I'm considering swapping the neck Hi-Gain in my 2019 4003S for a reissue Toaster. I've scoured youtube looking for a side-by-side demo of a modern Hi-Gain (11k) and a reissue or vintage Toaster (7.4k) to show the difference in tone but can't find anything. Plenty of vids showing one or the other but I'd really like to hear a direct comparison of the Hi-Gain and Toaster in a more controlled setting. Can anyone post a demo or point me in the right direction? |

I have no videos for you, but I'll just offer my 2 cents. I have several Ricks with either/or and both, and I've changed some out because of my personal tastes. To be very general, the Hi-gains may be slightly louder, but mostly in the midrange frequencies. They have a tight, punchy sound and work well with distortion. The Toasters are much more "Hi-Fi" sounding; a bit 'scooped' in the middle with a deep, clean bass register and a very clear, sparkling high end. For most Rock music, I like the Hi-gains, and for pretty much everything else, the Toasters. |
