Having two pickups with sounds that are worlds apart turns out to work brilliantly. The Lace Sensor sings with bright sparkle that also carries enough boom and punch to resemble a P-90. The X2-N is very hot and 'raunchy' -ready to shred or scream. But utilizing the blend knob is where the magic begins. This guitar's tone is extremely versatile; simply by varying the amount of each pickup, or fiddling with that coil-tap knob, you get all sorts of crazy cool tonal variations. And with the right overdrive (say, like the 'Warp' channel on my Hughes & Kettner Matrix 100, a Danelectro Fab-Tone, or a Big-Muff Pi) the volume knob is a very effective gain control -right on the guitar!
