Frequently asked questions
Are the tone and output identical between black and white versions?
Yes. Both feature the same Alnico V bar magnet, 1.2 kHz resonant peak, active circuitry, EQ curve (Bass 7 / Mid 9 / Treble 5), and dual output modes. The cover color has no effect on sound.
Will this pickup work for djent and modern metal?
Yes. The tight low-end, articulate midrange punch, and controlled feedback make it well-suited for djent, drop tunings, and palm-muted riffing. The dual output modes also allow gain staging flexibility.
Does this pickup require a battery?
Yes, it is an active design and requires battery power. A battery clip is included with both versions to simplify installation.
Can I use this in both bridge and neck positions?
No. Both versions are designed for bridge position only. You would need a separate neck pickup if you want to replace that position as well.
