Huber Orca 59 with Mojo NOS 59 PAFs

Описание: I modified my Huber Orca 59 with a couple of special humbuckers. Marc from Mojo pickups in the UK must have unearthed a reel of old wire from the era that birthed the Golden Era™ Les Paul guitars.
Maybe an abandoned engineering works in a northern industrial town, or a ghostly transformer factory lying in dilapidated condition just outside Manchester perhaps?
Wherever he found it, he made some pickups with it and created a PAF replica. he makes great pickups and I have heard these in a Les Paul owned by my pal Brian. They sound fantastic.

I decided to take out the Häussel humbuckers as I wanted unpotted ones. The Häussel ones are good I have to say but I wanted the extra top end airiness that unpotted pickups exhibit and wanted to try the Mojo. I had to lose the 4 wire coil split function but I never really used it anyway and in the new ones went.

I did an earlier demo with the Orca 59 into my Fender Twin Reverb so decided to play through that again and you can watch the first one to get a sense of what the Häussel pickups sounded like.

I think the Mojo NOS PAFs sound amazing!

I do some clean playing into the Twin Reverb on the vibrato channel 1 on a setting of 4 and later turn on a Benson pre-amp for some dirt. I recorded without any post effects and tried to be as true to the sound in the room as possible with a Rode NT1-A and an SM57 going into a Presonus Studio68C then Studio One.

I bought everything with my own money and am sponsored by no-one!
