The pickups are two of Gibson’s best humbuckers for playing the type of intense rock and roll made famous by Jones and the Sex Pistols – Gibson’s 496R humbucker in the neck position delivers incredible sustain and cutting power with its ceramic magnet, adding more highs with increased definition and no muddiness at all, while the 498T in the bridge position swaps the Alnico II magnet to an Alnico V, thus making it slightly hotter with emphasis on mid-ranges and highs. The pole pieces on the 498T are also aligned a little further apart to accommodate the spacing of the strings at the bridge, which is different than the spacing of the strings at the neck.

In a July 1996 interview with the UK magazine Total Guitar, guitarist Steve Jones confirmed his use of the Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp. He attributed "half the sound" of his guitar tone to this amp, noting a unique characteristic where "only one speaker was [working] and so it overdried the other one." This statement directly links Steve Jones to the Vox AC30, providing clear evidence of his utilization of this specific guitar amplifier.
