Seymour Duncan TS-2s, Triple Shot, LP, Set, Cr vs Seymour Duncan BMP-1 Bkouts Modular Pre Long Pot
The TS-2s Triple Shot is a passive switching system that adds wiring flexibility to existing humbuckers on Les Pauls, while the BMP-1 is an active preamp module designed for high-output signal conditioning in custom builds. Choose TS-2s if you want tonal variety without rewiring your guitar; choose BMP-1 if you're building an active system and need transparent gain and noise control.

Frequently asked questions
Do these products work together or are they mutually exclusive?
These are separate solutions addressing different needs. The TS-2s adds switching to passive humbuckers on Les Pauls, while the BMP-1 is an active preamp for custom builds. They serve different instrument types and wiring philosophies and are not typically combined in a single guitar.
Which is better for studio recording?
The BMP-1 is purpose-built for studio recording with its low-noise, transparent preamp topology and professional signal conditioning. The TS-2s is better suited for expanding tonal options on a passive instrument already in your studio setup.
Will either of these require significant guitar modification?
The TS-2s is designed to fit most Les Paul humbucker cavities without modification, though it will not fit Nickel and Gold covered Trembuckers. The BMP-1 long-shaft potentiometers accommodate standard control cavity drilling patterns without modification.
What skill level do I need for installation?
Both products are rated for intermediate to professional skill levels. The TS-2s requires no soldering and integrates into pickup rings, while the BMP-1 uses solderless Lockdown connectors to minimize assembly complexity, though active electronics installation still requires technical competence.
