Trogly did a review of a Reverend Jetstream which has the same pickups in it. He does a good job of showing the effects of the bass contour control, but not really saying what it is. It is just another tone knob that rolls off bass frequencies instead of treble frequencies. I can see why he calls it a boost, though (even though passive controls can't boost anything). The apparent volume drop is noticeable when you roll it off.


I tried to get it to start at the playing demo. It starts a little before actually.

Some on the Reverend forums have suggested that the pickups sound warmer on the Warhawk than this Jetstream. The Warhawk is a set neck and has a three-piece korina neck with a pao ferro fretboard. Comparing this video to what I hear from my amp, that seems to be true. That being said, I'm not playing through his amph. I'm also hearing him through my TV speakers.
