Does anyone have experience with changing coils from a Pro to a Max? I know the Garrett coils are interchangeable but my question is about after market coils. Specifically the Nel Storm. I picked up a Max from a guy brand new the other day for $450 and while I have been frustrated I have figured out that some of it has to do with the Nel coil from my Pro.
When you put the Nel on the Max the tones get boosted so loud that the low tones go from sounding like grunts to farts or the likes of a vuvuzela. If you back the volume down on the control box they tame back down which is fine but even then something is off about it. I tried it on my test garden and noticed that it doesn't have as quick as a response to signal response between metals. So if you are swinging to fast it will completely miss the high tone. I'm not talking real fast either. One thing I have noticed with the Max (mine anyway) is that I have to swing much much slower to get the deep signals compared to the pro. When I switch back to the stock coil on the Max I still have to swing slower than the Pro to catch the high tones but I get it without having to creep like a snail.
Has anyone had any experiences like this? Also any tips from people coming from the Pro to the Max would be great too.
