Rains pick ups

Post by Keith White »

Hi all. My rains had a 705 on it ,it was great but a little too powerfull using a hilton pedal so i swapped it for an E66 unit . each to ones own settups,the 705 is still a good pickup for the Rains units.Regards Keith White.UK.
Sho-Bud 'LDG', Sho-Bud 'The Professional', Rains SD10, Fessenden D10, Hilton Pedal, Peavey Session 500, Peavey 112, Lots of PV PA, And of course, the BJS Bar (for the best tone)! Love all Steel Guitars!

XR-16 on one and the other has 705

Both sound great....the 705 seems to put a bit of that ole PP bite in her tone
