A Little Thunder V2 pickup vs Boss OC3 with Audio Comparisons
Lots of players have OC3s on their pedal boards, but don't really understand how bad they sound. There are several great reviews demonstrating the V2 A Little Thunder pickup in electric guitars. I made this review (not paid) to highlight how A Little Thunder V2 is an amazing addition to an acoustic guitar set up. I hope the isolated direct comparisons of these 2 octave sounds helps you decide which is best for your rig.
If you're not into talking- skip ahead to the markers labeled "AUDIO" for sound examples.

From June 26, 2022 performance in Whitefish. Montana. 2 years late, but better than never... I didn't post this video after the show because I was disappointed with the video quality- ISO settings were off and auto focus on Lumix Cameras is no bueno. But, here it is anyway- hope you enjoy the video and the amazing talent that ATP assembles to create these fantastic shows here in Whitefish.

    I installed the Thunder V2 pickup in the bridge of my Fender MIM FSR Jaguar, and i think it sounds amazing. I did the installation myself, no prior soldering experience, and it turned out pretty decent! The separation of the bass signal is my favorite thing about ALT. I’m currently using it with a Scarlett interface and running it through a VST bass rig to track bass for an EP, and the sound is phenomenal. It lets me get a real sounding bass tone that complements my guitar rig, which is amazing for jamming and riff-writing, without interfering with the main guitar tone. The sound is accurate, full, and clean-much better than any octave pedal I’ve used. The 2 octave mode is great for effects like bass drops and slides. I tune all my guitars to Open D/C#, which works very well with ALT. It allows me to strum full chords and play riffs while maintaining that solid root bass note. The humbucker sounds pretty good on electric, but with my pots, i need the tone rolled back, and it doesn't blend well at all with the stock neck pickup while in the middle position. Swapping that neck pickup out soon though. I had to place the battery under the pickup in the cavity, which raised it and required me to adjust my action. I switched to lighter strings to compensate, but it’s something to keep in mind as some guitars may not have enough depth for the battery placement. Wish the LEDs were dimmer, they are insanely bright anywhere but a stage. Also, I think they should of kept the ALT logo on the pickup, it looked better. Overall, this is one of the most innovative pieces of musical equipment out there. Great in depth video!

    The OC5 has a low priority mode as well. Though it ain't perfect, and takes a bit of practice. I've had my ALT V2 on order since '21. Your video gives me a little hope that it WILL indeed arrive! 🤞🏻
