Lovepedal products & humbucker equipped guitars?

I just picked up a Gibson SG Faded today and noticed that it made my Pro Junior sound way better than my teles do--- distorts much earlier and gets a great raw rock tone.

It made me wonder how humbucker equipped guitars sound with Lovepedal products. I tried a Lovepedal Woodrow a few months ago (5E3 tweed cranked tone) with my tele and Pro Jr and '59 Bassman RI and was less than impressed. I ended up selling it for what I paid for it.

I wonder if the extra oomph from a humbucker (and a Gibson at that, they just seem to have an inherent big sound to them) would have made the pedal sound better.

Anyone use Lovepedals with humbuckers and can offer their opinions?

keep in mind that even though the pedal marketing says it's 5e3 tweed tone, it's still a 9 volt pedal. Coming from someone who builds pedals for a living... it just "ain't" the same. They don't react the same to impedances, signals, or anything like that. the similarities are in eq and gain staging. As far as sounding "better", there's alot of opinion in there... if you are looking for that humbucking tone than the gibson is your guitar no matter what amp or pedal you are playing through.

Hope that helps! :)

I'm going for the tweed sound more than the humbucker sound--- but a humbucker through the tweed sound would be most delicious for rock.

I may end up ordering a COT50 straight from Sean since the only other place that carries his stuff is out of stock.

It won't be the tweed sound, but a plexi ain't gonna sound too shabby!

I'm seriously thinking of getting either a COT50 AND a Woodrow, or a COT50 and a Fulltone OCD and then I have all my bases covered w/ overdrive for rock.

A little late maybe, but yes, my Lovepedals (Low Driver and Eternity) both sound better to my ears with my Heritage 535 than with the Tele. The Low Driver is particularly nice, most natural od pedal I've ever heard for low gain, on the edge of breakup to mild overdrive. Unfortuanately that was one of his limited run pedals from about a year ago, but they pop up used from time to time.
