Bridge position, A5, 19.6K, 11.1h

        "Hades" began as a collaborative experiment between Carondelet and a notable New Orleans metal guitarist endorsed by a major pickup manufacturer. The artist was curious if a passive pickup could be conceived that would replicate the tone and power of his 9V-powered, preamp-driven active bridge position humbucker. Jeff's response was the ultra high output "Hades" humbucker. The artist liked Hades but ultimately rejected it, deeming it too touch sensitive and too harmonically alive compared to his active pickups. Seeing that most hard rock guitarists want those same dynamic attributes in their pickup, Jeff continued to replicate that artist prototype for others. And in the process, satisfy thrash, doom, black and sludge players seeking a very aggressive yet very musical drivetrain. In the case of a duet, Jeff recommends pairing Hades with a neck position Carondelet Modern 5.
