Sound Samplers for the CSG Heraldry 'Super 10' humbucker set. 

Super 10s are wound to bursting with 42 AWG copper coil to give a resistance reading of around 10k ohms. This gives a unique quality that makes cleans sound huge and warm while allowing things to get really aggressive and nasty when you add some dirt. 

Super 10 bridge features an AlNiCo 8 magnet, this produces a high output sound that retains clarity in highs and character associated with more common AlNiCo magnets. 
Super 10 neck has an AlNiCo 5 magnet which yields a powerful, thick lead tone. 

Clean sounds are full and rich with highs rolled back slightly. 
These humbuckers love dirt and focus distorted sounds into a tight, aggressive growl with plenty of spit and attitude. 

Ideal for some real nasty heavy rock. 

Recorded with black covered Super10 set installed in an Ibanez ART. 

Amp: Bugera 333 Infinium (EL34s)
Effects: Ibanez Tube Screamer, MXR Carbon Copy, Mooer Shimverb

Metal covers on humbuckers can help tailor the sound of the pickup, changing the timbre of the sound, reducing boominess in bass frequencies or removing harshness. 

Here I have some rough recordings of a Super 10 humbucker set with different covers: No cover, Standard 6 hole cover, and a solid cover. 

With no cover the Neck humbucker is extremely boomy while the bridge is a tad harsh. 

With a standard cover we not only add a new inflection to the sound, but we reduce the boominess while retaining an aggressive sound. 

The solid cover provides a much mellower, creamy sound from both pickups while retaining much of the saturation.
