Click the Icon to listen to some sound clips of the new guitar... It's played through a '67 Fender Champ/Weber Speaker, volume set at 5, and a Real Tube Reverb.

Both sets of samples begin with an example of the passive pickup only, then using the Unity Gain Buffer.  Each group goes through each of the five switch/pup positions.  Volume on the guitar is 10, tone controls are at 10.  The volume is increased for the UGB samples to compensate for what I believe is referred to as the "Psycho-acoustic effect", which simply is the way "louder" appears to sound "better" to us, especially in comparisons.

Group 1:
Passive only
UGB on, volume same as above
UGB on, volume on amplifier turned up to compensate for the UGB loss

Group 2:
Passive only
UGB on, volume on amplifier turned up to compensate for the UGB loss
