At first glance, it looks like a L710 but only has one row of magnets.

Looks like a BL 910 ... a little darker sounding than the 710

| I've been, pretty much, a single coil guy for a long time. I had a L710 on the first steel guitar I owned(Emmons LL2) and I was very friendly with it. But I think now that the L910 is my new favorite pickup. Of course, I use a Hilton volume pedal and a Sarno Blackbox. |

| I have an L910 that I used briefly on a Carter. In my practice room I loved the sound of it, very sweet and musical with sort of a compressed aspect. Onstage however, it was just too dark to cut through and be heard well against the other instruments. |

| The BL910 is what John Hughey recommended to me to use on a Zum I once owned. Sounded really good on there. Good sounding pickup. |

I don't mean to hijack the thread or sound like a wisenheimer, but what is the advantage/purpose of using both a Black Box and a Hilton pedal?
Isn't the Black Box a buffer?
Isn't the Hilton pedal buffered?
There wouldn't be anything wrong with doing it, but is there something that is added by the Black Box?
Thanks in advance. |

@ AJM
Tremendous advantage! The Blackbox has a tube and "Vari-Z" that gives a broad range of control over the way the pickup loads and affects the tone. I used my Blackbox for time with my pot pedal until I got fed up with pots and strings. When I got a Hilton, I drew from the wealth of information on this forum and discovered on my own how beneficial the Blackbox would be to the Hilton.
