Q: What wiring options are available with the Eruption Humbucking Neck Pickup?

The Kramer Eruption Humbucking Neck Pickup features 4-conductor wiring plus a shield, offering great flexibility. This allows for advanced wiring options such as coil-splitting, series/parallel wiring, or phase switching. These options let you expand your tonal palette, from classic humbucker sounds to brighter, single-coil-like tones.

Q: How does the high 16K DC resistance affect the sound of this neck pickup?

A 16K DC resistance is quite hot for a neck pickup, resulting in a higher output signal that can push your amplifier harder for more natural overdrive and sustain. This gives the Eruption a thicker, more aggressive voice than typical neck pickups, while the Alnico V magnet ensures clarity and dynamic response.

From marathon tapping runs to screaming pinch-harmonic-laden riffs, the Kramer Eruption humbucker is one of Sweetwater’s top picks for the gain-obsessed guitarist who clamors for high-octane, old-school tone.

I was worried about the high output. This pick up is really amazing. It is clean and bright enough to play great clean rhythm. It is beautifully articulate without any mud or a ridiculous scoop that makes your guitar disappear in A live setting. I have it pared with a 498t in the bridge. This is what the 496r should have been. I'm not a review writer. Pickups are so subjective, I hope this is helpful.
