i have a gamp;l legacy alder wood strat, i have a jazz model in the neck and a duncan distortion in the bridge, the duncan distortion seems noisy to me and it has no powerful low end, is this normal or could it be:
A. the alderwood tone
B. my amp: line 6 flextone III xl is it guttless when it comes to low end
C. could it be somthing in the wiring

it seems wired right, the jazz sounds great, both my pups are wired to be split or full humbucker when the distortion is in split position it sound like a tele i love it, but in full it rocks, but is kind of guttless in the low end, anyone have any advice on what it could be?, i had it wired by a great pro guy, he is the best guy in las vegas, so could it be this is just the tonality of the distortion? maybe i should have gotton a c5?

The Distortion has plenty of low end. I've used them in all different woods for guitars and have never had that problem, even in an alder bodied, bolt on maple Floyd equipped guitar. Also, I use a Flextone III Plus, so I have a bit of experience there as well. I would double and triple check the wiring job. If that's not it, perhaps the pickup is not functioning properly. Did you get it new or used? Can you check its reading with a meter?

You might have it wired wrong. Possibly you have it wired in parallel. I like parallel a lot more than split. You coul also try soldering a 5k 1/4 watt resistor on the end of the hot lead to clean it up a little.
