Frequently asked questions

Which pickup fits my guitar?

The Psyclone Hot requires Filter'Tron-style routing found on some semi-hollow and specialty guitars. The Psyclone Humbucker fits any guitar with standard humbucker cavities, which are far more common.

What's the main tonal difference?

The Hot prioritizes articulation and clarity with a lower output wind and hum-cancelling design, while the Humbucker balances articulation with warmth and dynamic response, thanks to its Alnico V magnet.

Can I use coil-tap or coil-split with these pickups?

The Humbucker includes a 4-conductor lead wire that supports coil-tap and coil-split configurations. The Hot uses a single-conductor lead wire, so it does not support these switching options.

Which is better for recording?

Both are listed for studio sessions. The Hot excels at capturing clean note separation and definition, while the Humbucker offers greater versatility for multiple tones from one pickup due to its switchable configurations and balanced character.
