Morse Strat “quack” – SM1 vs Y2D

I’ve seen several people ask about getting the strat “quack” on a Morse. I have the SMI, and honestly, I feel like I get a much better stray sound using the single coil closest to the bridge pickup, not the “extra” slanted single coil (that is missing on the Y2D).

So I have 2 questions:
(1) for people with the SM1, have you found this to be the case? And what do you use the slant single coil pickup for?

(2) for Y2D owners, can you get a strat-type sound with the sole single coil pickup you have?

I’m really struggling to find a use for the extra slant single coil – but I’m also using a small digital practice amp…..fender mustang gt40…..so going to something with tubes, larger speakers, smaller enclosure, etc.. may end up making all the difference.
