanted to have a humbucker and a thicker sound. I did consider changing pickups, but if i get a pedal, I can still use it for my the other guitar. I want to ask if the EHX knockout can really thicken the sound of tele and become a humbucker? Also, is the pickup booster practical as compared to EHX knockout?
Thanks for answering!
The best way for your tele to sound like it has a humbucker in it is for it to have a humbucker in it.
Unless you absolutely need something for your other guitar as well, and it isn't affordable to get new pickups for both guitars, just getting new pickups will sound much more convincing, realistic, and humbucker-y (I think I just made up a new word).
Seymour Duncan has a number of pickups that might work for you, including the Hot Rails.
