its the clearest metal pickup ive ever tried. active like highs that extend more than other pickups. it feels so alive.
the mids are set perfect, in a metal way.
the bass isnt super heavy and bass accented but still chugs with clarity, ive found over the years pickups in the bridge that have an adjusted low end to sound heavy always end up very low end speaker talky in a quad tracked rhythm for me personally. i always end up having to readjust the rest of the entire range and high end mostly.
12.7k
double thick ceramic
5/8/9
its not that height sensitive, i have it medium and its perfect.
it doesnt have that DD super heavy compressed 5-6k saturated high end feel to it. it has organic texture and depth.
i wouldnt trade this sound for anything else metal wise.
this is going to rock some serious metal mixes for me.
best part is it still retains a little of the DDb sound, like when you play a power chord on the 2/3 string and then go down to the 1/2 strings it has
that ahhh then down to ohhh sound which to me is the accent needed for a evil sound. there is no cocked wah sound, and the palm mute sound for the top three strings crunch with resonance in a metal sort of way.
when you pick a chord the notes dont scream across the board, the upper mids are way more relaxed than the DDb.
hopefully this review isnt too cheesy and all over the place.
i worked my ass off yesterday at work. im still drained but excited about this guitar sound!
peace
here is a clip i just made of it
quad tracked, very active like. stiff, wasnt easy to get right.
