Introduction: The Texas Recoiler is a device that simply makes any Single coil guitar pickups sound better. It does this by using a FET input stage along with special filtering techniques that produces a better quality tone and response similar to that of High end Custom Shop Pickups. You can easily dial in that special SRV mid dip along with adding a little more kick.
