Have been trying to use the GK pickup with the triple play since it mounts more easily but I've noticed it's output is substantially lower than the original pickup. Anyone else tried and noticed this or perhaps it's just my GK unit.

Quoteperhaps it's just my GK unit.

This is correct and normal, you must adjust (boost) the String sensitivity in the FTP GUI to compensate for the lower gain of the GK-3 PU.

 does it work as well as the original FTP pickup? have you tried it ?

Elantric

Zero time to try this myself.
I anticipate the original FTP will ALWAYS work better than a third party hex PU  substitution.
But I figure knowing you have options for using third party hex Pickups on some tricky tight  / limited clearance installations is good info to share.
