Pickup comparison with Danny Shields Crap Trap

Post by Jim Eibner »

In one of my guitars I have a Danny Shields 'Crap Trap' pickup and I really like the tone. Can anyone who has had experience with the Shields pickup recommend a currently available pickup whose tone compares favorably with the Crap Trap. Thanks.

The Telonics 84 is a reverse engineered clone of the Bob Hoffnar Tonealigner, which is the "son of" the Craptrap, but sadly out of production.
I'd personally rather find a used Tonealigner.
Telonics are fairly proud of theirs.
2 pedal steels, a lapStrat, and an 8-string Dobro (and 3 ukes)
More amps than guitars, and not many effects
