There are two kinds of Tele players: country pickers for whom twang is king, and players of blues and rock who need less high-end snap and more low-end muscle. We’re not talking imitation humbucker-sound here. The Pre B-1 maintains a lot of the basic character of the Tele bridge position, but the sound is bigger. It can still cut through a mix, but it will fill more space, as well. It also has about 25% more power than a stock Tele bridge pickup. That means thicker overdrive and more sustain from your favorite tube amp.
