Frequently asked questions

Can I use both pickups together in the same guitar?

Yes. The Neck and Bridge versions are designed as a matched pair within the Psyclone Vintage line, both using Alnico 5 magnets and Filter-Tron architecture. Using both together creates a balanced, cohesive vintage-voiced system optimized for each position's role.

What is the main tonal difference between 4.56k and 5.32k DC resistance?

The Neck's lower resistance (4.56k) emphasizes clarity and treble articulation with warmer midrange, while the Bridge's higher resistance (5.32k) produces slightly more output and tighter bass response. The Bridge version better cuts through a mix and handles dynamic pick attack.

Are these suitable for metal or high-gain genres?

No. Both pickups are voiced for vintage jazz, blues, rock, and indie styles. Their moderate output and warm character are not ideal for metal or djent applications, which typically require higher output and aggressive voiced pickups.

Do both pickups require Filter-Tron style routing?

Yes. Both the Neck and Bridge versions use Filter-Tron style routing and accommodate direct mount or ring mounting configurations. Ensure your guitar has compatible Filter-Tron cavities or routing before purchase.
