Hi guys,

Not enough Invader clips around here...I know I had hard time finding any when I was deciding which pup to get..:)

Re: Just instaled Invader!

cool glad you like it, i installed one on my friends yamaha pacifica not so long ago and its a great sounding pickup, though not so much for cleans
 
Re: Just instaled Invader!

It works great on cleans here, if you set it up properly...
It has that pronounced "honk" in mids which I just love...

Also it is very dynamic and responsive pup...

It has plenty of bass, but only if you want it...

Here's a cool Invader thing that gets overlooked a lot... dial in a sh*t load of distortion, and experiment with rolling back the volume knob. Lots of great tones are hidden there :D

Hmmmm, thats maybe why the Invader has not jived with me. I didnt think about rolling the volume.

I always think pickups sound like sh*t with the volume lower than 10, but have had good results with this one.
 
Re: Just instaled Invader!

Bringing this one up a bit. Just got my filthy hands on one of these pups, wondering if it´s a good idea to put it in my Epiphone Les Paul? Alder body and all that, we tune down to B. My question is: will it be "muddy" in this tuning? Thinking that since there are sevenstring versions of the Invader it would sound ok..... or am I wrong? Anyone tried this?
 
Re: Just instaled Invader!

I tryed it in B....sounds ok, but sounds better in C or D...

It will sound great in Alder...but Im afraid Pauls are from Mahog not Alder..
And I dont think Invader would be good in Mahog, it has too strong bass for that...

And about volume, thats the best thing about this pup, it is not as compressed as Distortion for example, you can really use the volume knob..

I will vote for muddy in B tuning.
 
Re: Just instaled Invader!

I recently figured out why my Invader sounded good in my Epi Paul... it's alder :) I frequently tune my Invader guitar way lower than B, and like it.
 
Re: Just instaled Invader!

MAN, STOP TYPING AND START RECORDING THE SOUNDCLIPSSSSSSSSSSSSS
INVADERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR PLEASE.
AH.. PS - WITH FULL DISTORTION
ahahahahahah
 
Re: Just instaled Invader!

i just stuck one of my invaders in my ibanez destroyer (basswood, maple/rosewood) strung with GHS zakk wylde Lo tune strings (with the massive 70 low E) and tuned it to drop C...this thing is a MONSTER such thicker killer sound yet amazingly not muddy...i finally found a place to use an invader, i didn't like it in an alder strat tuned to E or drop D but with this setup it works!!

That's funny, because I'm a huge Invader fan, and my alder Strat with light strings in standard is the only place I haven't really liked it, too. I'm also considering the fact that heavier strings are part of the tone equation I can't go without :)
 
Re: Just instaled Invader!

Woody Weatherman from COC uses a invader in his Les Paul I always liked the tone he got. Pepper uses Anderson PUPS, looked into those didn't like the reviews.

Awesome. Sound dude.
